Cassettee

So long.... for a while....

2009-07-09T23:56:00.002+08:00

I guess, I'll have to stop designing new stuff for a while.... to be exact, 4 months, from now on...

Will share with you all later why am I stop designing, and perhaps stop producing too. I just can't manage....

Thank you so much for all the love and support all these while, cassettee will be back very soon.

Luv,
Cass

When I was just a little girl...

Looking at the children toys that have been abundant for long, I've decided to reuse them and make something out of it...
Tadda... this is what I've done!

No worries on the cleanliness of the block, it is cleaned before it's being transformed into this brooch :)

p/s: again, these are very very limited edition... cause I don't have any more of these 'mega blocks' to work on...

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

2009-05-04T23:57:00.014+08:00

Harllo... I'm back from the Wonderful Market!! Met lots of Wonderful people, saw many Wonderful designer stuff, and being surprised by my Wonderful friends who actually came and support (especially Looi & hubby came all the way from Johor, though I know you're just "passing by KL, hahaha, but I really appreciate it!), and I had a Wonderful day!! ... tired though... hehehe...

Here are some pictures to share...

Early in the morning, just finished setting up...

Old friend, Jeans, posting behind bibichun's work. I just realized that she looks like the girl in the frame....?!

Jeans 1st time in an art bazaar with me. 1 of her handmade necklace. I like the pink one!
I'm glad that she's there to accompany me, really makes a difference of being alone manning a booth. Thanks babe!

Beau came visit. As usual, what you see now is what we normally will do... hahaha...

cassettee + rasa sayang + bibichun + Jeans with a bunch of lovely 'Angels' just came back from the Beautiful Gate camp visiting our booth. Appreciated so much thay they actually came :)

Our neighbour Big Mouth Woman and Uri crafts, nice and detail works they made.

Dear Bear 3. Cute stuff! The designer looks very cute too ^.^

Tata! The famous Ms Tako a.k.a Evan, or she's known as Evangelione. I superrrrr love her miniature creations! Her details on the handmade work is just unbelievable. Hehe, I've order a brooch from her... can't wait for it to arrive :)

Here comes Miss Irene! Her creations are very pretty, mostly quite girlish. I bet ladies out there sure will love them!

What you can find here is colourful stuff! The WBL stall

mimifanfan & buddies

Liyana and her many little small creations

Beautiful star shape paper light shades from Likedeco

Birthday presents

2009-04-23T16:18:00.003+08:00

2 special requests from Eunice.
This order was placed more than a month ago... there's another 'request', suggesting me to post these special request baggies blog post later in the end of April :) reason was just in case her friends bump into cassettee's blog, and there's no more surprises, haha!
Today is 23rd, hope that it isn't an over-early post ya!

One is obviously the Boo-ka-dot in purple. The small one is from the concept of the lomo cases, but I was given a picture of the Olympus Trip 35.

And this is how they look like :)

Happy Birthday to Eunice's friends!

Recycle your plastic bags!!!

2009-04-11T13:39:00.004+08:00

This is absolutely a great idea of recycling plastic bags! and no more headache on searching for nice printed fabric for baggies! Hehehehe... I love it!

Here's the video from Etsy How-to:

Thanks Etsy! This is definitely a SWEET one!

There are some workshops going on in Annexe Gallery, and one of them is Fusing plastic bags! Here's some information:

So Greeeeen - KL Design Week

2009-04-07T00:12:00.005+08:00

We were quite late that day. After some exciting, nervous, miserable moments, finally I was there with Beau in Capsquare.
Besides the creative Secret Tents, I think the 'green' concept was so cool!

Please peeps, SAY NO TO PLASTIC BAGS!

Check out some pictures here:

Keyboard keys cube

Very elaborate clay 'beads' by Gigi Gee. Love them!

Boxy Bat

Made up with.... newspapers!!

Haha, something cute.

Hand knitted decorative items by Lucas Chay.

See, Beauty was so happy with the hand knitted bag.

The Secret Tent. Look at those 'trees' and canvas bags!

Say no to plastic bags

Diamond is a girl's best friend?

2009-03-01T23:50:00.005+08:00

' diamond' + wrinkle = cassettee's recent creation?
Hahaha... tried something new. My mom was telling me this doesn't work cause the little 'diamonds' are just too much (as in heavy) for the tee.

Well, this is what I've created :) Hope you gals like it!

Fieewww.... what a weekend @ the YOUTH '09

2009-01-12T22:06:00.011+08:00

A very tiring weekend!! But the response to our handmade items was great! 'Record breaking' I would say, hahaha... (although I've lost 2 brooches... some sticky fingers around, GGggrrrr...)

This year was quite purely show casing and selling. Yet, we still enjoyed ourselves very much! Hehe, I've tried something new like wall climbing at the Rakan Muda booth. Ling took some pix of me, hahaha, but I'm not gonna post it here... friends do check out my FaceBook ;P

Below are some pictures taken - cool art pieces and artisans!

Ling & I @ the YOUTH '09 Red Carpet! :)

Karya's booth! Pretty cool right? Very creative!

Tea set, simple and lovely.

The Nipon, G-Shock and Rakan Muda Graffiti painting by local artists.

Our mini booth.

Hand painted canvas shoes by Boonga!

Plushies for your love ones? Further details please contact Ms So @ gkoon_so@hotmail.com

It was jam packed at the creative lane! Especially on Saturday.

Ling with the purse that I specially made for her. She's going to New Zealand very soon. Who's gonna be with me on the next bazaar? ... *sob*sob* :(

The Plasterdoll! Nicely designed prints with this character "Plasterdoll". You will find her wearing the hip and trendy international branded outfit or accessories like Tommy Hilfiger!

Everything is Miao~~ cat paintings by Jaja.

This is what I call: Lomo ME, Lomo U :)
Bought myself a Lomolitography camera! hahaha... pretty much like a toy with filter colour flash... It is actually a one-time-use camera but some how you can still reload film and reuse. Still exploring tho, coz the flash just doesn't work ; only work once... then never flash again :(

Non Sakura

2009-01-02T00:12:00.004+08:00

Bought 2 Japanese fabrics earlier. What attracts me was the gold on the fabric.
They are too beautiful, I cannot decide what to do with them. It will be nice to use them to make the small purse, but the fabric alone is too soft to be in shape. Hence, I decided to do Meream's rosette again ;p, and uses quite a lot of the sewing machine on the design (including the Boo-ka-dat and also some few up coming designs)
The rosette is detachable.

Boo-ka-dot, designed for Felvin

2009-01-01T23:22:00.007+08:00

Ta-daaa... my very own "boo-ka-dot" (hmmm... I don't know what to call it...), specially designed for Felvin to goes with one of her dress. I'm not sure if this works cause she haven't seen it yet.
Hope she likes it.

Boo-ka-dot can be in other colours. Ladies out there who are interested please contact me for details.

The ups and downs

2008-12-13T12:17:00.005+08:00

Good to know that you've made others happy... and most importantly you felt better then.
Here's how he did it... :)

Life is full with Ups n Downs.

Let us smile to the Ups & smile to the Downs...

Special Birthday order from Dale

2008-12-09T22:09:00.003+08:00

Old friend Dale called.
Wanted to have his friends' name sewed on some tees he bought for their birthday.
Quite rush man, tees given today... hehe, tomorrow night is the celebration huh~

No worries friend, tees done.

2008-12-09T21:47:00.007+08:00

I thought cassettee's dead... :(
I've not been producing and designing since... hmm... 2 months ago?

1 day something strikes me. And I've wanted so much to try doing the rosette Meream was teaching in her blog tutorial.
That is how this baggie was made (with detachable rosette).

Thanks Meream :)

sleeplessness

2008-10-05T01:55:00.003+08:00

好像好久没有试过睡不着了，这两个月来，不够时间睡就有……
最近满脑子都是‘不三不四’的念头，完全不明白自己想怎样。好希望下一秒就有一个大改变。
其实我也想了很久，是不是应该在这blog里share我自己真正的 "sweet & sour"。后来还是觉得，这是我的空间，读者是我的朋友……大多是没有见过面的朋友。但可能就是没有见过面，读了更是无所谓，茶余饭后……

我有很多个下一秒，我要有很多个大改变！

……嘀…哒…嘀…哒…嘀…哒……还是copeland在唱歌……02.46。

Cassettee也KUSO咯！

2008-09-21T23:57:00.004+08:00

阳光的阿晨与秋月！谢谢，那短短的45分钟，我聊得很开心。

p/s: 嘻嘻，不止4700哦，那一天是破750点击率！！

续上一回NTV7 Breakfast Show* 之后，又好一次on-air的经验啊！为cassettee感到非常高兴。
很谢谢听众的留言，我都看到了…最重要是感受到了，无形中给我更大的鼓励前进。
我相信外面一定有很多和我一样，有着自己的兴趣以及想要追梦的朋友。请不要放弃，是自己喜欢的，不伤害别人的，一定要坚持做下去！

大家一起加油！

*其实那一段是为Art for grabs 的。我都没时间post。会做一点剪接，然后post上来让大家看看我的"oink"脸，哈哈哈！

The Merdeka Bazaar @ Annexe

2008-09-04T21:54:00.005+08:00

It's another weekend at Annexe... Some pictures to share.
For those who are interested on the plushies, feel free to contact So @ gkoon_so@hotmail.com
She's the one making the cute cute plushies! :)

I bet you will not know what are these. These are called the Roller-Coasters! a.k.a coasters with rollers.
They are really really cool... I like them so much especially the Oink Oink Manuscript!
Fabian Tan, the creator of these Roller-Coasters.

Guess these are from who?? Hahaha... hope you guys can still read it from the picture.

Nice "scenery" right opposite my stall.

My special edition of "Boring Game" made in the bazaar. It was sold to Mei Cher as a present for Eunice, who actually bought her a lomo case from cassettee.

What happened in bazaar as usual....

Nice place to chill out - The Merdeka cafe.
To ex-guitar club mate: Isn't this what we're looking at for the 10 yrs concert?!

What you can see is only this >>>> Friendship!
The one who's holding the Lomo is Mei Cher, and the one next to her with spec is Eunice. (sorry to other 2 girls & handsome, don't really know your names... but you guys are really cool!)
Thank you so much for buying cassettee and I'm so glad that I've got to know you all!
Thanks Mei Cher for my 1st Lomo picture! (I'm still expecting the pic from u, hahahaha)
The moment I saw how Eunice surprise you with the Lomo case and you quietly buying Eunice "the boring game" tee just touched me so much... I don't know how to describe...

I love you all!

Once again, thank you for dropping by at my stall and all the supports & compliments given!
