Very Gestalt

For those who know Gestalt therapy, you will know what I mean by the name of this piece
Gestalt therapy is one of the many counselling theories.
It is humanistic existential approach, focusing on experiencing.
And this piece is modelled after the experiencing concept.
incorporating numerous magnets, you wear Very Gestalt to your own creativity.
Your past experience will affect the way you wear it, and how you wear it will be very different from how others wear it. Gosh, what is my very Gestalt supervisor going to respond to this *:P
Through the experience of fiddling with it, you may end up finding more than 10 ways to wear it :) be it as a necklace, a choker, a braclet, a hair accessory....

this piece was done to remember the 1 year Gestalt supervisory experience.

Very Gestalt




(to be sung to the tune of Que Sera Sera)
When I was just a little bead
I asked my mummy what will I be
Will I be necklace?Will I be bracelet?
Here's what she said to me

Que Gestalt Gestalt
What will be, will be
Depends on who finds you and sees,
through her experience.
Que Gestalt Gestalt

When I was born around a Acorn
I asked my owner what should I do
Should I join together, should I spread out
Here was her wise reply

Que Gestalt Gestalt

Whatever pattern u be
The futures by touch we'll see
Que Gestalt Gestalt
What's around shapes thou
Whose's around makes thou

when my owner became my lover,
I asked her gently what I will be,
will i be elegant, will i be great,
this is what she said to me

Que Gestalt Gestalt,

whatever I shape u to be,
u will project me to be,
Que Gestalt Gestalt
By joining we'll be...

integrating u and me

Furano

A sister of 'Sakura', 'Furano' was born after its well-received sister.
From the initially 'darker version of Sakura', to heighten it's royalty,
spot the divergence away from Sakura's pure sweetness, a more majestic broadening and it's dangle in solidarity.
I love the matt translucent violet Swarovski crystal, so different from the usual glossy look,
and its diversity to be worn according to your creativity.
I like it so much I just have to make companions for it, thus I made a pair of earrings for her.
check back again for the pic :)

Furano ($44) (sold)

Like the vast lavender fields of purple,
The flowery charm of a Furano summer beckons...
Grandiose yet petite in its design,
from the lovely flower f
ields where it was born.
May your smile be as bright as the one summer brings.

Raindrops

Silver base, topped with light and dark blue Swarovski crystals, and a concoct of blue...


like standing at the window, watching raindrops fall

this piece is inspired from raindrops.

A rainstorm is so massive but hey, a raindrop is only so small so cute.

just one little drop..with its friends...they join hand in hand


and I hear the song in the background ' Raindrops keep falling on my head.....


Raindrop ($40) (sold)
滴。水滴?汗滴?雨滴?泪滴?
深蓝,浅蓝,若有还无的淡蓝。
敏感忧郁的颜色,却偏活泼狡撷地跳跃着光芒。
眨眼间,又隐入一片玲珑剔透的蓝色帘幕中。
点点滴滴。疏疏密密。
女儿家的秘密心思谁知谁不知?

Longing

Finally, thank u sis for finally finally sending me photo haha

I've always longed to make a pair of loop earrings
I've got all sorts of earrings, but never a loop one.
I was looking high and low for the materials to make a loop earring and bought it the moment i set eyes on it. It just had to be oxidised gold, timeless vintage.
Then i chanced upon the most beautiful matt seed beads I've ever seen, a most beautiful matt texture. It changes colour when you turn it around, as if like a shiny bead. Out of infatuation I just had to get it. I'm still in love with it :P
So there I thought I've never had a green earring yet, how about making one.
thus I set myself to work at it.
Through experimentation, it finally was born.


LONGING .......



Longing for Love Long forgotten,
Longing for seeds that thrive,
Longing for her little offsprings,
To see her lovely green.
Yet her little offsprings,
are destroying her very core.
Stop and think this moment,
for our mother Gaia.

Eruption

sign.....our camera reached its final stages.....
still waiting for sis to download the photos for me

in the meanwhile, let's take a look at Eruption

my latest works are on haircomb

Eruption was the idea from thinking about volcano

Inspired by the bronze base, which matches excellently with orange.

Fireopal crystals burn brightly amidst the sea of volacanic ashes, like fire sprouting

The finished piece interestingly gave a gypsie look

Do you think so?


Eruption ($40) (sold)




Eruption of colours l
ike the amber of a fireplace,

Reminding one of the warmth that's always there,

From friends and family the fire shines,

Though far away like gypsies you are always home...

In heart and soul, that's where we're close to u.
