Hues of blue.

I don't like the fact that I missed this wedding. :( But I love everything about these.

It's a close cousin's wedding, and since I couldn't be there physically, I sent these to represent me lol. It's just a little something I loved to do, and a little something that is needed in the wedding.

My aunty wanted something plain and simple, without too much of exaggerated design on the boxes for the high table favours. So I made 10 of these:

Yes, the design looks simple, and yet cutting and gluing each paper together took me few sleepless nights and 100 of many different kinds of blue quilling strips. I'm loving the gorgeous off-white textured paper (found them on shelves in a stationery shop) and decided to wrap the box with it.

Shahir and Murni, congratulations on your wedding. Sorry we couldn't make it, but we're there in souls. :)

Purple Plait

I've tonnes of fun making these. I like the fact that they are so simple in design, and yet the simplicity is what makes them stand out. This is definitely one design I won't get tired of making. :)

I've used purple before, but only limit them to pastel colours.This marks my first time of combining purple and black, and those are really some joyful colours to combine!

I love making sets of these repetitive patterns for Nabila. Thought I should add more to the collection - pencils, pens, tags, notebooks etc so it could be one giant hand-made stationery set hehe.

Oh well, there's always next time, not?

The 2 yellowish brown bookmarks are definitely my favourite too - from the colour combination to the fact that it looks more like woodcarving than paper quilling haha. Should. make. more. of. these. :)

Quilled Lettering

My very first quilled lettering. :)

There are some who are into simple cards, and there are also some who just love exaggerated, grandeur card.

This card alone took me almost 5 times the amount of time I made for other cards.It takes up a lot of time, a lot of processes and a lot of hard work. and sweat haha.

But as usual, I had fun. So that's all it matters. :P

I know there are still a lot of things to improve on, but this is definitely a start.

It speaks a thousand words.

It's an experimental work on colour combination on repetitive quilling patterns. The 20-page photo album was on sale, so how could I not buy them?!

At first I thought this looks a bit unfinished, but I was too lazy to add on more quilling on the cover, so I finally decided to just let it be. It's already too crowded being like that it almost wash out the beautiful quills.

But after a while, I thought I loved it just the way it is. It's the effort that counts, right?

At the very least, I had lotsa fun doing it. The gluing part was a bit tricky, since it takes a while for the glue to dry (on such paper), so extra precautions had to be made. But now, I simply can't wait to start on another album - and this time, it's going to be blue!

Travelling light

Sorry, I'm so into the travelling mode right now. So here goes hehe:

Would this be enough for two weeks?

No, it's not. But these were the only items that I managed to repack haha.

(That's my favourite orange-flavour shampoo, so-called antibacterial shower gel and fragrant-free mosturizer)

Miyyah@Kertas is finally on Facebook!

I've been contemplating whether I should have a separate Miyyah@Kertas page on Facebook for quite a while. And I finally made the decision to have my Miyyah@Kertas page so it would cater to the rest of the facebook populations (read: my listed friends) who didn't read this blog. Ha. ha.

Come and join in the fun at Miyyah@Kertas facebook page ya!



I've already added some pictures, and planning to add some more. You can check the Quilling Art section, where I have the collection of some quilling artworks that I've previously done. You can also browse the notes section, for previous blog entries feeds. Coming soon:  a Sneak Peak section, where I plan to upload several in progress projects, that are yet to be posted on this blog. So if you're a fan, then you'll have the privilege of viewing my new projects/ in progress works. Exclusively.
