&mdash; Whimsy Milieu

I’m very excited to announce that Whimsy Milieu will be holding its first ever stall at the Finders Keepers Market. The Finders Keepers Market is an art and design market, dedicated to support indie and emerging designers and artists. It is a biannual event which started in Sydney and is now also happening in both Melbourne and Brisbane. The upcoming one in Sydney is on the 1st and 2nd June (Friday night and whole day on Saturday)…so for those of you who are in Sydney (or visiting Sydney that weekend), do come visit and drop by my stall to say ‘Hi’! :D

Right now, I’m pushing myself to produce stock to sell at the market – it is not very easy when you are the only person in your business – handling both the business and creative sides, and also millions of other things in between – but, I love what I do and I hope my products will bring happiness, fun, and a smile to the end-users.

During the market, I will be selling the whole Outré Forest Treasures collection, a new range of wooden rings (various shapes & colours!), a limited batch of hand-painted tea towels, and prints of my illustrations (including some new ones!).

Below is the market flyer from the Finders Keepers website.

People in Sydney – do not forget, keep either 1st or 2nd June free – visit the Finders Keepers Market – you won’t regret it!

Love Ring for Mother’s Day

April 20, 2012

Mother’s Day is not very far away now. I’ve just had some of my Love Ring design lasercut and I received them two days ago. After giving them a good sanding and some painting, they are now for sale on my Etsy shop – just in time for Mother’s Day!

There will be more designs (besides this heart-shaped one) coming soon! Stay tuned! :D

‘W’ is for Whimsy! ;)

Get the Love Ring now in time for Mother’s Day! :)

My new jewellery collection is finally launching today! After months of designing and prototyping and planning…and the last few weeks of long-working-hours, it’s finally here! I hope you all love it as much as I do! :)

To view more photos of the jewellery and for purchases, head on over to my Etsy store! Thanks so much! :)

Another Competition

April 3, 2012

You might remember the Countdown Competition to guess the launch date of my jewellery collection. Now, nearing the launch date, I am holding another competition (with a prize!)

Just ‘Like’ my Whimsy Milieu facebook page, go to this album and click on your favourite ‘glimpse’. I will choose a random winner from the photo with the most ‘Likes’!

Both winners for the Countdown Competition and this competition will be announced on the launch date! (which is really near, woohoo!!!)

Thanks SO much for the support! <3

Getting Ready

April 3, 2012

Hello hello! The launch day of my jewellery collection is almost here and I have been busy preparing for it and also producing stock. Here are some behind-the-scenes photos of making all the bits and elements of the jewellery collection.

A lot more work needs to be done; I need to hurry hurry hurry! :D

Have a guess – is the pouch really big, or is the pumpkin really tiny? Hahahah

The Makeover

March 26, 2012

When I recently moved house, I was given two chests of drawers – they were really ugly but I didn’t want to throw them out, so I decided to give them a makeover. Here are the before and after (and progress) photos! I decided to use different-sized wooden knobs for each drawer, so that it doesn’t look so boring, heheheh. What do you think? Enjoy!~

Glimpses of the Collection

March 15, 2012

In order to determine which piece from my collection to give to the winner (first person to guess the collection’s launch date correctly), I have decided to let everyone choose! I’ve put up an album containing ‘glimpses’ of every piece of the upcoming collection – the one that gets the most ‘Likes’ will be given to the winner. Yeay! To vote and for a chance to win, please ‘Like’ the Whimsy Milieu fb page here and follow the instructions!
