Sketchin’ a doodlin’

I jailbreaked my Iphone before and after upgrading it to iOS 5.1, I’ve decided to not jailbreak my phone because it’s just too much hassle. That means, all my sketching app, which I have previously downloaded from Hackulous is gone!

After much testing with different apps, I finally found one that I am happy with.

MyBrushes app is a wonderful app. To begin with, they have SO many different types of brushes for you to use. Hard strokes, soft strokes, paint brushes, calligraphy pens, pencils, crayons; you name it, you got it!

Of course, drawing on the Iphone is really something. First of all, the screen size is pretty small, compared to the Ipad but it’s great especially when you want to doodle or draw something while waiting for someone or something.

 

I also recently bought a stylus so that helped quite a bit when I am sketching on the Iphone.

So what have I got to show after 2 hours of sketching?

One Rosco and one Darth Vader. I must say, I am pretty happy with it! :)

So far, this app is getting a 4/5 review from me.

Latest projects

Here are my latest projects, centered around bunnies since it’s near Easter. :)

This was done for a good friend who is currently expecting a little dragon girl. She loves rabbits so requested for one to be made. Everything here is handmade, no molds are used.

 

Rabbit memoholders


This little cutie is just right for Easter!

This is going on sale for RM30 inclusive shipping! Comes in a box so it’s perfect as a gift. :)

Path

Let’s face it, when it comes to journaling your life whether its online or in a physical book, many of us suck at it. I created this blog in 2004, moved it, changed the name and changed designs so many times but I don’t journal enough to keep enough memories or moments meaningful in my life.

I thought, someone out there has got to have some app some where that will help me journal on my iphone, lets me capture photos whenever, sets my mood, reminds me of what musics I have heard, people I am with and tracking my *cough*running*cough* progress.

I did not have to search high and low on the app store because I found Path almost immediately. Launched in 2010 (I think), Path did not get enough users to be the next big thing. Apparently there were some privacy issues with your address book being loaded up to their  servers. Many made complains. The co-founder/CEO has then apologised and recently, they have launched Path 2, much MUCH beautiful than the original Path. They also promised better privacy. :)

In Path, I can choose to add new friends to my feeds but I refuse to because I wanted to keep this as a personal journal.

So far, I am loving it and have been busy journaling whenever I can. It is filled with things that I previously thought I could trust my fuzzy memory with.

Now I only hope that they allow you to see your journal online as well. Then it would be splendid. :)

**and no, this is not a paid ad.  :)**

Preparing

This personal struggle to stop (or rather drink less) coffee is definitely failing.

I tell myself that I shall not have a cup of coffee and everyday, I make myself a cup, telling myself if I don’t I won’t get through the day.

How lah?! Fail.

So today, in another effort to curb my caffeine drinking habits, I made hot milo. Should get me through the day. :)

The sticky post

Well, I hardly ever do the ‘sticky’ post. But then, when you want people to actually remember what you want them to remember, the sticky post will have to some sooner or later.

So my first sticky post? Self promotion of course! :)

If you haven’t seen the gorgeous Facebook page of TeresalingCreates and Teresaling Photography, then you’ve got to go see them.

Teresaling Photography

I’ve always have a passion for photo taking and I love capturing memories but I am pretty bad at printing them and keeping them in an album. But that’s for another day. :P

However happy I am taking photos, we have decided to cut down our photo taking to only engagements, casual shoots, half day events and birthdays. I love weddings. I really do. But taking photos for a full fledged wedding is very tiring especially when we still work our 9-5 jobs. It’s not just taking the photos, the editing can sometimes take time too.

If you like our work, be sure to “like” us and share our page! Nothing like good sharing. :) We work with tight budget customers/couples so give us a buzz and we’ll work something out. The Facebook live feed is on your right. –>

 

TeresalingCreates

This is a new venture! I’ve recently dabbled with polymer clay and I loved it so much. When I was young, I often played with plasticine and this is no different. The only difference is that I get to bake polymer clay to harden it so that I can keep my creations. 

I am starting to take custom orders so give me a buzz if you would like me to create something for you. I am currently working on my first custom order and I am really excited to see how it’s turning out! Although I do ship the figurines, I would highly prefer it if you can do a self collection. I don’t have full faith in our local post office so it would really be disappointing if your figurines break in the process of getting to you. Of course, I will do my best to protect them but sometimes, the unavoidable happens. Feel free to browse the Facebook Page for latest designs and updates!

Happy browsin’! :)

What’s up?

It’s been a long time since my last post. The reason is…..I’ve screwed up. The blog that is.

I installed a buggy plugin and that in turn screwed up the rest and the blog has been off air ever since then.

Whats up? Well, if you don’t know, I’ve created a FB page for my little clay creations. Head on to facebook.com/teresalingcreates.

Lately, I have been going around town and the websphere looking for packaging that will be good and sturdy to protect my figurines when I send them out for shipping. It’s a little bit scary and overwhelming to think I am going to embark myself on such adventure but it’s in a good way. :)

I’ve just finished the Musician figurine last night and baked it till it is rock solid.

This is the first time I made something so complicated. The stool, the guitar (which I admit, doesn’t look a lot like a guitar!) and the bangs. Getting her to sit on the stool was a big challenge cause she just wouldn’t sit properly. I finally dumped a whole lot of TLS so I can get her butt firmly placed on the stool! :)

This was made with a combination of clay like Fimo, Sculpey and Monsterkraft. I love sculpey premo clays! They are the best when conditioning and baking!

I am not sure what to do with this one, so if anyone wants to buy this, please give me a buzz!

I am going to get a whole lot of boxes this weekend so I will most likely start selling my stuff soon. YAY!

2012: Project Life

I suck at keeping hard copies of memories. I love flipping through albums of photos but I have not done anything that will make me appreciate what a great life I have.

Lets face it, it’s so easy to take photos, look at them on the computer, make some edits, organise them in folders in your computer and then just forget about it. Slowly, you’ll tend to forget about those photos and then when your computer crashes or laptops get stolen, you have nothing left! No more photographic memories.

So…that’s what happened to me in 2010. My house was broken into and my laptop was stolen. I can’t, for the life of me, remember what photos I have in there. All I remembered was that I backed up most of it, but what else is left?

 

Paislee Press: Project Life

And then I was reading on Paislee Press about Project Life and I loved how beautiful it is to document something on hard copy the way Project Life does. I love scrapbooking but I just never have the time for it. So Project Life might be the best way for me to get it done the way I want it to be without spending too much time cutting and pasting. Becky Higgins is the lady behind Project Life and has all you need to get started. But wait, you have to get this shipped internationally? Gosh, how much would shipping cost!!

 

Becky Higgins: Project Life

Cue Scrap-n-crop. Malaysia’s online scrapbooking store. Scrap-n-crop has an amazing range of imported goods to help you get started on Project Life. You can find the same Craft Cloth ring albums and inserts that Paislee Press uses. I like how there is a variety pack so you have different kinds of inserts in your album so you can be as creative as you can!

And so, my New Years resolution is to get started on Project Life. I am ready to document it on hard copy so that I will have that same joy I have when I flip through my old photographs.

p/s: I also suck at keeping resolutions but I really hope that this sticks. :)
