Greetings from my earlobe.
heehee. That's an owl earring that my grandmother gave me, cute hur!
Everytime I leave my grandparents' house, my conscience nags. like when will I be back there to visit them again, will I EVER go there on my own accord, am I doing all I can in reciprocation of all the love they've showered on me? (for the last, it's sadly a firm no.) such heavy guilt of a lousy granddaughter. :(
My CNY dress!
Camera angles deceive your eyes.
Speaking of that, I suffered the brunt of a mean attack that I never saw coming. Totally spoilt the day for me, thanks a lot. (Just one incident like this makes me see you in an entirely different light)
Oh, and Valentine's Day is coming.
cupcake charms.
Wedding cake.
Well, I kinda made all of these on a whim, but I feel they're very made for V-day. haha.
You know how everyone's getting flowers and the prices are hiked up so much it's outrageous? And you walk down that street proudly waving your precious bouquet, and before you can say happy-valentine's, three more girls have walked past you with uncannily similar bouquets. Personally I'll much rather spend the cash on something that's one of a kind, and that I can truly customise to my liking. Well, here's a proposition - fully customisable clay accessories!
Well, these clay pieces are pretty, but what can I do with them?
All of these clay pieces you see above, can be made into necklace/bracelet charms, or earrings, or keychains/handphone chains. Bigger clay pieces could be made into fancy magnets or paper clips.
So, what other designs are there?
I'll be more than happy to work on YOUR ideas, and customise something for you. Like having me write a name/message on the cake, or making human figurines instead, or your girlfriend's favourite item, etc etc. Anything can be worked out. :)
Items that I've produced are - cupcakes, cakes, human figurines, bears, flowers, biscuits, mini replicas of food items like Mcdonalds' Fillet Burger, Oreos etc.
Hmm, but will the clay be damaged after time?
The clay I use is korean-produced jumping clay, and like the name suggests, they really bounce even if you accidentally drop them, and they won't scratch or shatter, and colour remain vibrant and unchanged forever. Also, they're awesomely light, which makes it ideal for necklace/bracelet charms, earrings/magnets/paperclips. AND, this clay is sweetly scented, which is a huge plus.
Right. Now the all-important issue, what are the prices like?
Prices are not fixed, as it depends on the amount of clay used and detail of piece.
But for a cupcake charm (height: 1.5cm, width: 1.5cm) seen in the first photo, it'll be $2.
The wedding cake (height: 3.5cm, width: 2.5cm) will be $5, because it's a lot more detailed and requires more clay, time and effort. :)
These prices are for solely the clay pieces, and does not include accessories such as necklaces/earrings/bracelets (I could quote you a price if you'll like one to accompany the clay piece). There will be no additional charges for magnets and paper clips.
Rest assured, I will quote you a price after mutual agreement on the final design, and you can decide if you want to go ahead with the deal. :)
How long do I have to wait before I can collect my item?
Usually, from the day the design is finalised to the day of collection, it will be from 1 day to no longer than 1 week.
However, for extremely large ( above 5cm in height/width)/extremely detailed items or orders of multiple items, I will inform you about the time I would require to complete the order/s, and you can decide whether to go through with the deal.
However, I will specially process all orders for Valentine's Day first before all other orders.
The tagboard is so darn small! Other forms of contacts please!
Do email me at joce_1987@hotmail.com, and I'll reply to all requests or questions in 3 days latest! :) Also, you could scroll through my entries for photos of my other clay pieces!
When do I pay, and how will I receive my purchase?
There are a number of ways we can do this.
Or we can meet-up, and we'll do the good ol' fashioned money-for-product way. I'll hand over the item and you'll pay only if you're satisfied with the finished product. :)
B. Meet up at an MRT station - only west(EW27-EW21)/central(EW15-EW11). For stations besides west/central, purchase will have to be above $10, or a transportation cost of $1 will have to be added to the final cost.
C. Meet up at National University of Singapore.
D. Alternatively, do inform me of the possible locations of collection and I will try my best to compromise.
Of course, this can be for any other occasion besides V-day, or even if you just really want to own a totally quirky item you can totally call your own! So feel free to contact me for purchases or queries after 14th February. :)
As I said, anything can be worked out, and don't fret. I'm totally okay even if you decide not to purchase anything in the end. Promise. :)

There are a number of ways we can do this.
A. Pay through account transfer and I will deliver your order to an address by post. (though this is not advisable as the piece could be damaged with the rough n tumble)
This will be subject to postal charges, which will be added on to the total cost.
