I was so excited to receive this, I bought these online from China and my mum took it back for me last week. I spent a lot of time going through the shop and picking out the stuff I need, I never knew it would be this much! I am just so greedy for things like these and they were very cheap too :D!! I got a lot of jewellery findings from gold to antique copper colour, cellphone straps, chains, toggles, loser claps, jump rings and ring bases.. and many many more.
 |
| oh they look so pretty~ |
Buying findings here in New Zealand is very very expensive, so I coudn't resist the cheap ones from China. Got the full pack with all the colours. So excited to make stuff with these.
 |
| Couldn't believe I bought so much! But they look very pretty like this, it's like a piece of art! |
I even got some needle felting stuff and my favourite needle felting artist Rio Fukuda's two books on needle felting sweets!! I have always wanted to make needle felted sweets, and these books are perfect because it has so many great creations inside and the step-by-step tutorials are very clear and useful. I would recommend her books if you are a super fan of fake sweets like me!! ^_^
 |
| The only two books that got translated to Chinese so I can read them, might have to buy the other ones in Japanese. |
 |
| Her creations are amazing! It also teaches you how to make it too!! |
More photos of my newest supply collection!
 |
| Cute shiny pink ribbons~ |
 |
| I really want to try doming so I bought these plate. |
 |
| I got a lot of these antique copper stuff because they are very popular. |
 |
| Such a pretty ring base! Sadly I only got 4 of these.. should have bought more. |
 |
| Found these in a local store, had to buy it because it's pink!! hehe, they are very durable unlike the wooden ones. I am going to do some sweets deco with these. |
 |
| Final picture, showing the needle felting stuff I got, that giant brush is really heavy. And I also got 50 pretty packaging bags for my shop! |
I didn't know why I also got these two bags of wool fibers, maybe I want to try the ones from China even though it all from NZ. However, I do find the ones I got from China are less 'wooly' than the ones I bought in NZ. The texture and the smell was different, the one I bought here has a really strong sheep smell. Hmmm.. no idea why, maybe i should make something out of it and see the result.
One more week and I will be free from uni! So all the things I have posted here together I nearly spent
¥600 RMB which is around $120 NZ dollars and $96 US dollars. Worth it? Hmm.. not sure yet :D!!
Happy crafting,
Lisa
