Dear diary,
My aunt appeared before with 2 angels beside her. Of course I wasn't the one who seen it. This new year another aunt gave me an angel. Well of course if I wasn't the one who choose it.
I was dying to know how to make the same thing until I patronized a craft work shop one day. And they say to make a lovely craft work, you cannot scrunge on the materials so I ended up spending 50 over dollars on the angel materials.
The shop lady was kind enough to teach me how to make my very first angel. It only took 10 mins of my time and the process was very easy. I'm sharing the details on precious angel making if you're lucky to read on! You may even save some fees on courses >_< . Assesories - (Swarovski crystals best recommended)
:Bigger size crystals(Wings)
:3 blue crystals(back and hand/m3 size)
:1 clear crystal (front/m3 size)
:1 crown (m6 size)
:1 head
:1 skirt
:1 pin hole (seen on the right picture)
:1 strap (according to preference)
Required tools:
:round hole(Plier for curving metal)
:thread (used for fishing)
Step1:
Place the hands, back, front and wings of the angel on a clear desk/sheet of white paper in the following alignment.
Step 2:
Thread through the 6 crystals starting from any one and repeat this cycle for 3 times.
Step 3:
Tighten the thread line and tie 2-3 dead knots.
Your cyrstal would look like this now.
Step 4:
Place the skirt into the pin hole
Next the body
Followed by the head and lastly the crown.
Step5:
Attach the strap into the tip of the pin hole and using the round head to twril a round knot.
Additional:
You can even use earring hooks or as a pendant.

Dear diary,
I'm lightening the burden over the semesters by exploring new crafts and fun stuffs.
Its the started of getting crazy over new creative art pieces. This overwhelming hobby is tiring but lovely to no expense.
Recently I've been experiencing with this new clay defined as " soft clay". Termed to be imported from korea, I've gotten myself a bucket of soft clay from Novena after viewing all their fantastic displays.
Soft clay is easy to handle unlike those where you have to bake in the oven for hours. It is just like sterofoam and will harden depending on its shape size.
Simply just add a few droplets of ink in clay and knead to desire colour.
Start making any shapes and use only "PVA glue" to attach parts of the clay.
The amazing thing about this clay is you can reuse it anytime after it has harden just by spraying water and leave it aside for a few hours to make it soft again.
Unfortunately the colour doesn't change after mixing with ink.
Some of my work pieces >_< :
Sandwhich:
Brown cookie : This effect is done using a brush and dabbing on the surface.
My favourite sushi! : IKURA
Bunny :
Lavender on a chain:
Piggies and red heart earrings
Smiley Cloud:
Earrings: Only the cookie and ladybug are made from clay. Maybe I'll do some flowers next time.
Rainbow connection: I made this one for a classmate lydia.
Bears of glory:
Little susy:
This took me quite a few hours outlining the lines and making sure its not crumbled.
But it didnt turn out that nice either.
I've followed some of the art pieces from the following website. Do take a look!
