Cherry blossoms....

PB022b

PB022a

I got this idea from thinking of what my Chinese New Year theme cards would be this year......I was just playing around with my new craft punch and see how it would turn out. So that's how these bookmarks came about. With the red, white, orange and gold combination.....that has been the common colors used for Chinese New Year's celebration. I kinda like the red design the most.....it's more outstanding than the other one.....but then, hey....that's just me! hehehe! Which is your fave? :))))

Lovely hearts....

PB021

Lovely hearts.....all sorts of shapes and sizes! Love doing this one.....in conjunction of the Valentines Day that's just around the corner. :) I used red hot color paper and layered it with a cream color paper at the back. In between it is the white transparent shiny organza fabric to make the heart shine :) Love that effect! Then I decorated around it with multi-colored heart shapes. Last but not least, I dotted some glitter glue to add a special touch to it. Noticed that I did something else that's different this time?? Yes, it's the corners of the bookmark. I used pattern scissors to cut the corners of the bookmark. I love that effect. Don't you? hehehehe! :)))))

Happy New Year 2010!

Happy New Year 2010 everyone!!! It's the new year and things are looking pretty good! :) I have many plans for this blog this year. Hopefully it will materialize in due time. I have neglected this blog last year. Was too busy with my card blog...hehehehe..... I guess I thought I could handle both smoothly but I guess not. What I want is to be able to provide my customers with good and reasonably priced artwork. I will try to update this blog as often as I could and improve more for this year. Wish me luck ya!!! ;)

Green paper bookmarks

PB020b

PB020a

Green! Yup! Another new paper beaded bookmark made in apple green color. Combination of green and purple which I love and also combination of red and green that feels a little Christmassy hehehe.... These bookmarks are made using the same technique like I did previously and am so loving it as it is easy to do. It also gives me a chance to use my flower and leaf craft punches in another type of craft. All this time I've only used them for my cards and now it can be used here for my bookmarks. Cool! :)

New bookmark!

PB019

I experimented on a new design for my paper beaded bookmark. This time around I wanted something that is easier and faster to make. So I used my medium sized craft punch and punched out some flower patterns on the paper like the one you see above. The punched out part I layered behind it with a white organza fabric. The same technique I did for my other paper beaded bookmarks except this time around I pasted or shall I say decorated the bookmark with flowers and leaves made using the craft punches. I also decorated the ribbons with colored plastic beads that match the colors of the bookmark. I will be making more paper beaded bookmarks similar to this technique in future. I'm so loving this! Hope you guys love it too! :))))

Busy busy busy!

Hello all!

Gosh! It has been quite a while since I last updated my bead blog :). Been so busy with my greeting card blog and with the unpacking and organizing my studio and stuff. It has been pretty crazy here lately! Phew! :) But nonetheless, I have been taking orders from this blog too since the move and it's great! I would really like to thank my customers who have been so supportive throughout my involvement in this new venture of mine. I have been thinking of new ideas for my bead blog and am really hoping to share with my customers and readers too. Hopefully I can do it next year! Keep tuning in to my bead blog ya! Thanks all!

xoxo,

Open in September

Dear all......I am now in Alor Setar! Yup! I have finally moved back to Alor Setar and will continue with my work here. At the moment I'm busy preparing my new working place. Unpacking all my equipments, tools and materials......arranging them in my new so called "studio". God willing I hope everything will run smoothly and I will be able to start taking orders again on the 1st of September. :)

Till then! Thank you all for your support and patience!

The Big Move......

As of today.....I won't be able to take anymore orders of bookmarks online.....truly sorry for the inconvenience....I am currently concentrating now on my move to another place.....hopefully I will be much healthier and happier there.

I can't really say how long it will take before I can take orders again.....it will probably take a couple of months, but I am hoping it will take less time than that. Feels sad to stop the online sales for a while......but I don't have much of a choice. Hopefully I will be back in the game soon....till then, bye bye for now.....wish me luck on the move!

Wordings on bookmark

PB018

Kinda excited about this design! Especially since there is wordings involved hehehe.....just simple ones with a short first name and some beads on the ribbon with letters on them and arranged to form words. I bought these beads quite a long time ago but never really done any design with them yet....so with this new idea I can do more designs in future...... :)

Double duty RB011

RB011 (Double duty)

This was an order I got from a good friend of mine recently.....she adored the RB011 ribbon beaded bookmark and wanted it to be a double duty type. So designed a new one for her. :)

Teachers day bookmarks

PB017c

PB017b

PB017a

It has been a long time since I actually posted new beaded bookmarks designs here. Feels great to be able to do so today. Here are some paper beaded bookmarks I made today inspired by a few of my handmade cards. I used to make my handmade cards with designs like these. I made the wordings as part of the flower and leaves....... :)

If you are interested in this design, but do not like the color combination found here......do let me know so that I can make one for you with the color of your choice. Thanks! :)

Love birds 3

PB016

This one really stands out simply for it's color! Red and yellow....what a combination! hehehe! But I love how the red color just stand out from afar. :) If you click on the top photo you could see that I layered a red net cloth between the paper.....it's a different approach to my paper bookmark technique. I like to try out new materials every now and then. I do think it worked out just fine for this one. As you can see for this particular bookmark, I decided to use a wider ribbon compared to the smaller ones that I used for this similar design. So, I ended up using only one heart shape bead at the top part of the bookmark.

This paper beaded bookmark is 5cm wide and 14.8cm in length.

White swans...

PB015

I simply adore this one! It's would be perfect for a Valentine gift! The front and the back of the paper beaded bookmark has different color papers....one is dark red and the other is white. Both papers are new and very pretty with embossed designs on it, giving them a little texture on the surface.

This paper beaded bookmark is 5cm wide x 14.8cm in length.

Love birds 2

PB003a

I have always loved this design because it was inspired by my two dear friends who are the most darling lovebirds I've ever known. :) I would love to make more of this design in other colors beads, paper and layers on the inside of the bookmark itself. As you can see from the original design, I layered the paper with a thin see through organza cloth between the two papers. But here in this new bookmark, I layered it with just another metallic silver paper. It works just as lovely. I love how it shines whenever it hits the light!

This paper beaded bookmark is 5cm wide x 14.8cm in length.

Rose collection 4

PB014

I made another rose themed paper beaded bookmark today........with dark red card as the background.....I love dark red colors....so romantic! hehehe......for this one I couldn't get smaller dark red ribbons so I used a wider ribbon with a dark red color to match the rose. I place a simple medium sized bead on top of the bookmark that matches the cream colored paper.

Size of paper beaded bookmark : 5cm wide x 14.8cm in length

Rose collection 3

PB013

I love rose themes :) Wish I could make them in several colors and designs. This is the same design as the one I made before except that I changed the color. I am loving this color recently hehehe..... :) I even used clear bright pink beads for the ribbons.....so cute!!!

Size of paper beaded bookmark : 5cm x 14.8cm in length

Golden yellow....

RB017

This is another one of my double duty handmade ribbon beaded bookmark. It's all yellow and gold themed....although there are a couple of orange colored beads added to it. :) This is a cute bookmark too, with two cute yellow ribbons added at the ends of the bookmark, not to mention the heart shape beads too!

Christmas themed bookmark

RB016

This handmade ribbon beaded bookmark was inspired by Christmas colors and ornaments. I used red and green beads as the main colors for this bookmark along with the red and green ribbons too.

This bookmark is a double duty bookmark.....whereby you can use it in two different ways....I especially love the red ribbons at the ends of the bookmark.....so cute! I also added a couple of red heart shape too......therefore this bookmark is suitable to be given to a loved one on Christmas day. :)

Rose collection 2

PB012

Similar to the black and brown rose design I posted earlier, this one has a lighter shade to it. I made it in cream and brown combination that looks simply elegant as well. With matching brown beads at the ends of the brown ribbons, it gives the bookmark a shine that lasts forever :).

The size of this paper beaded bookmark is about 5cm wide x 14.8cm in length.

Rose collection 1

PB011

This paper beaded bookmark was inspired by one of my card designs that I made a while back. The design of the rose was hand carved with a craft knife to form the shape of a rose with it's petals and stalk. I adorned the black ribbon with brown and black beads to match the color of the rose. Very simple and elegant looking :)

The size of this paper beaded bookmark is about 5cm wide x 14.8cm in length

A bouquet.....

PB010

Another request that I received recently for a paper beaded bookmark. Very fancy, very sweet! It's a lot wider and longer than the other paper beaded bookmarks that I have here in my bead blog. The bookmark is approximately 7.5 cm wide and 21 cm long.

My customer was very interested in the Hen Night card I made sometime ago. You can view it here. So the bookmark has the same bouquet that the Hen Night had. I wish I could put in the same laces though, but unfortunately they are all out. So I had to use whatever laces I had available to match the flowers. I really am in love with this bookmark and I hope the receiver will love it too!!! :)

Double duty RB002

RB002b (SOLD OUT)

I received a request to make a ribbon beaded bookmark that has similar beads and ribbon as the RB002 ribbon beaded bookmark. The difference in this new design is that this particular design is has more function to it. Double duty! It can be placed inside the book, in between the pages and can also be wrapped around the pages so that it won't fall off from the book. Just like RB001 beaded bookmark. Cool huh? It's a trick I learned from some of the beaded bookmark websites.

The length of the bookmark is quite long......it's about 16 inches long, including the length of the beads at the ends of the bookmark. The length of the center of the bookmark is about 12 inches long, which is long enough to fit in any book. :)

Red, pink and yellow combo

RB001c

Yup....yet another version of RB001. This time around I change the ribbon again to the red with gold lining type. And I arrange the beads of yellow and pink. :)

Soft green and pink combo

RB001b

This is another version of RB001. I changed the color of the ribbon from peach to soft green. Even the beads, I changed it a little with new soft pink plastic pearl and crystal beads.

PB009

Each bookmark has one medium sized bead attached at the top part of the bookmark. These bookmarks are about 5 cm wide by 14.8cm in length.

Leaf motifs.....

PB008

The leaves in motion........flowing, heading towards one direction.....way to the top! This paper beaded bookmark was inspired by one of my card design..... :) You can view the card here. These bookmarks are about 2 inches by 6 inches in length. Each bookmark has a medium sized round yellowish bead attached to it at the top part of the bookmark. I did not produce them in bulk....I only made about 7 of them. So if anyone is interested to purchase these bookmarks please email me for the details of the price. First come first serve! :)

Cute pictures.....

These are some new designs I made incorporating pictures from a wrapping paper. They are so cute I couldn't help but use them for my paper beaded bookmark. I only made one of each design since I don't have available many of the same wrapping paper......so these are definitely a limited edition collection. The paper beaded bookmark is about 5cm wide by 14.8cm in length and has a bead attached to it..... :) Please email me for details of the prices for each of these bookmarks if you wish to purchase them. First come first serve! :)

Islamic pattern on blue paper bookmark....

PB002

This handmade paper bookmark is another one of my recent creations.....It has an Islamic pattern on it that has been hand drawn on the blue paper and later cut out to show the colour of the green paper at the back of it. It also has a thin glittering fabric underneath it. And I added the blue and green beads to match. I do think this design is suitable for the guys :)

Green paper bookmark with sunflower motifs

PB001

I'm pretty exited with this new bookmark I made......I have done a couple of designs similar to this type of bookmark about a year ago....the same kind of technique, but different layout and colour, which I made exclusively for two of my special friends as gifts. I really loved the idea and wanted to share it with everyone who is interested in paper bookmarks. Since I love beads so much, I try to include them by tying them by the ends of the ribbons......and I chose beads that would match the colour of the paper used for making the bookmark. The pattern on the bookmark is hand drawn and cut out one by one.....then I placed a special fabric behind the cut out pattern to create the glittering effect on the bookmark.

This handmade paper bookmark is quite difficult to make, and a bit time consuming too because I need to cut out the pattern by hand.....therefore making each bookmark I made exclusive and unique as each one is never exactly the same. :)

Flower beads.....

RB015

Isn't this sweet!? This is for those who loves the pink colour :) I love flower beads and I tried to use this flower beads for this particular ribbon bookmark. It was kinda hard to tie it up at the ends though. But I love how it turned out.

This handmade ribbon bookmark is based on a 1/8" pink satin ribbon with soft pearl beads, soft pink clear beads and transparent flower beads. The centre of the bookmark measures up to 10 inches long. The measurement can be custom made according to your liking.

Dark blue.....

What can I say.....my favourite colour is blue! And I do adore this bookmark....just because of the colour hehehe! :) It somehow reminds me of the blue kebaya songket that my cousin and her hubby wore on their wedding day :D. It was beautiful! Dark blue with silver patterns on the songket design. So maybe that's how I got inspired to make this blue ribbon beaded bookmark....

This handmade ribbon beaded bookmark is based on a 1/8" blue satin ribbon with silver linings. On each end of the bookmark are arrangements of blue and clear crystal like beads. They are only plastic....but look like crystals hehehe.....cut and shaped like one. The centre of the bookmark is about 10 inches long, suitable for any paperback books.

Soft green with green flowers

RB010

I love love love this soft green combination that has some soft pink and white beads in it too. The green flower is just so cute. I got those at a new bead store and if I am not mistaken, they also come in a few more other colours except that the colours are quite limited.

I know that I have been making the bookmarks here that has a centre measurement of 10 inches long for each bookmark. Although they all fit nicely in paperback books however, certain books are longer than others and may require for a slightly longer centre, so therefore I would like to point out here that I do make them longer to satisfy each customer. Some would ask for centres that measures from 10 inches, to 12 inches and even up to 14 inches long. It is all up to each customer's needs. I will make them according to their liking. :) No worries!

Problems in connecting......

Dear all......I know I have been neglecting my blog a bit lately....but that's because I have been experiencing some connection problem at home. Oh yes.....it's the cable theft again! It's been twice over here at my neighbourhood and it is such a huge problem for me especially since I am in the online business. However, things are being done to fix this problem and I do hope it will be resolved soon. Please be patient and I will update again here when everything is back to normal. Thank you again for your kind understanding! :)

As shown in the photos here, all you have to do when using this doubled ribbon beaded bookmark is to separate it to slip one outside of the cover and one inside the saved pages.

BB011b

For fans of blue colours....this might be the bookmark for you! :) The original design I did earlier was a bit different than the new one I made today. For BB011, it has dark blue seed beads in the bead arrangements and the ends of the bookmark were not done in a similar arrangement too. So, after giving a lot of thought in the design, I've decided that it should not have any dark blue seed bead in it because somehow it doesn't make the bookmark look soft and sweet. I wanted it too have cool, soft colours on it. It is handmade and has a mixture of soft blue, clear blue and clear silver seed beads with some decorative beads to match.The bookmark is based on a nylon string and is suitable for almost any book size. The whole length of the bookmark is about 14 inches long and the measurement for the center area is about 10 inches long.

This design is handmade with soft peach, clear yellow and soft purple seed beads with some decorative beads to match. The bookmark is based on a nylon string and is suitable for almost any book size. The whole length of the bookmark is about 14 inches long and the measurement for the center area is about 10 inches long.

This sweet soft pastel colour combination is definitely a favourite amongst my customers because of the heart shape beads in it. The pearl like colour and texture are close to their hearts :). The first one I did of this design has many heart shape beads on it....6 of them....but due to the current situation, I am not able to make the bookmark with the same amount of heart shape beads on it anymore. Even the colours depends on stock availability. So I had to improvise and use what is available in stores. I find that it is quite an adventure to search for new beads or even for the ones that I have seen before....it is really quite thrilling to go on a search for them. This new venture of mine has taken a step further and has taken me places I never thought I would visit. I am definitely learning more and more each day and improving my skills as much as I can to give the best for my customers. The joy I see in their eyes when they purchase my art work is definitely rewarding for me. Nothing can compete to that! :)

Orange and cream colour beads.....

The ends of the bookmark in detail

BB027 (SOLD OUT)

This design is handmade with shiny orange, clear orange and shiny cream seed beads with some decorative beads to match. The bookmark is based on a nylon string and is suitable for almost any book size. The whole length of the bookmark is almost 15 inches long and the measurement for the center area is about 10 inches long.

I have combined two colours that suits each other very well.....orange and cream....for those who love orange and bright colours, this design would be the one for you. :) The arrangement of beads in this design itself is very simple....nothing too fancy or complicated....I tried to repeat the arrangements of beads on both ends to form a design.

Apple green + dark pink + white colour beads....

BB028

This design is handmade with shiny apple green, opaque white, shiny dark pink and clear rose seed beads with decorative beads to match. The bookmark is based on a nylon string and is suitable for almost any book size. The whole length of the bookmark is about 14 inches long and the measurement for the center area is about 10 inches long.

I had an idea to do this design last night, way late last night around 12 midnight hehehe.....I guess that's the time when all the ideas comes pouring in. I have done an apple green and dark pink combination beaded bookmark before....but this one, especially for the full beaded type has added opaque white seed beads on it. I especially love the big beads at the end of the beaded bookmark....the clear apple green colour with a white round shape on the inside just looks so pretty hehehe! I wanted to use glass beads for this design like the one I have done before for BB022, but as usual the beads are out of stock, so I had to find some other beads that would match....I can't really say that the other design is better than this one as all the designs are special in their own way....lol :)

White + Soft blue + Soft pink colour beads.....

BB024 (SOLD OUT)
Sorry everyone, this design is all sold out at the moment. Please check out the remake of this design below that is available for orders, thanks! :)

BB024b

This design is handmade with soft blue, soft pink, clear silver and opaque white seed beads with decorative beads to match. The bookmark is based on a nylon string and is suitable for almost any book size. The whole length of the bookmark is almost 15 inches long and the measurement for the center area is about 10 inches long.

This is a remake of my BB024 design. The design had heart shape beads on each end of the beaded bookmark. Unfortunately since the beads are out of stock, and could not be found in any other bead store, I had to replace them with this sweet tear drop shape soft pink pearl color beads. It looks really sweet and compliments the design quite well. I love the new look! :)

A new blog....

I am starting on a new blog today that is more focused on beads and anything that I can imagine I could make using this lovely material. I have always been in love with beads for as long as I can remember, but only since last year that I really went deeper into the world of beads. Much thanks to my friend who lives far away in US who has given me so much knowledge of about them and got me addicted and obsessed with it :) . I will of course be posting all of my previous collections of bead work that I have done so far this year in this blog. I have been posting most of my bead collections in my other blog and I do find that it is no longer suitable to do so as it is a blog for handmade greeting cards and I do not wish to mix the two in one blog. Hence this blog is created today....I am so excited to see how this blog will soon become and progress. Wish me luck! :)
