Fiona's Bead Bar

This weblog serves as a showcase for my bead projects. They started mostly as gifts for my friends. I normally do only one-time pieces, so they are kinda "exclusive", if you know what I mean. :) Do check back often for updates!


If you see anything you like, feel free to email me, and we will work something out.

Happy box of FIMO

I called it my happy box.
H just came back from aboard and got me all these clays.
Yep, he made me a very happy girl!!

Note: Did you know that FIMO is so much cheaper abroad??
:))) Merry Christmas, everyone!!

Quilted beads


These are handmade, baked to perfection.
Hmm... Excuse me, I was talking about polymer clay! Wahaha!!
Notice I also used the flower onlays as "beadcaps".

Flower-Onlay Beads


I tried to discover the full potential of the cutters I had bought.
Happily punching away...

Mini Clay Tiles


I had finally bought those Kemper Cutters... (Thank you, Charlene!)
Those who are really in polymer clay will know what I am talking about...
The tiny cutters will give you a perfect cut-out every time.
Wonderful!! Love it!!
Watch me have fun!

These mini tiles will be glued to mini pegs later.
They will make very lovely note holders.

Super Long Break

Yeah, I know...
Been missing from this space for a very long time.
A lot of things are happening to me.
A new direction in my job scope,
Rearranging new furniture for my living room (which is currently in a mess),
And some "other" stuff...

I promise I will be right back after everything has settled down...
I promise, I promise!!

Handmade Greeting Cards series

I think I would like to start a new handmade greeting cards series here at Fiona’s Bead Bar. Hope you guys would lend your support!


I got so caught up in making these cards, I have more than enough cards to use for a whole year.
So I thought I could put some of these cards up for sale.
However, I could not decide on the pricing for them.
They are handmade, one-of-a-kind, slightly customize-able…

Maybe I should start selling them at S$4 each, what do you think?

Teabag Fold



Here’s my new muse, teabag folds!
Don’t ask me where this art comes from, but I picked it up from a book on making greeting cards from the library.
And I like the patterns that the colourful origami papers makes.
See, they look just like flowers in bloom, eh?


Right now, I am nuts about them,
And making greeting cards with them as centerpieces.
Watch out for them,ok?

Tea Bag Folding

I have neglected this blog for too long.
Well-meaning friends have been harping me to do updates…
Then again, my life is sooo boring; Who’d want to read about it?
Alas, my friends do… (So touched!)

In case you are asking, I haven’t been working on Polymer clay projects for a while now.
Think there is something wrong with my oven.
But I have been doing tea bag folding and making really cool birthday cards…
Look out for them, ok??

Cheerios~~!

Garden Series Pendants – CUSTOM-MADE


This is a custom order from Eunice.
She showed me a pendant she really liked, while we were shopping one day.
I said, okay, see if I can make one out of clay for you…

Well, the 2 pendants didn’t turn out to look anything like the ones we saw, but better! Hahaha~~!
Eunice especially like the one with the fence, and even “copyrighted” the colour scheme!

Merry Christmas to all


Merry, merry Christmas!! I had been working so hard for the past month, and finally, the holiday season is here...

So after a frantic search to get (or make) "perfect" presents for my friends, I think it is time to slow things down and enjoy the rest of the year.

I will try to post pics of my new creations... Yeah, once I get my lazy butt off the comfy chair!!! :)

So see ya, people! Stay healthy and have fun!
