KBCC #11 - Peranakan Peranakan!

KBCC in Feb was a special one because of 2 reasons:

1) In line with Richard's Peranakan Exhibition @Pauseability, we had a Peranakan inspired activity for our KBCC! Richard & Moses definitely brought us all back to our "good old days" of playing with paper dolls.
Check out our "Mini Project Runway"!

2) We had an especially sumptuous "refreshment" spread, all thanx to EeWei! Well, it was actually a farewell party for our crafty friend & she decided to give us all a treat. Thank you, EeWei! :) 
Many of us prepared gifts for our Miss Sunshine: Richard made his signature miniature Peranakan beaded clogs, I knitted a lovely red beret for her, Moses & gang customized a sweet scarf for her from "you-know-who" :P
EeWei, all the best to you & your future endeavors with Darcy! Do keep in touch! Continue to post comments & even cool interesting crafty ideas on our KBCC blog! We will all miss you so much! Don't cry at the airport tmr, ok?? :P Our lovely handmade gifts will definitely keep u VERY WARM in cold cold Canada... :)

Scarf it Up @MAAD!

Fresh out of the oven only this week! Check them out at our stall @MAAD tmr & Sunday!
(Special thanx to Mamasan, Shannon, for the thoughtful surprise last X'mas!)
Also launching our cute little baby beanies! Only few pieces available. Do come early to avoid disappointment! :)

Wonderful Evening FreeForming

On 5th Feb 2009 (Thu), Knotty Bicsie had a guest STAR at our studio. FreeForm Textile Artist & Teacher, Prudence Mapstone, happen to be in Singapore for 3 days & agreed to conduct an Introductory workshop for our Funky Knitters & Crochet Craze. When she 1st arrived at our studio, I can't wait, but immediately whipped out my "Never Too Many Handbags" & asked for Prudence's autograph!
We were so lucky to have the master of FreeForm come teach us the principles & some techniques in FreeForming. Prudence is a very sweet & patient teacher. Her warm & vibrant smile, and encouraging words, makes twitching our clumsy fingers at FreeForming so much easier! Even Ava, who picked up crochet only 5days ago managed to come up with something cool!
By the end of the workshop, we were all so surprised by the chaotic, yet almost harmonious creations from our hands!
Check out our work of art!
This is my little "scrumble", as Prudence call it :) Might develop it into my submission for the "Yolo - Keep the Dream Alive" Art Competition. I'm so looking forward to see how it will turn out :)
A happy group photo before we call it a day...

Dear Prudence, Thank you so much for so generously teaching your tricks & sharing your experiences with us. I know you had an early flight the next morning, I hop u did not get back to your hotel to late after we ended at almost 10.30pm! Will keep you posted on our Freeforming progress definitely. Till we meet again, happy freeforming! :)

KBCC #09, #10 & #11!

I know, I know, It's been 2months & "knotty" Betsy has been pretty "tied up"!
(Hehe... actually it's just NAUGHTY Betsy being L**Y. Sorry! :P So here's to make up...)
KBCC #09 in December was great fun coz of X'mas! All of us made at least 1 ATC on X'mas theme & we exchange as X'mas cards to one another. 
Then we did our little toilet roll ornament inspired from artist, Yuken Teruya's beautiful work of Art. Not bad at all for 1st-timer, ya? Especially so, considering we were all using our not-so-sharp penknives & cutter :P
KBCC #10 in Jan was double the fun coz of our "Lo Hei" (& almost Lion Dance too!) on the 6th Day of the Lunar New Year!
We had our hands on acrylic painting on canvas. Painting is indeed extremely therapuetic...
For our next KBCC in February, in view of his Peranakan Exhibition held @Pauseability, Rihard is collaborating with Moses to conduct a very interesting Peranakan inspired activity for us! Details as follows:
