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! :)

Peach satin ribbon with pink and white beads....

You could either use it the conventional way, which is to place the center of the bookmark in between the pages as you can see from the photos above.....OR use it as shown in photos below...

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. Then you slide the big pink decorative bead up to tighten it all up! So, the bookmark won't slip off the book. Cool huh? :)

BB011 (SOLD OUT)
Sorry everyone, this design is all sold out at the moment. Please check out below the new design, BB011b that is available for orders, thanks! :)

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.

BB009 (SOLD OUT)
Sorry people, this design is all sold out at the moment. Please view below a remake of this design that is available for orders, thanks! :)

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 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....

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 :)
