Clay Diorama: Family in little island

This diorama I made for my friend who inspire me about home schooling educations for my future kids :) She is so talented.

The diorama is about one happy family. There are husband, wife and a little boy... they are lost in one little island. But they are not sad and confuse, instead.. they are so happy find this island because there are many beautiful creatures, crabs, sea snails, fish, and others. The beach also so clean and blue :)

Hoho.. Actually this is kind of first time I make coconut tree miniature. I was quite worry when it on shipping the leave will broken. but it fine. 

One thing make me feel regret, my friend told me that the cartoon box is wet and broken when she receive this diorama, some figure parts like her figure hair already loose. It still can be fixed by clear metal glue but I am so sorry and I learned from this I must cover the cartoon box with tight plastic cover for next any figures packaging.

Polymer Clay Thimble Collections

Hi, today I'm gonna show you some of my thimble collections from polymer clay. I make it from Mofa polymer clay and I use acrylic paint for the gold accents.

These thimbles size are just same like normal thimble, you can put it in your finger. but this is not gonna used like real thimble, it just for miniature. So I make miniatures of old vintage sewing machine, the smaller one I wrote it as "singer".

One of my craft friend request these thimble and she want its written with "Adida Indonesia" behind it. Adida Indonesia is one of good quilting community, so I decided to make another miniature of quilt, scissors and spool of thread in the top of that thimble. I hope she will like it :) 



I actually made another one, just a small 3D painting thimble using clay. you can check on my instagram here and please be happy to follow my instagram.

I think I want to make more thimbles ^ ^ it kind of addicted. 

Art regards,

Kreasi Clay ada di TV Champion Indonesia

Hi, ketemu lagi di KuroHouseofCraft Blog :)

Dummy Ice cream Kreasi Clay KuroHouseofCraft untuk TV Champion Indonesia
Hari ini saya mau cerita-cerita tentang kegiatan akhir bulan Januari 2017 kemaren. Jadi ceritanya waktu saya pulang kampung mau refreshing akibat alergi yang melanda, Tim kreatif MNCTV menelpon saya.. 

Saya ditawari untuk menjadi peserta dalam lomba TV Champion Indonesia dengan tema kreasi clay. wah pikirku.. TV Champion dulu kan seru ya, hmm tapi gimana ya? apa mungkin persiapan dalam waktu singkat sedangkan setelah pulang kampung saya harus meeting dengan customer dan setelah itu cap cus ke Bandung dalam rangka imlekan bersama keluarga. Jadi deh saya tanya tim kreatif boleh nggak sih nawarin ke clayer-clayer yang ada di komunitas seni clay Indonesia? Boleh kak begitu jawab tim kreatif.. 

Hore pikirku, senang banget bisa mengajak teman-teman clay masuk TV hihihi

Jadi setelah bikin pengumuman, ada beberapa yang inbox dan yang mendaftarkan diri untuk ikut, urusan siapa yang dipilih.. tim kreatif yang menentukan.

Dan beberapa hari sebelumnya Tim Kreatif menghubungiku lagi untuk jadi Juri, pikirku kalau jadi juri walaupun masih belum ahli banget kayak Chefnya Masterchef kuterima deh kan nggak butuh banyak persiapan. Tujuan utamaku adalah ketemu dengan teman-teman clayer dan melihat karya mereka. pasti seru.. oh No, ternyata Juri harus bikin karya juga. Dan itu waktunya mepeeet banget, bayangin, syutingnya itu senin terus sabtu saya masih di bandung, minggu ada acara keluarga dengan adik sampai malam tiba jam 10 ^ ^ '. Jadi kreasi es cream yang kubuat ini bikinnya extra buru-buru dan keadaannya masih basah ketika kubawa (untung jadi ya.. wkwk)

Tadinya saya mau pasang mahkota di atasnya, duh tapi udah nggak keburu deh, itu aja tulisan Indonesianya dibuat di lokasi pas pagi-pagi dan masih lem sana sini hihi.. Thanks God. aman.. nggak ada yang retak atau rusak. memang kubikin es cream extra besar imaginasiku pasti misal ada sekeluarga gitu nonton TV champion sambil makan es cream bersama dengan bermacam-macam rasa dan topping buah-buahan.

Tapi pas di studio dummy ice cream ini banyak yang gemes, alias ada yang sentuh-sentuh dan tarik-tarik dan 2 ekor lalat pun ikut pengen buahnya :D ada rasa duh jangan sampe meropol deh ..tapi seneng juga, semua yang lihat jadi pengen makan es cream ini :D


Sampai di Studio MNCTV yang di kebon sirih, masih pagi-pagi banget..ah tapi senengnya.. hayo diriku ketemu siapa? tara.... ce Petra piets-art hatiku...gembira :D mestinya kebalik ya, ce Petra yang jadi juri dan saya pesertanya..hihi (malu aku maluuu). Dan kami kena make up tebel juga.... Mukaku terasa berat, mataku rasanya mau merem terus..wkwkwk tapi seneng deh bisa ketemu teman-teman clayers. Setelah itu ketemu juga dengan peserta lain yaitu Rini Tengoku Yochi dan Djohan Hanaya Clay flower.

Fotoku ini nggak urut ya, karena masih harus kurahasiain siapa yang menang dalam TV Champion Indonesia ini. Tunggu jam tayangnya ya di MNCTv katanya Hari selasa jam 16.00 wib tanggalnya..harusnya minggu ke 2 di bulan Februari 2017.

Ini foto kami bersama ber-4 hihi semangat (ceritanya ini udah malem banget lho jam 12 malam) XD jadi artis itu capek ya wkwk



Ini foto bersama dengan Host, namanya mas Okky dan 2 juri lainnya, yaitu mbak Mumuk dan mas Anwar. Mereka itu kelihatannya kocak tapi sebenernya mereka cukup serius ketika melakukan penilaian. Katanya Mas Anwar itu dulu salah satu peserta acara master chef dan dia punya bakat lho ngeclay. Clayku dicoba-coba bikin bunga-bungaan dan hasilnya bagus. Mbak Mumuk juga tertarik dengan clay. Dia sempat bikin topi, miniatur congklak dsb. hihi.. tapi nggak sempat kufoto 
Senang ketemu juri dan host yang lucu-lucu dan ramah, jadi meskipun syutingnya seharian sampe dini hari jadi gak bosan.


Ini dia suasana studionya, sssst pesertanya lagi serius. Jurinya ke mana ya? wkwkwk saya sih duduk-duduk, keliling-keliling dan ngobrol-ngobrol dengan para kru, tim kreatif, tim talent, tim properti, produser, kameramen (hoo.. banyak ternyata timnya untuk membuat 1 acara dalam durasi 1 jam saja) sambil saya sesekali melihat karya teman-teman


Di balik layar itu, para kru keren-keren lho, saya ketemu mas Eggy yang suka nanya-nanya clay itu apa dan bagaimana, orangnya ramah. Terus mas Konde yang menurutku hebat kayak Deddy Corbuzier, soalnya dia bisa main sulap pakai kartu. kartu yang kupegang bisa berubah padahal nggak dipindah ke mana-mana, terus ada satu kartu yang kuambil eh tiba-tiba ada di mulutnya. Hm.. dan mbak elita yang cantik, pakai cincin clay yang kubuat secara dadakan, satu kameramen Pak Z yang request clay bentuk hati untuk istrinya, terus hmm mas siapa ya itu, maaf saya lupa namanya.. hihi dia katanya suka bikin kue. Ternyata dalam tim kru mereka punya hobi dan kesukaan masing-masing selain syuting. Ohya ini request tim produksi untuk miniatur nasi kuning yang akan ditaruh di mike syuting TV champion yang temanya nasi kuning untuk minggu depan. hehehe lagi-lagi dadakan. (Maaf kalau ada yang misalnya meropol ya) saya tidak bawa banyak tools dan oven, alias ini cuma dipanaskan menggunakan heatgun.


Nah pengalamanku pribadi jadi juri untuk di acara TV ini adalah yang pertamakali. Pesertanya expert-expert, malah lebih ahli dari jurinya hehehe.. 
Terus terang, tantangan di TV Champion ini susah juga lho.. karena ada kreasi clay untuk miniatur makanan, figure dan clay bercerita. Bayangin 3 macam itu harus selesai dalam waktu kurang dari 9 jam ><
ce Petra itu figurenya bagus-bagus tapi dia juga harus mengerjakan miniatur makanan. kalau Djohan, saya baru kenal dan waktu lihat karyanya, wow konsepnya keren dan dia ahli banget dalam bidang clay tanaman, bunga-bungaan. Rini figurenya juga lucu-lucu dan expressive ... Hmm tau kan rasanya gimana jadi juri waktu itu? saya bingung pemirsa  : D untungnya ada juri-juri lainnya dan tim kreatif jadi masih bisa berdiskusi dan memberi nilai.

Ah dan satu lagi, kalau nanti tayang maafkan kalau ada salah kata dan keceplosan atau suaraku yang sumbang ya hihi..harap maklum, biasanya kerja di studio craft yang jarang ngomong. eh ini malah disuruh ngomong di depan kamera. Itu aslinya banyak pengulangan lho dan sampe harus diatur tim kreatif  wkwkwkwk

Bagaimanapun senang sekali bisa ikutan acara ini, jadi nambah teman dan pengalaman seru. Menurutku acara seperti ini seharusnya banyak dibuat oleh stasiun televisi di Indonesia, daripada sinetron atau berita-berita negatif yang beredar sekarang ini. Acara seperti ini pasti menginspirasi masyarakat dan mengedukasi Indonesia.

Terimakasih ya buat semua kru, salut buat kerja keras semua kru di televisi.

Terimakasih MNCTV.

Polymer Clay Crochet Hook Woodland animals by KuroHouseofCraft


Hi my crafting friends,

For quite a while i have some busy craft things projects so I didn't have so much time to post my creations later. So this is the new one besides food replicas

The polymer clay woodland animal crochet hooks! I was really happy when my craft friend request it :)
Polymer Clay Crochet Hook Woodland animals by KuroHouseofCraft

I tried some cane & patterns techniques, like granny square crochet pattern cane, woods, and rainbow cane. The woodland animals here are hippo, elephant, beaver, fox, owl and hedgehog 

they are cute, they have tails too... ^ ^ 

you know, lately we are in Indonesia have some politics issues and it really annoying, I mean people are posting some bad things. I'm not capable to stop them but I think I can post something better. 
Lucky me one day I remember some nice song from mocca band when I was teenager (I still young know haha) so I get inspiration from one of their song called HAPPY

here is the complete lyrics, but I use one of the paragraph to be attached in my crochet hook picture and change the words keep you "chin up" to be "keep crochet up" :) thanks mocca, your song make me happy and I hope my friend can be happy again, support each other again whatever the opinions, religions, ethnics and so on. I really just want to be your friends until I die. 

Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries,
Sometimes It's afraid Filled with Worries
Don't be afraid, When Things Go Wrong, Just be Strong.

When Thing Seems up in the Air,
And Everything is so Unfair,
And You Stumble and Fall
Just Pick Yourself up and Sing

If One Day You Lose Your Way,
Just Remember One Thing, My Friend.
When You're Under a Cloud
Just Visit Music and Sing

If One Day You Lose Your Way,
Just Remember that I'm Here to Stay.
Don't You Give up, Keep Your Chin up,
And Be Happy! 

I hope you enjoy reading my blog and get more inspirations :) anyway, I have youtube channel now. I know I will not have regular time to make videos but at least I post something good for you. please subscribe here 


Thank you and see you
