Totoro Wedding Cake Topper - Our Testimonial

It is always a happy thing whenever you receive a good compliment from your customer. Today we are so happy to receive an email from one of our customer from United Kingdom. She is happy with our services and she even shared with us the pictures she took with the Totoro figurines she ordered from us few months back. 

In April 2011, we received an inquiry from a customer - Jo in UK. She would like us to make a Totoro bride, bridegroom and the cat bus as her wedding cake topper. July 2011 is the month of her wedding. That was the day where these figurines will be displayed on her wedding cake. We are glad to hear from her that they received a lot of compliments from her guests. We are definitely happy too! :) 

Just to share with you the words from our customer :

" The wedding seems to be a distant memory - I got married in July.

Thank you very much for your hard work in making/creating our wedding cake toppers. We had a lovely day. We had lots of compliments from our guests. A lot of people thought they were edible and asked if they could take the figures home (which I was definitely not going to let them do).

Intially, I was concerned and you are located on the other side of the world and that there's only so much you can say in emails. In addition, I was taking a risk and you were reasonable with your prices (including P&P) for the customised items compared to the UK.
You were very professional and understanding of what I was looking for and extremely happy with the result. You were very efficient with your communication and answered your queries in a friendly manner.
I would definitely recommend you and hope to use you on another occasion.
Enjoy viewing the attached pictures for your portofolio.

Kind regards,

Jo   "

Our 1st Try Making Cute Dolly

We have just bought a clay reference book online few weeks back. This book is published in Taiwan and it is in mandarin language. When we saw this book, we were so tempted to learn making those cute and adorable dolls. Based on the book, we learned some techniques such as how to make the doll's hair curl, how to design clothes for the doll etc. Using this book as a reference, myself (Leena) and Stephy has created our own doll. 

The book we bought.

Some example of the technique shown in the book.

Stephy's doll named Iko, She has curly hair and with long leg. Whilst, Leena's doll is named Winter Bluey. She has long hair and very petite in size. Iko and Winter Bluey has become sisters and friends and more dolly friends is coming on the way. :P 

This is our first try making such cute dolly based on the reference book we have bought. They may not be perfect, we will try to improve and hopefully our next cute dollies will be more details and with better artwork. :)

Introducing Our August's "New Dish" on the block - Ratatouille's Remy (The Rat) Glow in the Dark Clay Figurine!

When we mentioned about cartoon or animation film from Walt Disney, everyone will remember the famous Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Princesses such as Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. In year 2007, Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney had produced one of computer-animated film - Ratatouille. A story about a rat who has a dream to become a chef.

Ratatouille - The Animation Film produced in year 2007

A regular customer of ours requested us to make a 4 inch in height of Ratatouille's Remy the rat figurine for her dad's 63th Birthday. The reason why she chose this character is because her dad is born in the year of rat and she finds Remy - the character in Ratatouille is cute. Of course there are some additional requirements from her to add on to the figurine. I am glad she likes the figurine and now we would like to share our artwork with you.
