Seeing Circles



Title of Work: "Seeing Circles"
Medium Used: Acrylic on Canvas, Cotton Ribbon, Colourful Felt, Cotton Black String and plastic buttons
Size: 8"X 8" (22cm X 22cm)

Handicraft Passion has been seeing circles lately. There were so many events and activities coming up and she finds it quite tiring at times to handle them all at one time....Hence very often she is in the stage of seeing circles.... and this has given her the idea of producing a work on circles....hThese circles are in different colours to show that they are actually good and bright ideas generating behind her mind with the objective of accomplishing them, though not all at one go but at least one at a time. Time and more time is the main “ingredient” to this set of circles.

Baby Booties


These baby's first wee felt booties will keep baby's feet snug and comfortable. It is fully felt lined and embellished with a huge flower and applique leaves. A real perfect gift that will be treasured as a keepsake.

Handicraft Passion has made this as a personal gift to her colleagues who will be waiting for the arrival of their princess.

Granny Squares

Granny squares, one of the most staple craft patterns amongst crocheters, come in different pattern and colours. It is a made of crocheting several rounds of stitches to form a square. I started off the granny square project mid last year hoping to make a nice throw over or a cushion covers. Handicraft Passion couldn’t recall how many dozens she has already made as she was completely smitten with the pretty colourful squares in every one that she has made. The fact that having to make the same patterns repeatedly for such a long period of time could slowly retard the keen interest . She then put a stop in making more probably, well most likely just a mere excuse, because of running out of thread and didn’t bother to make an effort to replace them. Anyway, since Handicraft Passion is now into making very colourful art and has just completed an art work on Seeing Circles, it just struck her mind that she has some beautiful granny squares waiting to be used. Without hesitation, she is intending to put them to use very soon.....

These loving bunnies are delicately handcrafted collectible sock bunnies. They are all lovingly and carefully sewn entirely by hand without the use of sewing machines, therefore all of them have their own personalities and are unique in their very own way. They are designed and created for decorative purposes as collectible art pieces for children and adults alike. They all one day wish to find new homes where they would be loved and cherished.

Note- As button eyes and noses are used, these bunnies are NOT RECOMMENDED for babies or small children under 3. Although they are securely sewn on, they would not pose much of a challenge for a determined chewer :). However they could be modified to suit young children. They are wrapped in clear plastic packaging tied with a lovely ribbon. You may request for a beautiful keepsake box tied with a satin ribbon.
