Yet Another Quirky Project

Have u seen the latest Comfort Fabric Deodorant advert on TV? So vibrantly colourful, right? Itx a digital animation on a city of plushies. Well, turns out the Singapore-based designer of the advertising company, Ogilvy & Martha, prefers the real deal & contacted me to help make some props for their static adverts ;) It sure has been a fun-filled collaboration. The end product made us laugh so much too! :D Check these out....

This is my personal favourite! The green apple core & fish bone made me laugh so hard! Kawaii ne! Hahaha...! :D

So will u think of me when u next see these adverts?? :P

Understanding Our Work of Heart

Came across this very cool animation from my good friend, Jullie's, blog. Share with you here so those who don't knit/crochet have a better understanding of what goes on "behind the scene" & the effort we crafters put in :) Usually take me at least 3-5hrs (non-stop) to make 1 amigurumi, sometimes even longer for those complicated ones. Hmm... so it must've taken this animator at least a few days to make this! BRAVO! Enjoy! ;)

Another Quirky Project

Michelle sure is one ambitious & motivated new Funky Knitter. Inspired by her diving hobby & her eyes for little sea creatures at the mysterious sea bed, she insisted on knitting this nudibranch for her very first project! Well, it definitely had been very tough for a beginner, but hey, we did it! Congratulations, Michelle! Yay...!!! :)

"Dear Betsy,

Thanks for your patience, help & wonderful company to inspire me to complete this difficult project! :)" xxx Michelle, 15th August 2009

Now Michelle is "going back to the basics" & gonna start knitting a cardigan. Well, Michelle, I'm sure u'll find this one so much easier! :P

Catching Up on Orders

Past 2 weeks have been just catching up on orders & preparing for monthly MAAD. Just realized that I have been taking photos of all the orders I made, but have failed to post them all up here on my blog :P "Then take for what???" A Knotty Fan asked me this morning :P hehe... here are only some of the orders that I've been making for the past 2 weeks... :)

Knotty Booties & Beanie Set have been our Knotty Fans' all-time-favourite. The 1st is for a baby shower gift, the 2nd is just to add on to a lucky little princess' wardrobe... :)

This pair is definitely a cutie, customized with a ringing bell... :)

Some coasters...

Cardholders...

Shawl...

This is the most bizarre orders I've ever had so far! Di of Parentlink (a Doula* based in Singapore) first requested for a knitted uterus (Nope, u did not read wrongly nor misunderstood me... it was indeed a uterus that Di had asked me to knit! But forgot to take photo of my knitted uterus :( *boohoo*) last month, then she ordered placenta with umbilical cord! These are all props for her classes. Check out her website :)

*A Doula is a person, usually a woman, who is professionally trained to assist a woman during childbirth and who may provide support to the family after the baby is born.

Well now, I'm preparing for this weekend's Singapore Arts Street & working on a knitted sculpture, which I hope to submit to a small sculpture show :) Will keep u posted if I do get in to the show! Wish me luck ;P
