Christmas Mood is ON !

It is time to prepare Christmas!
This year, I have my special task to make miniature for Christmas as it is my very first Christmas after picking up miniature craft work.
I bought my first miniature christmas tree which is gold in color.   It is 7.5" tall representing a 7.5 feet tall Christmas Tree.    Then I start dressing it up.   With some handmaded miniature deco and a big golden bow ribbon,  my christmas tree is now fully dressed.   
Next, I use a cosmetic carton to prepare the platform for my presentation.     I think Christmas is not complete without Santa.   I feature as a toy ornament next to the Christmas Tree. 

Since we have another 2 weeks prior to Christmas,  dear Santa decided to take his nap closed to the beautiful carriage.    Young princess couldn't wait to play with him but Santa is snoring all the way!    Come, it is counting down time,  we look towards Christmas and welcome the wonderful holiday season with anticipation!    Hey hey, Santa ... Santa, wakeup ....wakeup :-).

Go ahead, wishing everyone the best of the 2011 Christmas Day!
Best Wishes from  Wellajoy!

Golden Dragon Fish and Little Gold Fish

The Golden Dragon Fish which is said to resemble the dragon influenced by Chinese Culture, the owners are usually business man.   They are high end species, quite highly priced.   Each fish issued with a 'Certificate of Identity' which bear its tag number,  specify its colour variety, red or gold.   The miniature in here belongs to the golden range.

Koi Fish with Videos

Koi is one of the most auspicious symbol in Eastern culture and legend that symbolize prosperity, harmony and well fortune.   Many keep them in their garden a Koi space with water features, while Chinese Scroll Paintings and Japanese art also feature this.  




I've made some videos during one of my recent visit to Fish Farms in East Singapore. 

Peaceful & Leisurely Koi's

About feeding time :-),

And now the Miniatures.....

I attempt to make my first miniature Koi product with its brillant colours and harmonious aura to represent its auspicious connotations.   As it has to reside in water and I plan it floating on my crystal collections in 3D featuring.    Taken a snapshot of 4 graceful movements of my little fish.   I would say it looked a bit too rounded and well fed compared to real ones :-).   Size wise 1:12 of a medium size Koi fish so it is about 1 inch in length.     I tried to play around put it into a mini glass "fish tank" I bought from a florist shop.   It looked like a little oversize to live comfortably in there :-).



First Koi made displayed on crystal feature


 



Baby Koi swimming in Fish Tank

Anyway,  I proceed to make a second one of slimmer body and put them together.   Hmm,  at least little baby Koi will not be lonely anymore,  and I think they team up quite well :-).  






Come readers,  the Koi pair of Wellajoy wish all of you Well and Joy,  Good Fortune and Great Prosperity !!


See you again soon ^_^.

Floral Space

Handmade clay flowers are symbolic of the tender touch and love transpired into each and every petals made delicately put together.     It is spiritually enhancing, it stores the loving touch that nothing in the fast modern world can be exchanged for ….. they are a simple and sincere way to lift our state of mind and emotions.


Watch my collections grow into the above Floral Space: Wellajoy Floral Nursery :-)

Chinese Fairy, Chinese Painting, Miniature Craft

Dear Friends,

Today I really made something of my combined interests.
Using miniature clay craft technique to make chinese fairy doll in opera style costumes and featured with my chinese painting of blossom at the background :-).   It is the integration of all my interests put together.   It is really a new experience but certainly a very fulfilling one for myself. 

Hope you will like it ^_^.
Well and Joy !!

Brightening Theme : Orchid Displays

Hello friends,  more crafts created today  ......  I am really in my best of moods :-).

Please take a look, I think it is looking bright and modern this time!

Cheers ...... good day ^.^ ........ Cheers
