On My Convocation

immediately, a day after our Quilling Get-Together, is my Convocation ceremony. i arrive home almost midnight and what comes to my mind is only, i have to make some quilling things for friends. since i started quilling, they are the the most important people that keep me strong and help me in many ways. they also always ask for simple quilling items, but i always refuse to do it. lazy me. heheh :P most importantly, they keep reminding me of my dream, which is having my own papercraft shop so that i will never gave up whenever life gets harder. really, even at this stage, the journey is still looooong way to go! huhu

so here they are; when everybody have fall asleep, i sacrifice my eyes and hands to make a simple bookmark of white-orange scroll. usually it's red right? but since our faculty is determined by orange colour of hood, so i decided to make it the same theme.



can you see my orange hood there! :D

if you notice, lately my bookmark has some modification in ribbon's hole. i try using eyelet, and it turns out really smart, ain't they? ;)


i sleep at 4:00am in the morning. and wake up at 6:00am. so sleepy. thank God i didn't fall at stage! :P

footnote: if you wish to see more pictures on my convocation, here's the link ;)

I love the way you make the scroll by gluing quilled circles together like that! What a wonderful idea! It's so cute and straight to the point! Love it!

thank you kak lin! ^^ oh about the eyelet, i bought both puncher and eyelet at the art friend, the gardens. one set worth RM35 {a puncher and 100pcs eyelet} previously i bought a very cheap one but it turn really bad. but this one is great. no need to use much effort to press the eyelet ;) puncher tu kaler merah kat pemegang dia ^^

I really like the bookmarks. The scrolls are perfect. The addition of the eyelets is perfect. I've been wanting to buy an eyelet setter but never seem to get around to it. I think they give the project a wonderful finished look
