a rainbow of macarons happiness

August 4, 2010

as you might’ve noticed, i love macarons! :) they’re so cute and pretty, but i don’t really eat lots. one of these delightful dessert is enough to satisfy the palette of anyone who has a sweet tooth. ;) i enjoy pairing it with a strong cup of aromatic tea to balance it out. :)

after my first spontaneous try on making my first set of these cute dessert, and again for this artshow piece, followed by the bridesmaids’ gift bag custom orders, i’m really loving my little needlefelted macarons. :) so, i made this set of assorted flavors as a surprise birthday gift for a dear friend. :) hehe, a little rainbow of happiness goes a long way! :) these are in strawberry, green tea, lemon, orange, chocolate, raspberry, blueberry, and lavender flavors. ^^ which flavor(s) do you like? :) xoxo!

color palettes and paint brush plushies

December 9, 2009

i made these for the “no more monkeys jumping on the bed” plush & paint group show currently showing at monkeyhouse toys & art gallery in silver lake, los angeles. please come by if you are in the area. there are tons of awesome pieces in the show. :) and as some of you know, monkeyhouse toys & art gallery will be closing their retail space after this month. i’m really sad to hear. please continue to support them via their webstore. they will always have a special place in my heart. the monkey on my plush palette is the logo for monkeyhouse. the idea behind this piece is that even after monkeyhouse closes its retail door, they will still live on forever through joyful rainbows of their love for the art. and of course, as in all my pieces, there’s always that red or pink heart somewhere. ^^ i especially love the little paint brush. :) if you’re interested in my piece, please contact info@monkeyhousetoys.com, thanks. :)

bridemaids macarons

November 27, 2009

i love french macarons very much, and a recent photo i took/styled inspired me to try my hands on making some needlefelt macarons. it was for this custom project that got me sitting down one late night/early morning and tried making my first piece. i was utterly happy that it came out pretty yummy, so i started making a box of them as part of my custom. though each macaron took 40-50mins to make, it was so much fun working on them (despite some bleeding from the careless needle-poking :p)! :) the second photo below shows the macarons in green tea, strawberry, lavender, mocha, and lemon flavors.

recently, i was commissioned a custom order of my needlefelt macarons by a bride-to-be as part of lovely things she included in the bridesmaids gift bags. words can’t express how happy i am whenever someone enjoy and appreciate my little crafts/amateur art pieces. (thank you so much!!! and i’m really honored to have contributed in a small way to your special day!!)

if you’re interested to commission me custom orders for these needlefelted macarons, please contact me with the details (date you need them for, the occasion, any special flavors you prefer, quantity, etc.) when enquiring, please bear in mind that i don’t use patterns, so every piece won’t be in the same size, that each needlefelt macaron takes almost an hour to make, and that i’m not a full-time crafter. ;) thanks and have a wonderful weekend! xoxo! :)
