Project Snip-Snip: Birdbirdbird Necklace

The last item is last because it’s special. Shuku was the first person I told about this year’s birthday project. She immediately purchased herself a first class ticket on the crazy train.
Shuku and I go back a long way, although not in the way traditionally assumed when someone uses that phrase. We first met in 1988. We didn’t see each other again until 2008, although we did briefly meet on IRC somewhere in between that. After we met again in 2008, we really didn’t have an excuse not to keep in touch, especially when her brother was right about us having plenty in common.
One of the things we have in common is a love for the absurd adventures of Eben and Snooch at Two Lumps. Shuku’s made jewellery inspired by Calvin & Hobbes before and offered to make a piece of jewellery for the auction. It didn’t take us long to agree that kitteh funnies at Two Lumps is perfect inspiration for a piece going in benefit of SSPCA.
The necklace is really inspired by three strips from Two Lumps:
- Muffin Love n’ Lemon
- Birdbirdbird – Part 1 & Part 2
- Maths Equation
…but we’ve been calling it Birdbirdbird.
I encourage you to look at her process diary to appreciate the amount of work that went into this:
It’s a special kind of crazy that can marry comic strips, washers and CD ends. As Snooch said in the Muffin Love n’ Lemon strip, “GENIUS!”
You don’t get to bid for this. I’m putting down RM50 into the Snip-Snip fund for it and another RM50 for the Card Holder that nobody bid for either.
Of course if any of you decided that you want either items, you’re free to make me an offer above RM50. First offer via email from anywhere in Malaysia for either items get it.
You better hurry. Ducky’s already moving in.
* fun fact: The illustration on the name card and the card holder were made by the same person.

Made of felt and hand-stitched, this card holder has four pockets and each can hold two cards, be it the scatter of membership cards, or if you simply want a fun and funky way of keeping your name cards (and the ones you collect) in order.
Andrea has a shop here, which I recommend you visit for other cute stuff. Meanwhile, we still have a target to hit so bid away!

Project Snip-Snip: Ren the Rabbit

Closed! Young Mr Ren have been claimed for RM50 via FB and will be leaving on a jetplane!
Bunneh!
Artist and crafter Gabrielle Lim gives us Ren the Rabbit, who sports a bell and has a pocket to store things he picks up in his adventures. Or to pull surprises out from. He is made of orange felt and measures 6″ high and 5″wide.
This bunneh comes pre-neutered and will not breed unchecked like other rabbits. A safe, low maintenance pet for those of you who do not have time to pick up after a normal one but want to help the world of homeless animals.
Did I mention that the money goes to SSPCA to help them neuter cats and dogs? Ren needs a home and will be your bestest friend forever!
