You can also catch me on...


Believe it or not, after all these while, I've decided to use twitter as well. I'm trying out to see if I like it. I guess it'll help me post updates while I'm on the go but no worries, I'll still update my blog!

Twitter link: http://twitter.com/lisateng (the picture above is my avatar used, a pair of Doc Martens I customised for an exhibition this year)

It's not much but hopefully, the post will grow soon!

Also, I should have added these links months ago but here are the links to my photos from my trip in Europe from April-May 2009, Milan, Turin, Bologna, Florence, Rome, Paris and London (again!). These pictures are from my Facebook account and these photos can be viewed even though one does not have any Facebook account. Those who have added me on Facebook would have seen these pictures already.







Also, check out a newer blog done by my friend, Ella (friend from my college days). The blog would have updates on some of the things she does to a few of her creations she did out of her old t-shirts. Her blog: http://ellaisweird.wordpress.com/

The New Portable Stove...


We all have heard of paraffin stoves or other portable stoves we bring for camping. How about something smaller and lighter?

Stuart Breidenstein of 'Go Robot' creates such an item. Also, on another level, it can be worn as a necklace.

This handmade actual working stove necklace made from brass and copper. There is a brass fuel tank and copper burner are connected with copper fuel line. When using the stove, it is enough to warm up a cup of cocoa. The amount of fuel in the necklace lasts three minutes. Also, the fuel is refillable. However, as mentioned on the website, it should NOT be used while wearing the necklace!



Stunning right?

You can get more information and purchase the necklace from Smashing Darling:
