Debra
Thanks to Debra, Meimei just made another sales!
This is the longest sale Meimei ever made and would like to say a big thanks to Debra from being so patient with us throughout the process and the delays.
After a one-and-a-half month wait, Meimei finally delivered the package.
We hope you like them, Debra. Thank you so much! It wouldn't have been successful without your patience and understanding. :) See you again!

At New Town Primary
Meimei was at Newtown Primary on the 21st for family day!
It was nice of the school to help families bond and give the parents a chance to walk in their children's shoes.
Here are some pictures of the store New Town Primary let Meimei set up.
Thank you for all the children and parents who stopped by to appreciate Meimei's work, and for New Town's Primary's Lilian for giving Meimei a chance to show her work to the people at their school.

About Meimei

questions?
Answers
What is clay?
Meimei uses a clay called 'Jumping Clay', which is light-weight, durable and spongey. It has a soft texture and can be pressed but will immediately pop back to shape when released. It can also 'bounce' when thrown onto the ground! Thus, the name 'Jumping Clay'.
How to care for it?
For a soft clay, it is actually quite strong! Meimei has subjected her own creations to extreme hot weather and heavy thunderstorms. The creations have always stayed in shape. But like any other precious jewellery or items, it needs much care.
If wet, simply put it out to dry. DO NOT use tissue, cloth, your t-shirts or any other materials you can get your hands on to wipe it. Gently put it on your table or any flat surfaces to let it dry on its own. When not it use, it is best to keep them covered, like in a jewellery box, away from dust.
Can I store them together? Will they go out of shape?
Not unless you compress them with other items really hard for a very long time. Other then that, yes.
How big are the items?
Size of clay items differs.
Placed on an ear stud / ear ring, badge or charm (on handphone or bracelet), it will be about 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm to 2 cm x 2 cm.
Anything else (pendant, pin, magnet and keychain), it will be about 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm to 3 cm.
Are the items' colours fixed?
No! you can choose to have them of different colours. Heck, you can even have a purple carrot! Just e-mail Meimei and we'll fix it up!
Can I choose differnt charms for my bracelet?
Absolutely!
Can I have 2 or more charms on my necklace?
Why not? :)
Can I mix and match?
Mm Hm. Let your imagination run wild! You can have a carrot on your left ear and a rabbit on your right. Anything you want, you got it.
Will the item drop off?
Like all precious jewelleries or accessories, these items, whether it is an ear ring or a keychain, need care. But once again, Meimei has subjected the clay to the hands of some strong men's arms and it can take some effort to break off.
Meimei also uses E6000 industrial strength glue to make sure the clay is securely stuck onto the chain. She has taken care of that, so that you have little to worry about. The rest is up to you. :)
How long before I receive my purchase?
Each item is made only when an order and payment is received so that each purchased item is newly made especially for you! Upon receiving payment, it will take Meimei between 1 to 2 days to make your purchase and it will be sent immediately, if you choose to receive by post.
If you require any changes, please let Meimei know 24 hours before delivery date. If not, your item will be delivered to you 24 hours after Meimei is notified of the changes you asked for.
How do I make a purchase?
You can meet p and pay by cash, do bank transfer (for singapore banks only) or use paypal. If you wish to use other means of payment, contact Meimei and we'll fix it up!
For more information, go to 'payment' at the navigation bar.
Paypal? What's that? Do I need an account?
It is a safe way of paying online through you credit or debit card. Millions of online stores use it as it is reliable, safe and convenient. No, you do not need an account. But you can open one if you wish.
Give you my information? Is it safe?
Meimei promises to never divulge any of your information to anyone except your address to the postman. :) If you use paypal, Meimei will not know of any of your account details.
If you have any more questions, once again, e-mail Meimei. She's got the answers.
