"We only see money, we only see brands, we only see the comfortable life,

The time has arrived for change when the world ends,

we will miss the important things,

we will finally see with our hearts eye,

and we will learn that we missed out on an amazing opportunity. " -SANER

Hot stuff

Salam & Hye! I am so happy, i got my package last day which i ordered on Monday from Sus n d Felt Product (it only takes 2days, fast huh? :) I am a happy customer, so i thought why not i do some sort of review on what i ordered. Maybe it might be helpful for crafter out there :) So lets get started.
a. Sorbet Tiny Buttons; RM10 : They are so tiny and cute (around 6mm in size) with multiple colors and shapes. Each pack contained 60 pieces. 
b. Funky Mini Flowers Buttons; RM10 : They're come in multiple colors and sizes ( 9mm-6mm) and colors. Each pack contained 45 pieces. I think it may be cute to use as an embellishment on your projects.
c. Mixed Heart Buttons; RM5.50 : Also come in multiple colors but they're quite big (around 14mmx15mm). Anyway, they're still damn cute. haha. Each pack contained 25 pieces.
d. Black HP Straps; RM18 : In a pack of 100 pieces for RM18 ? are you kidding me?, i mean you have to grab this ;) but, i figured out some of the clasp are not so sturdy. But it's OK for me. (Beli sekali bundle, biasalah.. )
e. Keychain; RM18 : Also in a pack of 100 pieces. I don't have words for this, but they are well-made. 
f. Black Round Brads; RM4.80 : Each pack contained 12 pieces. They are 8mm in size. I used them a lot as eyes for my plushies. So cute and I need more :) 
g. Black Round Brads; RM 6 : Same function as above only that each pack contained 40 pieces and in size of 5mm.
h. Round Brooch Pin; RM16 : Contained 100 pieces. They have different sizes but i bought 15mm. 
i. Brooch Pin; RM4 : They are 20 pieces in a pack and also come with multiple sizes. But i recommend you to buy a pack of 100 pieces. I don't know, more worthy i guess. hehe
j. Bell; RM5 : In a pack of 20 pieces, in size of 6mm and with random colors. And.. still cute.

In a nutshell, you should check out their website. If you are like me, i promise you gonna be crazy looking at their stuff. So cute! ( I know, i wrote so many cute in this post :). And that's all for now, TC!

Paper Flowers

Salam peeps,This week kind of hectic for me. After took a few days off, there are many things i have to do and i don't know where to start. Haha. Silly me. Anyhow, i am helping my friend doing her wedding preparations. I'm super excited. I do a lot of research. Inspirations and tutorials on  "how to make paper flowers". Well you know, wedding is incomplete without flowers and fresh flowers are expensive. Economic friendly, durable, fun to make. I guess this is the best alternative. Only need a little bit of your creativity and imaginations. They are super beautiful! (Even they are fake) So here are some links that i guess will be super helpful :) DIY mode, turn on!. hehe. TC!

Maison Lemarie'

I was watching the making of Chanel couture gown at Youtube when i discovered these pretty, delicate, elegant thingy; flowers and feathers. After some research, i found that it made by a company known as Maison Lemarie'. Lemarie is an established company from France specialized in making flowers and feathers (obviously) and couture. I am so inspired by their details of beautiful works and how many passions they put in their process. (I'm burning, can you see? haha)

So guess what.we know where this story goes. haha. i pun berangan la, try to make my own flowers out of felt. Experimenting here and there. I also made some sketch, planning to do hand-print on fabric. Will update (one day soon) how it turns out. hehe. TC buddies!   

Who want candy?

I love minimalist artworks. So i tried to make one, using AdobePhotoshop. I don't know whether this can be classified as minimalist artwork or not? haha. Anyway, i'm having so much fun playing with the colors and shapes. I think my favorite color for this year are pastel-candy-color schemes. I know pastel colors already becoming a trend a few years back. And Pantone already picked radiant orchid as color of the year 2014. But hey, i am a late bloomer :) TC guys!

FluffyPillow

Salam&Hye buddies! 

Lama gila tak update sebab.. malas. haha. Currently LarutMalam sibuk dengan FluffyPillows. Yeah I don't know how and i don't know why, suddenly i am crazy about pillow-making stuff. All of them are made from fleece fabric (so they are so soft&fluffy :) and also felt fabric. They are 14x14 inches and filled with polyester fibre. Most of them are custom order. So any inquiries, feel free to PM me.

Well, i'll share with you guys the plush-pillow in the next update (tak tahulah bila mood rajin tu datang.hehe) Till then, TC! 

When bunnies become heroes

Salam & Hello peoples!

Minggu ni, minggu sangat mencabar. Macam- macam dugaan datang. And the only thing to distract my disturbed mind.. Menjahit !!! Somehow, all those felt creatures are more friendly than our reality world. (freak!) And for this week project, still in the mood of superheroes.Yeah, i love all those heroes, Especially MARVEL ;) But in a more simple design. And testing my skills using the sewing machine.(Ternyata, banyak lagi kena belajar. haha)

Lets call them, superheroes+ bunny edition.haha. They're just 5 1/2 inches. Anybody wanna adopt them? pm me *wink. TC!

my friends are heroes #2

Salam & Hye!
Plush update:) Recently finished all the superheroes. For the 2nd wave.Yeah \m/

<<< and this dude, took me like forever to finish him!.

but i love how it turned out to be pretty cool ^-^. This is my first attempt, sewing a weapon. I don't know if it looks like what it's supposed to be.. haha. and there are supposed to be four of them.

but unfortunately, Mr Wolverine already at a new home. So, yeah.That's all for now.TC buddies!

my friends are heroes

Selepas beberapa hari tidur tak cukup. Selepas beberapa hari makan tak sempat. After all those hectic and suffering. Finally finally finally.. Siap jugak!!!!! Yeaaaaaa... I made them as requested by friends of ma bro. All of them are 12 inches tall and totally hand-sewn. Jujurnya, buat depa memang menguji kesabaran. Benang terbelit la, salah potong la. But after all get done, looking at their chubby-ness, arghhh.. you can't resist to smile and squuueeeeeeezzze them.haha. ok.

TC pals!

have heart

Lately, i've been drawing like crazy. ( its like, you keep drawing one after another,non stop) . Actually its more like a therapy, trying to distract myself. and keep my self busy. haha. Ibu cakap, "Lukis la gambar cantik-cantik sikit". Ayah cakap, " Apelaa asyik gambar tengkorak je". I don't know. The moment i hold the pencil and paper, they start to come out. Unconsciously.hee

Anyway, have a good day! TC

feelin; good

It has been a while since my last entry. Dah bersarang tak nampak jalan dah blog ni (ok, cliche! haha). After resigning my job, i'm jobless for a while. (a while la sangat, padahal a month). So, i got nothing to do. alone in my rented room. to kill my boredom, i did some trashy drawing and painting. Anyway, it made me feel good, being able to play with the colors and brushes.having so much fun ^_^ Till then, TC!

comeback?

Hi. So, it has been a loooooonnnnnnnnnnngggggg time. I miss my old days where I've so many free times to spend, doing things that i like. I'm not missing an action. Well as an adult, i have to start looking for a job. And yes i got it. BUT, it was a nightmare for me. Now i know how nasty and cruel this real life. (baru tahu ke?heh..) I've no problem with the company's system but the way they manage it and the way they do their business are totally make my rebel spirit rushed through my veins. Dan ramai cakap, "come on la Aten, that's the nature of business and sales." Oh yeah? Sorry and come on la dude, that's not my nature.I'm not saying that i'm totally a pure, innocent or angelic person but how can i sit calmly, crossing my arms and legs, watching all the LIES? "kalau itu ini tak boleh aten, macam mana nak maju dalam bisnes?" i don't give a **** man, as long as i know i'm doing the right thing. dan itu tak termasuk lagi cerita betapa terdesaknya seorang manager ni try to take over our mind,body and soul (amboi, ok itu hiperbola.haha) dengan mengindoktrinasikan 'duit adalah segala-galanya'.

"Dengan duit, kau orang boleh buat macam-macam, boleh beli segala-galanya. Even cinta dan kasih sayang mak bapak kau orang pun boleh beli. Kau orang boleh ada berapa banyak orang gaji yang kau mau. Macam aku. Letak je kaki atas meja, dia orang bukak stokin. Ada lipas je dalam rumah aku, dia orang mati " blablabla 

Bukan nak cakap aku pejuang cinta tegar tapi ini sudah lebih. Macam hedonisme pun ada. Nak cerita panjang pun tak guna. Tapi kalau kau orang ada dalam situasi aku, rasa nak baling kasut je dekat uncle sorang ni. Mungkin aku juga ada silap pemahaman niat sebenar yang cuba disampaikan. Atau mungkin emosi dan jiwa memberontak aku silap tempat dan masa. Tapi cukuplah.

I QUIT& MOVING ON.

At this point of time, i feel like doing nothing but just focus on my craft/art business plan.That's the only thing i'm passionate about. Tapi lepas baca "Why artist & illustrator should get a job". I'm neither an artist nor an illustrator, but it is wisely written and gave me a "pang" a lil bit. haha. So again, start looking for a new job. 

Semoga dipermudahkanNya :)

p/s: PRU13? =_=   

Si Pemalas

Lama dah tak men-doodle ni. Karat juga la otak. But the hardest part for me is Coloring! Im very bad in matching up the colors. Oh.. Hopefully she will like it :)

TC! people.

melancholy of me

this gonna be a rare post.

this is not my style to write "my feeling" in my blog.

......

this week is my super saddest and hectic week.

we were surprised by new born bunnies last week.

we were over excited. I delayed most of my work because of them.

They were five of them. And i can't resist their cuteness.

But.. our happiness doesn't last longer. Two days later, their mom died.

So we started to look after the babies. and.. it was not an easy task.

Since they were too small. It was difficult to find a suitable milk to feed them.

we were trying so many ways even do some research, called a veterinarian for advices.

Unfortunately, they started dying one by one.

And three of them were dying in my hand.

I can see how they were trying, gasping for the air for the last time.

oh God.. can you feel how i feel? 

and my tears can be stopped anymore.

(ibu cakap: dah ajal diaorang, redha jela..)

now, only one left. But she/he is very weak and unstable.

hope, she/he can stay strong.

 I also learned & keep reminding myself that,

# tak ade satu pun dapat menandingi ciptaan Allah. 

tak kesah la susu replacement secanggih, semahal mana pun..

never be the same as the original one.

SORRY. grammar, ayat terabur habis ke laut.

serabut..huhu.. :(

TC!
