DIY small pouch with cat and rose border, using permanent ink.

I'm just posting to pass time :)

Found a piece of hard foam. Turns out it can be carved with the knife to a certain extent.

Border: 4 Roses

2012-01-09T09:52:00.000+08:00

1.5cm x 6cm. Another border design.

Dear all, if you are interested to get a quote on a stamp, I'd appreciate if you could give me all the details that would determine the size of the stamp ok :) Otherwise, we are going to be emailing a lot for me to ask one by one.

Have a good week everybody :)

Wedding Stationery - Design

2012-01-06T16:10:00.002+08:00

These are some of the standard designs I currently carve for wedding stamps. Most importantly, brides/grooms must tell me the size of the image they are expecting, the text that they want to be carved and in what font. Only then would I be able to quote properly.

I've also carved customised designs as per customers requests. Just email me your sketch or your requirements.

TQ :)

Border: Cupcake

2011-12-29T14:10:00.002+08:00

Cuppies Border Stamps. Ready stock. :)

I have flu at the moment. No medication yet. Lets try this on for another day.

Border: Cats

2011-12-28T09:08:00.002+08:00

Cat Border, ready stamp to let go.

It consists of 4 individual tiny cats carving, stuck together on a single repurposed wood handle. Only 1 piece left.

Subsequent reproduction will cost slightly more.

Have a nice last week of 2011!!! :D

Oh, before I forget.
Dear potential customer(s) :), I will try to reply your email as fast as my schedule permit. However, I'd like to request for your consideration to end our correspondence with a decision ("yes, I would like to order" or "sorry, I cannot put in my order for now"). Kindly do not leave our email correspondence hanging without a closure. After spending some time with you on the email and perhaps a bit of designing was involved, I'd rather we end our correspondence on a polite and happy note :D.

:)

Ready to be shipped

2011-12-25T15:45:00.000+08:00

Two wedding invitation stamps and one business stamp mounted successfully. Will be sending 2 of them on Tuesday and the other pending payment. To those who have finalized the design, but have yet to made payments, I'll put your order on hold. You can contact me again once you decide to go through with it :)

Have a good weekend.

Double Celebration

2011-12-22T11:21:00.000+08:00

I've just completed carving for the sisters, Aqilah and Nadiah. Will be mounting it very soon.

I went for a paintball tournament (office league) on Tuesday and managed to emerge runner-up and clinched the Most Valuable Player (Female) title. :D

Apart from sporting about 4 nasty looking bruises from being shot with the pallets, the body has started to ache this morning. That shows how unfit I am. Oh well, I wouldnt shy from another bout of paintball, thats for sure :) I welcome the mayhem apparently. :)

Wedding Stationery - Stamp

2011-12-06T09:18:00.001+08:00

5cm x 5cm wedding stationery. Carving is completed. Handle is still in progress. The image shows 2 different print using different stamp pads. I used Versa Color (17 Violet) Inkpad and standard office issued Artline Stamp Pad (Blue) for comparison purpose.

Christmas Penguin

2011-11-30T15:49:00.000+08:00

A penguin in santa's hat, giving out a present. This penguin stamp will be sold as is without any handle since the rubber is thick enough for one to hold while stamping.

Ah... finally....

2011-11-10T16:31:00.001+08:00

Stamps are completed!!!! I am SO RELIEVED. *sigh* That was tough. Having to saw all those wood to make the handles, chipped nails while sanding the wood and so on so on hahaha... hard job this stamp making thing. Good news for the owners. I will be sending them out tomorrow. :)

Update: All stamps have been posted via Poslaju on Friday 11.11.11 at 6pm. tq

Did I get it right?

2011-11-05T08:56:00.000+08:00

Only my third time carving Chinese characters. I hope I got it right Peggy! :) Will start the mounting works once the other stamp is carved. I'll be quite busy tomorrow so, stamp-making will resume on Tuesday, including the wood mounting works and all. :)

Have a great weekend!

Nona in Love :)

2011-11-04T16:52:00.000+08:00

I'm not much of a designer; more a carving enthusiast. Therefore I seek your understanding if I do take some time in interpreting your requirements into a sketch or design. :)

Stamped on a paper bag, for goodies pack.

Fatin, here is your stamp, mounted this morning. Will send it maybe on Sunday. This is actually my "handmade" design, customised with the customer's brand/name.

For those waiting for my email, kindly check your inbox now. I didn't manage to send all the replies last week because I got held up with work in the office and got back late and tired.

Today however, I am off to a family gathering with my officemates... to a seafood restaurant and I'm looking forward to stuff my face with butterprawns, calamari rings, steamed fish and on and on ... yadda yadda yadda....

Next week will be cleansing and detoxification haha!

The drawing of the 3

2011-10-10T16:05:00.001+08:00

Finally. The stamps are completed, boxed and wrapped. I'll try to make it to the Post Office tonight. otherwise, it will have to be tomorrow (Update: packages were posted on Tuesday 11 Oct - am ).

This stamp is 3 inches in diameter as requested. Is there an inkpad bigh enough to cover the whole thing? I dont know. I personally used the cube inkpad so that I can apply the ink onto the stamp before stamping out the image on paper.

Okkehhh... time to put down the blade for a while and flex my hands while my order box is still empty :)

When? When? When?

2011-10-07T09:22:00.001+08:00

Stamps :) I'm using my biggest rubber sheet for the 3 inches in diameter wedding stamp (which reminds me.. I've got to replenish my rubber stock from Japan). That apart, what a fun rendition of a couple professing their commitment :) The design of the wedding stamp is one of my customer's. The white mounted stamp on the right is done. I may be posting it later in the weekend along with 2 other stamps.

Most of my customers rightfully asked about the delivery timeframe. I must say, usually it takes within 2 weeks if it doesnt require excessive designing where I need to crack my head and dream beyond the normalcy :). There were also situations where I exceed the 2 weeks timeframe due to festive season, unplanned business trip or workshop (yes, I work fulltime in an office) and other adhoc activities.

Some of my customers received a lovely surprise when they get their stamps within 3 days. This usually happens when; 1. Payment is made in full, 2. It involves a simple image or text, 3. I'm already in the midst of completing other stamps, 4. Delivery address and phone number is provided upfront. All that said, my standard delivery timeline is still 2 weeks. :)

When do I carve? When do I saw and sand the wood mounting? When do I make the box and pack the stamps?

During weekends or when I get back from work at night, after making and having dinner, after putting my house in order :)

Furry and cuddly :)

Done!

2011-10-01T18:21:00.000+08:00

Custom "Handmade by" design in negative stamp mode, Raya themed stamps and a butterfly ready to be packaged and posted latest by Monday next week. I had a good outing today and an excellent lunch. So tomorrow will be market day and time to scrub the house clean. :)

Hope your weekend is marvelous too!

Cats and Border

2011-09-27T10:25:00.000+08:00

Small stamps in various sizes starting from 2cm x 1.5cm and one cute subject in various poses. Designed by customer. Carved and mounted by Euphoria Craftwork.

This time I used J3NGA blocks for the wood mounting. It's light and just the size that I need to mount the full set of cats. This is an effort to reduce package weight and minimize the posting cost. However, I need to paint it white and I need to be extra careful cutting them because they tend to splinter at the edge.

Border also designed by customer. Carved and mounted by Euphoria Craftwork.

This one is mounted on pinewood like usual.

All stamps have been boxed and wrapped, ready for posting to Kelantan.

I'm sleepy. Got back late from an Alumni dinner. Can barely open my eyes.

Have a good day all :)

Put3's stamp has been mounted finally. I was out of mounting material. So, this will be posted within this week. :) To those still celebrating Syawal festivities, I wish you pure bliss and contentment :) The roads in KL are quite jammed up during weekends due to excessive invitations to Open Houses!

Personalized Label

2011-08-18T09:37:00.002+08:00

Carving is completed, ready to be mounted. Designed by the customer.

This set is ready to be posted, maybe tomorrow. Been hit with diarrhea since Tuesday; not fit to drive. :(

This too is ready to be posted. Designed by customer.

Note

Lately I get more and more request to carve stamp designs found on other eraser carver's blogs. Time and time I have to decline and explain to the requestor that I won't carve Mangosteenskin's or Gianni's design (Mango and Gigi are the only 2 active eraser carvers in Malaysia that I know) without their consent and if the requestor wishes me to do so, they will need to get the owner's consent beforehand.

Alphabet Soup err...Stamp!

2011-08-10T22:10:00.002+08:00

35 stamps in total, each letter/digit is 1.2cm x 1.2cm, unmounted.

all my boxes are made from recycled box materials so far.

Hoot! Hoot!

2011-08-10T08:09:00.002+08:00

These are the carvings I'm working on for the moment. These are strictly customer's own designs. I've declined some request because I can't commit the time to research and design this month of Ramadhan (last year I completely stopped carving during the month of fasting). I'm actually working away from base up until the end of next week and is quite engaged with an assignment. I still read emails and try to reply them the best I can. Please bear with me ok :) thank you so much.

These are my alphabet stamps I'm working on for trials. They will not be mounted on wood because ... the sawing of 36 small wood mountings at 1.2cm x1.2cm x 3.0cm would really be hazardous to my fingers/hands.

See, thats how you can hold the stamp. This alphabet stamp set is available while that particular eraser stocks last.
