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.

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,

Spot the difference! Changes to logo design

If you were to refer to my previous post, my Wayneston Bear Logo is inspired by my number 11th bear, and it was designed 2 years ago. Even though I am happy with the design, I still think something is wrong with it.
Hence, I have relooked into it and done some minor changes to my logo design few weeks ago.

My Wayneston Bears logo was created using Adobe Illustrator file, each curves and shapes were individually controlled by points, hence it takes a long time to do adjustments but I am able to manipulate to the angles that I want.

Are you able to Spot the Difference??? Haha... If you do, you are really good...
In total there are 5 changes, I will leave the answers on my comments.

My new squirrel creation is ready to show you, please come again on Sunday to see her. Have a great day! =)

Hugs, Wayne

A picture took with Instagram effects

Lately I have also found some interesting apps that you can use to beautify your iphone photos.

1) Leme Camera
Leme Camera allows u to take 4 shots of yourself, just pose within the few seconds and poom! waits for your collage of photos with different effects! It never fails to surprise me =)

2) iLockScreen Maker
This is an interesting app, you can insert calendar onto your wallpaper and add borders.

3) PhotoShake
My favourite! You may choose any pictures from your Camera Roll then SHAKE! Each time you shake your phone it creates a different layout collage of your selected pictures! It's really fun!

Have fun with your iPhone! ^.^
