The new 'uns

Hi everyone!

Got some announcement to make. We have new bracelets on our stands! They are pretty sweet if you ask me, I've snagged a few for my own wrists. I particularly like the Dystopia Bracelet. It is a mix of traditional elegance with grunge - hence the name. I've made it with elastics and can fit up to 7" wrists. Gems mix may vary so if you are interested you may want to email me so I can send you individual pictures. So sorry, November's kind of a busy month for me but I'm slowly making new Dreamcatcher Bracelets that will be out in December so stay put!

Rainbow Hemp strings weaved in a macrame pattern, with rhinestones and pewter charms. 

WISDOM, FAITH, HOPE and STRENGTH are amongst the charms that are attached to these bracelets. Others are of birds. You may email me at shop.stillcarvings@gmail.com to order and also to have a closer look at the bird charms. These are perfect as presents. 

Dystopia Bracelet made with howlite skulls and mixed gems. This version is limited in quantity and uses imported pewter beads. Email me if you need to know more or would like to get some.

Another version of the Dystopia Bracelet. This one uses plastic gold beads, howlite skulls and mixed gems. Email me if you need to know more or would like to get some.

So there you go, new bracelets by stillcarvings. Hope to hear from you all very soon! xx

P/S Sorry, didn't mean to sound in a rush but I am just that busy hehe. Trying to steal desk time to do this. 

P/P/S 10% from the sale of these bracelets will go to Pusat Ehsan Al-Ameerah Al Hajah Maryam, Brunei. Shop for a good cause ;)

I am thankful for.... // as inspired by Dee, Rina & Dedek

I have been reading Dee's posts on Instagram where she posts what she's thankful for for that particular day. Then last night I saw Rina's post and also my cousin's, posting the things that they are thankful for.

I reckon I should do the same as I am feeling very blessed as of late.


Things that I am thankful:

1. My Customers

Just look at the array of beautiful colours they have given to my babies. I am always so happy to see customers posting and tagging me pictures of them wearing my products and creations. I am very thankful for this. I am also very thankful for having friends whom I don't mind being generous for and giving them lovely things to wear and use ;) 

2. Football Matches DPMM FC 3 - 2 HOME Utd. Hello! What else can I say? Sitting at the drumline section really does a chapter on your adrenaline. (Funny pic of me at Rano looking like I was wearing the niqab/purdah. My cousins and I are currently laughing our asses off on Whatsapp at the sight!)

3. Family. I love my family! With all my heart and soul, with every single connective tissue, with every laughter and tears. 

4. Joey. 

5. Kinect. Hello, I get to play Just Dance, how can I not be thankful?

So anyhu, hope you all have something to be thankful for everyday. This is especially helpful when you're feeling stressed out either at work or at school. When you feel like you've given up hope, take a moment to sit back and think about the things that you are thankful for and bask in the happiness of that one, insyAllah you will feel a lot better. Don't wallow on your bitterness and self pity coz then you'll feel worst than when you started.

I think I have said this before: Happiness is Contagious. 

The rest is up to you :)

Beads beads BEADS! // and an announcement for the Dreamcatchers

Simba says Hello!

Assalammualaikum all!

Miss Dizzy Moo would like to make a little announcement that she's been keeping on the down low for a while now - stillcarvings has been working on new bead bracelets! Here she is hugging them all to sleep last night wishing them the best of luck upon their release today.

LOL! 

I have six of these to sell. They're very cheap! $5 a pop. And with every one that is purchased by you guys, I will take $1 from the profit and add in another $1 from my own pocket. That amount will then be donated to Pusat Ehsan Al-Ameerah Al Hajah Maryam. So say ALL of them get sold, the total amount to be donated will be $12 dollars. Pretty good deal innit? THAT on top of the other 10% made from sales of other items would be an additional help for the organisation. 

So please feel free to make your selection and email me at shop.stillcarvings@gmail.com to let me know what you wish to get. Here's what I need to know from you guys:

1. Name
2. Phone number
3. What you'd like to get

And we go from there. I do meet-ups, delivery AND Speedpost for an additional $4 :) Meet-ups/delivery to Tutong and Bandar will require an additional $4 as well so the option is yours.

So, anyhuu, DREAMCATCHERS:

1. I will release them at 8PM tonight.
2. Upon the release I will make an announcement on Instagram.
3. Go to my Etsy page HERE. (tell me if it's not working)
4. Look at the details. Please choose carefully. You will most probably be fighting with everyone else so you wont be able to change your selection once its done. Be quick! Practice by playing cross word puzzles or Sudoku first LOL!
5. Once you know what you want you can either 1) Make the order directly on Etsy - you have to register first; or 2) Email me at shop.stillcarvings@gmail.com. And please give me your details as mentioned earlier above. But I will give priority to those who make orders on Etsy, okay, so pleaaasseeee spend just 5 minutes to register. 
6. If you have my Facebook, you can still make your order through that also but #5 still applies.

Easy-peasy right? 

Take Note: I will not consider any orders made through Whatsapp, SMS and phonecalls. Email, Facebook, or Etsy only.

That's about it at the moment, I will keep updating you guys if anything comes up. Til then, I would like to wish you all good luck and happy shopping!!

10% of the sale of these products will be donated to Pusat Ehsan Al-Ameerah Al Hajah Maryam.

A stillcarvings Exclusive

Nothing I like better than seeing my creations on the arms of others. I think I might have a little fetish for beautifully candied arms hence why this is the awesomest display of stillcarvings collections so far (OK, I am not taking extra credit because there are bracelets that aren't mine but they go along well with each other right so I'm just gonna talk about them as if they're mine too =p)

Thank you, Miss RR *identity a little secret due to extravagant awesomeness so as to avoid from being chased on the streets - but not so secret when you're on my Facebook* for your recent purchase! Seen on her arm are the Tribal Braids (custom made for her), the Still Hex Macrame and a Weave&Chain bracelet.

I had extra fun making the bracelets because they're so colourful and very pretty! I was just staring at them after they were complete and I couldn't help but think how these are the best Tribal Braids I've made so far. Hmm, this is getting a little bit obsessive and overly exaggerated but you know you have got to admit that they are very very nice.

You have 6 days left to place your orders for any of the bracelets by stillcarvings. Til then, if you find yourself keen to get anything from me do let me know at nisa202@gmail.com and I will try to assist you best I can. Just to inform you that we are not producing anymore Still Hex at the moment - production will commence in September but I will not be taking anymore custom orders; WYSIWYG kind of thing. Will talk about this in another post!

Til then.

Ciao!!

Still Carvings Journey - KL

Alhamdulillah.Another milestone in the Still Carvings journey.My bracelets have reached Kuala Lumpur!!!Will be collaborating with my friend in July for her new releases. InsyAllah, should be a great beginning for the both of us. Thanks for giving me this opportunity to grow and expand. Such a great blessing. Am leaning towards expanding in KL, with help from lovely Wani. I hope that this will be the start of something big. 
And also, presenting the new Still Carvings collections!! Enter the Still Carvings Tribal Braid (available as they are and I also have a collection with hexes); and the Still Hex Macrame. It was a special request by Wani, herself, but now I would like to include it in the official Still Hex collection!!  Thank you, Allah, for giving me the gift of time and strength to push myself forward.
I will be releasing more of the Tribal Braid ones in the next post! And more about Still Hex Macrame in the near future.
Such a great day amidst how busy I have been with le career *jumps in colourful joy*
