SQUIGGLETOWN - whimsical, quirky, original (formerly butterfleric)

Jade Bookmarks

2011-11-30T14:47:00.003+08:00

Heyy everyone,

I know it's been quite a long time. Been making batches of these Jade Bookmarks that are inspired by a mix of Korean and Chinese culture. These bookmarks have been constantly evolving in terms of their design.

The first batch I made, I tried to go along with the simplistic feel of string and beads, but I thought it lacked some glitter. I also wanted to stick with the "original" materials of jade, semi-precious stones, pearls and porcelain. But again, it lacked something. So along the way, I added some Swarovski crystals, then moved from the usual green donut pieces to yellow jade, purple jade and even to this molted green red yellow cream jade.

I love the mix of colours and if you look closely enough, there seems to be a shimmer in the sunlight. It is really pretty. Did I mention that mint turquoise seafoam greenish-blue is kind of my favourite colour? (:

dinosaur collection update!

2010-06-02T19:32:00.004+08:00

i wanted to take all the shots at the playground, but i ran out of time. so i took them against a banana tree instead, gave it a more Jurassic feel, i think. (:

updates for dinotopia up at etsy or you can order through here too by dropping me an email (:

some behind the scenes shots and a peak at some of the other dinos i haven't done up yet.

dinosaur collection coming up next!

2010-05-30T15:05:00.006+08:00

f.john series - brontosaurus

and a sneak preview of the dino series...

coming soon to squiggletown - dino necklaces inspired by promisetangeman and the truerassic vacation bible school that i'm helping out with next week. (: will be trying to match the name of the dino to the one i'm using. check back soon!

etsy update!

2009-12-08T16:06:00.001+08:00

earring studs and rings (:

pearls + pride & prejudice

2009-10-29T12:04:00.004+08:00

heyy all!
been rather busy lately, what with graduation and starting work and all. anyhoo, i've been reading jane austen (pride and prejudice) and i just fell in love with that whole era again. san even rented the movie and i bought one of the many sequels to read. (: so anyways, i've got some bookmarks and earrings to upload in the etsy shop. shall endeavour to finish by today.

meanwhile, here are some pearl earrings i helped my mom restring - changed the findings and added some swarovski and flowers (: enjoy!

sew much!

2009-09-02T13:57:00.003+08:00

made this spool rack after reading a blog post about using pencils to form a spool rack. (: and in the background i cut brontosaurus shapes from woodgrain sticker sheets to embellish my sewing machine.

also. was clearing my wardrobe the other day and found some shirts i didn't really wear and were too small. so i decided to make pouches out of them. the first is a purple rhinestone embellished shirt from uk and the second is an a&f shirt. i really like the idea, might be making more soon.

i also made more pouches which are for sale on etsy. so go see! (:

noted!

2009-08-20T13:24:00.002+08:00

i've uploaded the etsy shop! and new mini notebooks and fabric thumbtacks. (:

squiggletown at etsy

2009-08-18T16:24:00.002+08:00

i've finally uploaded items at etsy! you'll need an etsy account to purchase items; joining etsy is free. local orders you can pay by either paypal or bank transfer. squiggletown also has a facebook group! (: please join to receive updates! i'll be making more items soon so check back regularly. this blog will still be updated, mostly to show custom orders or to showcase possible new squiggletown goods!

squiggletown is refurbishing!

2009-08-14T12:17:00.002+08:00

i'm going to be clearing lots of old squiggletown stock and will be donating it to a school fundraiser. (: i haven't decided if i'm going to still use blogger to update stock or finally move over to etsy. i've considered using both blogger and etsy, but its too messy for me to keep track. :( so yea, might use either. will update again! (:

prototypes & a custom order

2009-07-21T14:39:00.002+08:00

been experimenting with some different designs for new squiggletown pouches. these are the prototypes :)
and made this for liz. red polka dot (cloth from US, made in japan) pencil case, double-lined (linen lining) with custom butterfly charms in shades of pink and red.

for the boys...

2009-07-12T00:00:00.003+08:00

made this cushion cover for andrew. it was going to be a laptop case but was too small. so yea. :p

made this ds pouch for my brother. he chose the fabric himself! the fitting is slightly tight, thats the problem with sewing with batting. battings makes measurements all out of wonk. and i didn't want the pouch to be too lose. so yea.

other things i've been making...

2009-07-10T10:32:00.002+08:00

ladybird - cushion and cushion case.
enchanted forest - pouch for my whiteboard markers and magnets.

the upload on sunday will have 8 pouches for guys! (:

120709 "boy" pouches update!

2009-07-09T18:53:00.002+08:00

heyy all!

i've decided to do a series of "boy" pouches. as in the colour scheme will be more guy centric. there'll be lots of stripes and camouflage print! (: uploads will be on sunday!

[duffel] updates!

2009-07-04T13:54:00.004+08:00

i've finally finally gotten a new sewing machine! (: been waiting quite a while to get one, and turns out the one i liked was twice my budget. ): i got it anyways, so will be making sure that i use it regularly to make it worthwhile (like altering my jeans...hmm...) i was trying to pick out a name for it, and it so happens today's word of the day on dictionary.com is "doughty". it means brave, firm, gusty...kinda like how it was yesterday - sewing through layers of batting and fabric. haha. so doughty (pronounced dou-tee) it is. (:

so last night and yesterday i was sewing away. i attempted to make a laptop case for andrew, but it turned out too small, so andrew suggested converting it into a cushion case instead! i'll have to get him to take a picture of it for me. anyhoo, the new sewing machine could sew through mesh types of fabrics. so i sewed this ^ for myself. decided it needed a little glitz, so the zipper has rhinestones on it. (: and while at it, i made two small pouches. one will come with a free mesh pouch! uploads as usual on sunday 12.00am! so check the duffel section tmr!

p/s: i altered some mini leather notebooks for my mom the other day.

neverland inspired upload!

2009-05-24T00:00:00.000+08:00

heyy all!
i know, finally an update. this upload has lots of peter pan inspired earrings and necklaces. the one above is something i'm trying out, feather earrings. leave a comment if you like it, i'm considering making some for sale. (:
the notebooks upload will come later on. but for now, click on earrings or necklaces to see the newest uploads! (:

updates on 24th may instead...

2009-05-16T10:38:00.002+08:00

i'm sorry but photoshop is acting up. ): i can't get it to work properly. so i'll have to delay the uploads, but i promise it'll be soon. if i can get it up earlier i will update earlier.
*promise!

edo series

2009-05-06T09:21:00.002+08:00

hello. i made this series as a gift, but i liked the style so much that i'm probably going to make a bunch for squiggletown. so this is a sneak peek! (: (i especially like the small one with ribbon, next to the blue notebook - which actually isn't part of the series. opps. and the one right at the bottom on the right. those are my favourites.)

updates on 17th may!

2009-05-03T15:38:00.003+08:00

i got my beading groove back! (: sorry for the terribly long absence. here's one of the new designs i made. i'm keeping this one for myself, but i've made another in lapis blue. and a some other leaves and feather inspired pieces. i'm trying to put together more pieces so that the upload will be substantial. will also be doing some stock check and will be uploading more pieces under the sale section.

2009-01-18T20:47:00.004+08:00

hello everyone!

just thought i should pose a note.

it's the possibility that keeps me going...and though you may call me a dreamer or a fool or anything other thing, I believe that anything is possible.

-the notebook

its been rather quiet around here at squiggletown, what with all the festivities and new year and school starting! as always, i'm trying to improve squiggletown, tweak it to make it even better. so i have some new items in the works. trying to take stock and re-organise. so check back soon for some new items! (:

i'm going to be away for awhile...

2008-12-01T00:00:00.002+08:00

coming up next...

HAIRPINS!

fabutons - yes, in hairpin version now! (: (cloth from US)
clothed - new range in 2 sizes! (cloth imported from japan and australia)

some background on fabutons. i've previously made them into studs. the name and idea are original and copyright to squiggletown.

how this idea came about - i loooove buttons, and found these fabric covered buttons. so i thought it'd be really rad if i made these into studs and hairpins. but what name to give them? so for fabulous buttons, they ought to be fabutons! (: although the studs and previous hairpins are sold out, you may check the sold out archive to see more designs. so whenever you think or see the word fabutons, remember its squiggletown's fabulous buttons! updates on sunday as usual! (:

notebooks update

2008-09-07T23:18:00.006+08:00

i know this is later than the usual Sunday squiggletown updates! but it has been an awfully busy week. anyhow, here are some glimpses of custom orders and what is new. click "inked" to see the lot of notebooks! (:

woodgrain notebook that i did for myself. there are 6 new woodgrain notebooks for sale! colours are in browns and blue - oak, pine and maple.

example of a customised monsters notebooks. (:

so quick, click on inked and see the lot!

new notebooks!

2008-09-06T00:14:00.005+08:00

heyy all,

i'm very excited to announce the arrival of TWO new collections! the *limited edition* monsters notebooks and *budget* woodgrain notebooks! as usual, the upload would be done on sunday! (: i'm not sure if i can post sneaks, but i'll try. check back soon!

ohh, and due to the weight of the notebooks as compared to the rest of the items here at squiggletown, the free local shipping will apply to everything but the notebooks yea? the shipping for notebooks will depend on the resultant weight! thanks! (:

woodgrain journal

2008-08-30T14:27:00.005+08:00

lookie here!! i found this gorgeous BLUE woodgrain contact sheets! apparently they are from holland. i just had to make a notebook straightaway, so i used the woodgrain sheets, scrapbook paper from philippines, some embellies and of course my trusty dymo, and ta-dahhh! homework book for school (which is starting on monday). having new stationery always makes school more fun. haha. shall try to make some for the shop soon! (:

hullo!

2008-08-29T14:43:00.003+08:00

i must apologise for the lack of updates. i thought that i would have more free time since it was the hols, but it seems to be very much the opposite! anyhow, yesterday was the last day of my relief teaching. i have been doing some crafty stuff, but not stuff that are for squiggletown. anyhow, will try to upload at least some notebooks this weekend, if not the next. and perhaps some new earrings too!

custom order: bloom where you are planted

2008-08-11T14:38:00.003+08:00

custom order: bloom where you are planted

unique fabric (imported from australia) cover with flowers, buttons, gemstones. the back is metallic brown cardstock. 50 pages of white 80gsm paper.

edits in inked as well. plus i've made a few more notebooks that will be uploaded this sunday, as usual at 12am sharp! (:

custom order: brights kit

2008-08-07T20:21:00.003+08:00

so this is the first squiggletown kit! quite happy with it. i complied an album of 20 odd pages, all using either cardstock or premium scrapbook paper. no construction paper and such. and there was also one full set of alphas (which i think is super important in any project!) and i had a hodgepodge of prima flowers, foam hearts, foam stars, buttons, and i stamped and hand-cut this crazy load of flowers, journalling spots, boy-girl icons and ticket stubs! that took the most time. but makes it much easier for any beginner. they mainly just need scissors, glue and a fair bit of photos to finish the book. (: so you can see from the picture peeks of the type of paper used, the embellies, the alphas and the front of the album.

i started hols, but plunged right into relief teaching. so i got a brief respite this weekend (i don't have school tmr, and next monday, thursday and friday). i haven't heard anything from MAAD, but no worries, i'll still be crafting. so will definitely try to upload something on sunday (sunday is squiggletown's new items day!) might even have time for sneaks. we'll see. so in the mean time, feast on this little piece of eye candy - the brights kit! ttfn!

heart*pins

2008-07-30T09:33:00.000+08:00

i painted these wooden hearts with 4 coats of acrylic paint and attached pins at the back. going to add some pretty detailing - flowers, buttons, rhinestones and charms! (: more soon!

print*vintage

2008-07-29T10:36:00.003+08:00

more sneaks! raw glue-binded notebooks. (:

bloom (fabric covers)

2008-07-28T15:40:00.004+08:00

new idea i'm toying with, fabric notebook covers! i'm going to try and do MAAD in september. so i might be launching these then. stay tuned for more! (:

timeless enrapturement

2008-03-08T19:47:00.000+08:00

a masquerade ball and a maiden. but her trinket slips while caught in the moment. a whirl and suddenly time stood still. as the timepiece glittered in the moonlight, it lay still under the shimmer. yet, it twinkled and teased. slowly, the creeping tendrils of roses draped itself around it. but yet, its beauty still shows. timeless enrapturement.

*new* pendants!

2008-03-03T12:28:00.003+08:00

i've created a collection on shutterfly. (the link is under the heading "sold out!" at the sidebar) there you can view pictures of all the previously sold items. also! you can comment on the pictures. if you see something sold out that you like, leave a comment, i may just make another similar to it! (: enjoy!

MAAD jan 08 display

2008-01-07T22:50:00.000+08:00

spot the difference? the first day i forgot my tablecloth. but i remembered the second day (thanks mom)! notice the second day the table is neater - nicer arrangements and all (thanks andrew) and also because most of the new stuff amongst others was quickly sold on the first day (thanks to all who stopped by).

MAAD was great; meeting new people, making new friends, and getting the support from friends who dropped by just to keep me company, pitched in to help out at the booth or be it just providing entertainment (thanks lysa, mel, caleb, joshua, sk, san, vince). and for getting snacks and ferrying me to and fro (thanks dad)!

you see i've realised MAAD has shown me how one little hobby can bring people together, and its also helped me realised the many blessings life has. i don't usually wax lyrical on squiggletown, but i just felt it was expedient to state how very grateful i am to all who helped make my booth at MAAD a success. definitely a great start to the year! hopefully squiggletown would be at MAAD again soon.
