How to get there & shuttle bus schedules. To illustrate in slightly more familiar terms perhaps would be that if it were me, i'd come out from the exit of Plaza Singapura, near Carrefour & Toast Box which leads to the taxi stand (which also will be the pick up point of the shuttle bus). On your left should be the entrance to the carpark of PS. If you were to walk along the path towards The Cathay, shortly after the carpark of PS there is a staircase that you see on the map above. Taking it all the way up will lead you to Sinema Old School. I have yet been assigned with a stall / lot number so once i have details on that you'll be kept informed.
Just so i fulfill my promises. I'll sneak a few more along the way, whatever i can make i guess. :)

Dear Erina the heartbreaker,
Darling little chirpies on tensha like porcelain beads. Traditionally tensha beads are acrylic based, however these are porcelain versions in elongated rectangular puff shape. Rather matching for an idyllic afternoon with tea and scones. Maybe a day without the scorching heat and clingy humidity would go just fine for a perfect afternoon. All gold accents are 14k gold plated.

Since we're going ecologically conscious, here's one little necklace to champion the cause. No, not entirely since we're chopping trees for fashion now. These cute little woodland creatures were laser cut for precision, to attain maximum detail in attention to detail Germany. I love how these organic items are now part of fashion, very chic i say. Strung on leather cord for flexibility, length adjustable from 12" (choker length) to 22". Pendant measures 6cm in height and 4cm width. If you'd prefer it on 14k gold plated chains or rhodium chains, indicate your preference when you drop me a mail. Full length image here.
For a period of time i was rather fascinated with shell and mother of pearl beads, and i guess the fascination is back with a twist. In fact i've come to notice that abalone shells are one of the few beads that has really interesting shapes to play with. Most gemstones tend to come with rather similar cuts and for a person like me who relies on shapes of materials a lot as a design factor, i'm also beginning to feel a little stifled. So imagine my delight to find such a lovely shape to work with! I've kept it really simple so as not to detract from the high sheen and unique qualities of the abalone shell. Tribeca measures 3.5cm excluding stainless steel earhooks. Wires used are argentium silver.
Decided to do a bit of wire crafting to experiment and see what i could do with a one time try without ruining the wire. Guess i did a pretty ok job huh. Imported black cubic zirconia butterflies and brass swallow charms on tarnish resistant wires. Wing Accents measures 4.5cm excluding 14k gold plated earhooks.
Naomi celebrates spring by lying down on the grass and watching the azure skies cloak the days with colours soft and cheery. Imported yellow cubic zirconia butterflies, aquamarine nuggets, swarovski crystals with full sterling and argentium silver hooks, chains and wires. Naomi's kinda zesty, a good way to inject some life into 2008 after its first quarter. Measures 5cm excluding sterling silver earhooks.
I finally gave in to my sickness of over 3 weeks and saw a doctor. Not surprisingly he told me it's clearing up, but gave me an mc and insisted i take a good rest and not go to work. So here i am taking pictures of a necklace i completed over the weekend. This little darling would be rather charming against a crisp shirt or blouse, quite lovely for work i'd say. The bronzite oval, zebra jasper coin and cream pearls make for a rather elegant do. More close up shots of it here, here and here. Dusk measures 22.5" inclusive of pendant. One piece only.
Brass kitty charm sits atop a white hot stove all this while being dangled from a 14k gold plated chain. No kittens were harmed in the processed of this necklace. Kitty & stove measures approx 4cm, while chain measures approx. 26", adjustable to wearer's preference. Kitty on a stove in more flattering light, here.
As promised, I will plant you a lilac tree is a little darling of lilac roses and aquamarine faceted diamonds. I will plant you a lilac tree measures a petite 3cm excluding earhooks."'Tell me what you remember most about home,' Dick asked me one evening.
'A lilac tree,' I said. 'It bloomed every May around the time of Mama's birthday. Papa was a romantic; he would stand under the tree and sing songs of lilacs and love to her. The memory is so vivid in my mind, I can almost smell the lilacs now.'
'One day, when this is over, I'll plant you a lilan bush. Perhaps it will grow old and become a tree, like the one you remember.'
For that brief moment, I allowed my heart to swell with joy."
I Will Plant You A Lilac Tree, Laura Hillman.
Back to my namesake, earrings! Mottled brown czech fire polished glass beads with wooden discs and gold tassles make for a simple, swinging creation. Perfect for tomorrow's dress down fridays or the coming weekends. Doesn't all this just spell fun and relaxation? Accalia measures 5cm excluding 14k gold plated earhooks.
Yet another of Ginette's Swiss Beads polymer clay creation, this time round i've paired the funky tiger striped bead with onyx in different shapes and sizes. A play on the colors associated with the luxuriant oil rush era. The Caspian Sea measures 7.5", adjustable to wearer's wrist.
Finally I get to use the malachite stones that I've gotten from quite some time back. I was introduced to this exquisite stone when I was in Japan last year and I just fell in love with them. There's something really alluring about the multiple bands of luscious green. Kinda reminds me of nature. Teamed with african prehnite square and a lovely polymer clay garden lentil by Ginette of Swiss Beads, this is quite a charmer. A gold plated crown toggle clasp ends of this 7.5" beauty. Length adjustable to wearer's wrist.
How to get there
Yep for the queen of your heart, be it your bestie, or just for yourself, we all deserve to be loved. Vintage with love envelope charm and 14k gold plated crown charm with a little crystal to make everything sparkly and shiny. Strung on a 14k gold plated chain, Queen of my Heart is currently 16" long, which can be adjusted to your preference.
A lilypad doubles in size each day
I laid out the beads for this bracelet for some time trying to think of a manner to jazz it up without doing something i've done recently. Sometimes i just wanna change the style, keep thinking and moving or something, without ending up looking like i've adopted another person's style. I'll have to admit it's really not easy. After completing the supposed skeleton, i decided to try it on, and nearly didn't want to take it off. =P So instead of something with lots of chains multi stranded and all over the place, Amaranth has been kept simple. 14k gold plated toggle and parts make up the full 7.5" Amaranth.
Fairy Delight is a lariat necklace with czech fire polished glass beads and a 14k gold plated rope chain with a lobster clasp that allows you to clip onto the fairy brass charm or onto the bling ring for a simple necklace. Fairy Delight measures approx 20", lovely for a funky weekend or casual friday at work.
Andrea features handmade polymer clay rounds by Jacqueline, original Miyuki acrylic flowers and leaves imported from Japan, pink glass flowers and 14k gold plated chains for tassles. Perfect for that flirty sundress over the weekends or some spring chic for work. Utterly light and happy! Andrea measures a petite 3.5cm excluding 14k gold plated earhooks.
Guess i still love the apatite and amethyst combination very much. So i've managed to match a round polymer clay bead from Karin for this bracelet. Measuring 7" Smitten too is adjustable to the wearer's wrist. One piece only, the last of Karin's clay round. For a better all round view of the clay round, have a look at Symmetry.
A lone absinthe teardrop imported from the U.S. dangles at the end of the branch 14k gold plated charm. Necklace measures 18".
Yes hopefully this new year spells more travelling for me and you, hopefully of the fun and leisure sort rather than the work sort. Flourite rice beads, Karin's blue ice polymer clay beads, seafoam glass oval and a little 14k gold plated plane charm. A dainty piece for the delicate high flier. Bracelet measures approx 7", adjustable to suit the wearer's wrist. One piece only.
