My blahs
Seeking your understanding...
Weekends & public holidays are my rest days from clay bead making. (Or actually any other days - remember I am doing this as my hobby so I should relax and enjoy right? No stress please... enough stress handling kids at home. :p)
Respecting each others' work
I came across this artist link on copyrights. Its a very long article but I think it just about sums up most of questions on the topic. http://glassattic.com/
I would also like others to respect what I do and not be critical of it when you know not the craft. Constructive comments are of course, welcome.
I will also diligently give credit to whomever had inspired me to create a similar design however, we also must note that coincidence happen too... but of course it can never be to the extent of making an exact piece. As far as I am concerned, I will use my creative imagination to come up with a design rather than just follow something blindly. I hope others who are inspired by me will be able to do the same for me.
Let's all respect each others' work. Have fun. Be supportive of each others' craft. I really dislike to see discord amongst our small community of crafters... let's juz enjoy ok?
I love what I do and will endeavor to improve on my craft as I go along. I will persevere.

My Specialties
Many crafters have feedback that I do a good job with heart shape beads. They are consistently and meticulously shaped by hand. So yes, hearts are my specialty.
I should also take the opportunity to thank the pioneers of clay bead artists for inspiring aspiring artists like me. So, if you're ever visiting my blog and looking at this post now, thank you very much! :D
I will however assure that all works displayed in my blog are 100% handmade with my heart & soul. Every effort is put in to make the beads stand out from the ordinary as possible. I do not use moulds to create these beads. They are all meticulously shaped by hand.
I am constantly finding ways to make my beads special for everyone to enjoy. Please lend me your support. =)

In the event that you do and if the changes are extremely different from what was agreed upon, a 20% surcharge of the quoted price will be imposed.

For that, if there are any decisions by either party to make changes to the design/color to the beads, there will be no surcharges.

LENTILS / HEARTS / TEARDROPS / PILLOWS / ROUNDS / SQUARES / RECTANGLES or any other shapes you have in mind, do let me know. I love challenges. =)

(I can't guarantee I will always be available around this timing to upload the new beads as my priority is my family. But I will do my best not to disappoint. Any changes will be announced in my blog.)
ORDER RESERVATIONS
Please check my blog status for your item reservation status. Your reservation is successful if you see your initials or nickname next to the items you ordered.
You will receive an email with details by the next day to complete your transaction.
*As the bead orders have been very overwhelming, reservations have to be transacted within 3 days else it will be offered to the next buyer on the line. As such, delayed payment requests will not be entertained.*
PAYMENT
Payments MUST be received within 3 working days upon order confirmation. (3 days is really more than sufficient time for you to settle your transactions.) However, if there are any delays, please inform me promptly and I'll try my best to accommodate you. (these are on a case by case basis depending if there are any waitlist buyers.) Bank details will be provided in the email.
I do not appreciate bogus buyers who place orders and do not respond to reminder emails when payment is required to be made. Those who are sincere but have a change of mind in buying the beads will have the conscience to inform me. That to me, is sincerity.

MAILING
Would appreciate if all could try to complete the transactions as stipulated. Please allow shipment of package within 2 working days after funds are received.
As sellers, we should be aware of the risk of lost mail when opting for standard mail. I will do my part to ensure your address is correctly written, beads protected from possible mishandling during transition and package properly sealed. However, once the package is in the mail box, I am in no position to control it. If you are concerned, I urge you to take up registered mail at an additional S$2.50 per package.
