Crafted By Mei goes Offline!

yup, Offline, literally ;)


My line of handmade bracelets, necklaces & rings are now available at
Offline Blogshop, Berjaya Times Square, KL!

It was really fun coming up with this collection of jewellery, from choosing which pieces to remake & at the same time coming up with new designs, to working on the overall deco.
So after lots of planning, scribbling & sore fingers, here's my first venture into retail presence.

Necklaces hanging off the birdcage :)
Psst... dig through the treasure chests, lots of goodies promised!



do drop by if you happen to be in KL.
Store Location: 1st Floor, at a new location called 1st Avenue, Times Square East.

My table: The table furthest away from the cashier, near the side entrance.

Parking: You can go to B2 / B3 (I believe it's the same for B4 & B5), look for the lift next to pillar 44. 
This lift leads you right to the store.

Customization: Nadhirah

This double strand style has been quite well received, tracing its roots back to Taking Flight and later on made popular by Debbra. I have made several variations to this design, one of them is posted up on the blog (see Jyh's piece) and now, here's another twist by Nadhirah, one for herself while the other 2 for her uni mates as graduation gifts.




Thank you!

Lilacca




Lilacs & lavenders are always a delight to the eye, don't you think so? ;)
I wanted to make this with a Victorian vibe so I covered all beads on the right with bead caps, separated by a flower cabochon, the left end features mini deep violet beads with daisy links.
Hanging off the bracelet is an adorable birdhouse charm :)

Owl




I fell in love with owls sometime last year, specifically the cute, whimsical, wide eyed ones, not the fierce looking, more realistic types, haha ;)
This pendant is simply pretty enough that I didn't want to add too much details to it, a dainty peach sunflower did the job just fine for the feminine touch.

Customization: Kim



Kim wanted a bracelet with keys, padlocks, flowers & hearts, basically sweet stuff that I really like as well ;)
She mentioned a 'fairytale concept' with less beads, so I went along with a bright peach chrysanthemum surrounded by sparkly chinese crystals on one side and the other side, just charms.
Finished off with a 'Made With Love' and that cute bird house!

Customization: Jyh



For Jyh's friend, who likes charm bracelets.
A double stranded piece like the one made for Debbra, Jyh wanted this to be of classy colours so I chose black, white & silver beads and the peach cabochon for a pop of colour.
Accompanying key charms to go with the 21st birthday theme ;)





For Jyh herself, who hasn't worn a bracelet in a long time...
She decided to try with something that can be worn daily and matches everything, especially for her dress of pink & white.
I went ahead with the theme of Sorella, with a couple more charms (Jyh chose the clover for luck, haha!) and 3 white beads at the other side for an asymmetrical twist.

******

Received a very happy email from Jyh, hopefully I didn't get her addicted to bracelets! ;)

I personally find teal a very inspiring colour, if I were to describe it in 3 words, it would be something along the lines of fresh, soothing yet captivating.
I chose a light cyan flower cabochon, surrounded with various glass beads while daisy links connects the left end.
Sweet 'I Love You' inscribed envelope with heart shaped key charm dangling along :)
