What do you make?

I love to make handmade jewelry, miniature food and deco cosmetic cases.

What or who inspires you?

I always love something with flowers, plants, birds, fairy and things that are natural.

I have been playing with clay for 5 years and I still love it. The clay is where I search for different techniques to be used on my current designs.

How did you get started?

Initially, I went into art in order to design unique pieces for myself to wear. However, in time, I came to fall in love with it and started exploring the various crafting techniques, I just can't stop doing them everyday!

What are your favourite materials to work with?

My favourite materials are almost everything. It can be fabric, charms, stones, pearls and more. I can’t sit still and just doing one type of craft all the times. I love exploring new techniques.

What is the hardest and your most favourite part of crafting?

Hardest will be thinking the name for the creations and photoshopping the photos. That really can be very time consuming. Favourite part will be crafting. I love creating a lot. I think good sleep is important.

List 5 of your favourite links and why you like them
Etsy: I love purchasing goods from there and they are reliable, not to say one of a kind as well for those handmade items.
Stomp: Daily Singapore news of what people see and they post comments. Deviant Art: I enjoy admiring other people work be it any form of art.

Flickr: Enjoy browsing all kind of photos that people are sharing.

Facebook: Connect to all my new and old friends even though everyone is busy with their own lives.

Do you have any advice for those in the biz?

Always stay positive and be happy in life ... never let negative thoughts affect you. I did before, but never will I do it again. If I can so can you!

Do you consider yourself an artist or a crafter?

I consider myself to be both.
