Rubber Stamping Workshop

It's quite uncommon to have such workshops in Singapore. I get envious whenever I see fun workshops from overseas blogs. So when I found out that Fictive Fingers does workshops, I jumped at one almost immediately!
It's a 2-hour workshop at their new studio in Chinatown. I get to bring home 2 carving tools, 1 large rubber block, my stamped A3 paper and a strip of linen fabric, and of course my completed stamp.

 a hugeeeeee blackboard at the staircase landing. it's beautiful!

I did a sorta medium-sized stamp. I doodled the leaf just this morning, after looking at some craft blogs for inspiration.

 Using fabric paint on linen cloth... I'm hoping to explore this for my pouches and totes :)

Using stamp ink on paper...

I liked the workshop! It's great to meet and chat with a fellow crafter (Hani) who takes her work seriously. Fictive Fingers is involved in Handmade Movement Singapore, and I hope you can support them!

Rounded pouch!

Rounded, just like apples!

I bought this apple-printed hankerchief when was in Guangzhou last year. Well, I don't use hankies, but the fabric was too pretty to resist.

I finally took it out today and decided to make a different style of pouch. I wanted to try pleated at the front, but it didn't quite work out. So I tried this way instead. I'm gonna give the pleated one another try next day.

I still have 3 other different fabrics to use... but this apple print is the nicest. My cousin saw it and immediately ordered from me :)

Do you like it too?

What happens on Sundays

So this is me, on a Sunday, putting in some effort to making my Facebook Page look a little more decent than the big mess that it is now. My man made a small lightbox for me, which makes my photos look a tiny bit more professional.
Haha, I think this set up looks funny.
Anyway, I kinda have a big collection of fabrics AND they are all over my room... So this is gonna take a while. I have only just uploaded 11 new images to my Fabrics album and I gotta run to town to get some supplies for some orders!

All this time, Lipton accompanies me by sleeping on the most comfortable spot on my bed! It's a good thing that I've had a very well-rested night (12 hours, to be exact...) if not, just watching him would induce anyone to zzzzzzzzz...
It IS Sunday after all, and everyone is entitled to do whatever they like!

Well, this isn't an idea... but I'm head over heels in love with this Belle & Boo brand! Just how adorable are the characters? (i'm a bunny lover...) The fabrics are painfully expensive! :(
