Christmas Felties

Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle Bells chimes in Jingle Bell time

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air...

It's about end of the Christmas in the East, and begins in the West!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all friends a Merry Christmas!!

May the beauty of the season fill your heart with joy!

東方的聖誕節即將結束，而西方卻剛開始！

乘此時祝福每位到來的朋友們 - 聖誕快樂！！

祝福大家一個歡愉的聖誕假期！

This Christmas, no cards but 2 felties were made - Rudolph and Christmas Tree. 

今年沒有做聖誕卡，不過做了兩個不織布小物 - 聖誕麋鹿以及聖誕樹。

The Rudolph was made in early December and it was hand drew by myself according to a pattern I saw from esty.com.

月初瀏覽esty.com網站是看到了這可愛的麋鹿便依樣畫葫蘆的畫樣板並完成了第一個小物 ～ 麋鹿

For the tree, I adapted the template from Squawkfox and made my own design. It was completed on the day before Christmas Eve. It takes quite some time for me to finish just a single line of knotted pearl stitch as this is my first attempt, but I'm totally enjoy the process. I used machine to sew the sides and add red & golden glass beads alternately. Then stuff the polyester to fill the tree and applied blanket stitch to close the circle base. Lastly, glue a star shaped bead over the tip of the tree. Besides, I stitched "2012" on the circle base as a mark.

然而聖誕樹我採用了Squawkfox的樣板并在平安夜前一天完成。第一次嘗試珍珠結繡，非常享受整個過程。邊緣則用縫衣機縫上並以紅色和金色小珠。之後再填入填充棉以及縫合圓形底座。最後在樹的頂端黏貼上一顆星型珠子。還有，我在那圓形底座縫上2012作為一個標誌。

Quilled ATC

Hi, it has been over 2 months for my last update. Chinese Cari Forum's thread has been abandoned since last ATC swap in 2008. After a short chat in FB lately, we decided to come back for the swap.

The swap kicks-start someday in April, theme set as "Miss you, my friend" and deadline on June 15. During the period, I visited a lots of blog to seek for inspiration, besides, tight workflow also a cause. I was so panic whilst seeing some of the paticipants have completed their ATC.

As time draw near, I decided to use quilling for this project. Search and trial on several tutorials and then I opted for Malaysian Flower. Then began colour matching, paper trimming and layout arrangement; at last, after a few stay up late, 8 pieces ATC are completed!

Sincerely hope my partner will like the ATC I did!

兩個月的時間沒有更新了。自2008年兩回的ATC交換後，佳裡中文論壇的帖子有點荒廢了。近期在FB聊了起來，大家就卯起勁決定再來交換一次。

就這樣在四月的某天啟動了這項活動，ATC主題亦很快的定為“Miss you, my friend”，6月15日為截止日期。在寬容的時間裡，不斷地在瀏覽他人的部落格尋求靈感還是抓不到如何做這樣的主題，外加工作緊湊；接著又看到我的拍檔們逐漸完成了他們的ATC，我真的急壞了。

隨著時間的逼近，決定以捲紙來完成我的ATC。上網搜了各種捲紙花的教程並著手試玩了幾次就鎖定以捲Malaysian Flower為主。開始了選色、切紙和排列的安排；熬了幾夜總於完成了8張ATC，耶！

衷心希望我的ATC主人們會喜歡這匆忙中完成的Artist Trading Card！

Quilled Easter Egg

Hi, good evening all!
大家晚上好！

Easter Monday almost gone and this quilled Easter Egg just freshly done few minutes ago! It was started on Good Friday (of course, google for tutorial beforehand) and finally, completed in today! phew~
新鮮的復活節彩蛋恰好在復活節隔日快結束前完成了！在受難節開始（當然，是先搜了教程），呼～總算在今天做好了。


First attempt to do quilling in 3D. It's a little tough at the beginning and I was no idea for the layout. Thus, I follow my inclinations as the paper stripes quilled.
第一次嘗試作3D的捲紙。剛開始有點小困難並不清楚該怎麼設計安排。因此，我隨心所欲貼上捲好的紙條來完成。

All right, wishing you have a Happy Easter holiday and good night!
最後，祝大家有個愉快的復活節假期。晚安噜！
