  • Those who come for pinic (food only) – $5.00/person

(members are to bring their own T-shirt)

I am going to have a craft class of "Fabric Painting" and am thinking very hard of where can I hold this event.

Added 3 more photos of 1) Black Top, 2) Jean n Black Top n 3) Shoes which can be viewed here – http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y64/lohyks/Karen%20Thio/?albumview=slideshow

Han Cafe is not going to take our nonsense anymore after making so much noise and effecting the other customers dinning in the Cafe ( even with 20 members on the last craft day , we are rather noisy-haha).
I would like to hold this fabric painting class at "Singapore Botanic Garden". While waiting for the "project" to dry , we can chat and have a pinic at the green green grass of land with plenty of fresh air .
Members can have the choice of painting on a pair of shoes , T-shirt or both. I will provide the paints and some accessories for the design on the T-shirt (will advice material cost later).
Those who are interested , please sign into this post  . Members who are not joining in the craft , can come down and join us for the pinic and  we can have our evening chatting away freely.
Cost of the food will be share among the members or I will collect $5 for food and need some of the members to help buy some Yummy food/snacks  for the pinic.
Thanks for your support and please do give me any suggestion if u have for the craft or the pinic.

  1. Tentatively I can make it. But I’ll only be interested in the picnic and fellowship, and the crystals….besides angels and butterflies, what others can you teach???..Jie

  2. Jie

    What do u like … accessories or handphone accessories.

    I am making a ring to show u people… but worried it is a bit tough cos the crystal use are very small.

    WIll let u know but please do come down for the picnic.

    Thanks

  3. Karen,
    Fabric painting and picnic! Sounds interesting, but I’m keener on crystal craft leh. Anyway, I will come for the fun of it.

  4. Mary Chan

    Wow , everyone prefer crystal. Ok. I will go source it out what to do.

    I have a something in mind but need Pauline to take a photo for me. It is a bracelet make out of safety pin & crystal … very classic… let see if I can make one in time to show to u people next week.

    Even no registration of the fabric painting , we will all comedown and have some fellowship…

    Those who can help with the food (any favourite food at your area like Soon Kueh, Curry Puff , donut ,Tim SUm…) Please put your hand up to help.

    EVeryone has to bring their own drink la cos it will be too heavy for us to carry .

  5. Karen,

    I will show you my crystal ring & bracelet which done it by my sister, may be could give you an idea to conduct the class.

    Thank you.

    I have alot of crystal accessories to teach but I have to watch the “material cost” and need lot of time to teach.

    If member request me to teach any item , I can just go ahead with the material I buy,

    ANyway, after struggling with the angels/butterfly , they still need some simple “crystal item” before going into more advance crystal making.

    I will try to make some crystal at hand to show to the members on that day.

    Thanks for your support. Happy u come down for the fellowship.

  7. Hi Karen
    Thanks for arranging a session to teach us yr creative craft. Wld like to join in painting my shoes if I can find a comfortable pair. I’ve difficulty finding comfortable shoes. Can u let me know where to buy the China made shoes n whether they are comfortable?
    Btw what happens if it rains n are we to bring floor mats?

  8. Marg

    U can only get it in those old shop , I cant exactly tell u where. U have to look around. The last I got mine was from Joo Chiat area …Tiong Bahru Market. I cant volunteer to buy the shoes for the members, it will confuse me with so many different size. Where do u stay??

    These shoes are very comfortable , I painted for a friend and she just love it. I just got myself a black one but find it so dark & boring , This is the first time I try a black pair – so hope it turn out well.

    U can see the picture of the shoes in my Crystal Craft attachment.

    Thanks for support. Yes , everyone has to bring their own mat. Food will only decide once we confirm the no of members coming .
    Just pray it don rain la.

    U are the third person that asked me …. I don know how to put a price on this bag (haha)

    I am trying to find a time to demo this bag making for all at SHC cos I cant conduct this class anywhere except my house.

    What on the bag is my old Jean, stripe from my son bag (not use) and the belt I make that is out of fashion…..

    Soooo , all re-cycle (haha)

    ** Christina post a comment but I did not receive in my email …why??

  14. Karen

    I believe u shd hv but if u din, I m not sure wat hs gone wrong. Cld b tat it was hijacked in transit by the new wave of terrorists called “emailists”. LoL.

  15. Hi KAREN Thio,

    I saw your picture of the Crystal Wedding ring filled with beautiful crystals BUT NO hole for the finger to pass through.
    How to wear?
    Just curious to know.

  16. Hi Karen/others,

    No wonder your Crystal Angel ring costs $5 million studded with diamonds which Tony Leung give to her beloved Carina Lau at Bhutan.

    What a ” SPARKLING ” gem?

    Is LOVE measured by the HUGE amount of money thrown into material item ?

    Pls. enlightened me.

  17. Steven

    The “round ring” is behind the crystal . U cant see it becos the “diamond” is slightly bigger or the size of
    a 20 cents coin…

    There are more than 100 pcs of small crystal round the “diamond’…that is why it take me 2 hours to do that.

    The other bigger version is a pendent about the size of 50cents coin and that belong to Pauline Khoo.

    Now can u imagine how big is the “diamond” … u need one for your wedding ????

    Karen

  18. Steven

    If u love a person, money don count…. u will buy what she like and she will treasure it for all her life.

    This is “love” and money cannot buy “love”

    Understand ???? (hahaha)
