Happy Birthday Singapore!

Singapore is 46th years old this year, even though it's a public holiday I still gotta go back to work!
My new work place is a club for members, so on special occassions like this we have carnivals for members to celebrate and enjoy.

I am in charge of a booth called the Lollipop Tree, some of these lollipops has a different colour markings at the tip of the stick, whoever is lucky gets a prize for the lollipop with coloured sticks.

We have so much fun yesterday, we have Spin the Wheel, Bouncy Castle, Fishing, Bowling, Magic Show, Bean Bag Toss and Stage Performances.

New certificate design ^.^

Humphrey the little hedgehog is on his way to Canada today. I have made him the first Wayneston Bears "Certificate of Authenticity"! This is a new item that I will be adding as part of the packagaing for all creations. It's consists of 3 pieces of documents: 1) Name of creation with his/her photograph 2) Details and specifications of the creation 3) My artist profile.

I am a bear collector too, I bought several pieces of bears from different artists. I love the different ways of each individual artists present their creations, from the box, wrapping paper, gifts to packaging. I am still learning to make my presentation special, as times goes I can see improvements to my creations, website and packaging.

*P.S photos taken at night with my Iphone :x



Suede Label
Tonight, I have done needle felting to a Monkey's face! He is almost complete, can't wait to share with you his pictures soon ^.^

New squirrel Herbie ^.^

I have a new squirrel this week to share with everyone! He is so soft and cute, I really love him a lot and enjoy making him ^.^


 

I am getting more and more attached to making squirrels nowadays, squirrel has always been one of my "dream pet", I do hope to have a squirrel or maybe a sugar glider pet if there is a chance. Anyway, right now I am still happy with my 3 little hamsters =)

Herbie, here is my latest creation. I really really love his eyes, I guess I am getting better with needle felting now, each time I do, I can feel my improvements. Practise makes perfect! You may view more pictures of him here on my website: http://www.wix.com/waynelim/wa​ynestonbears/herbie

Hope you enjoy your weekend! See you in August =)
Hugs,
Wayne
