Evolva

2007-10-22T21:41:00.001+08:00

I started this piece because of a request for red and black haircomb with a matching earring.

Evolva (set for $70) (sold)

Beginnings

So as I was again doing my usual thing of putting the beads on the haircomb together, hubby asked me how about giving an additional twist to it. How about having one haircomb that changes pattern? wouldn't it be so nice to pay for one piece and get a dozen other patterns? Great I thought.

And I proceeded to find means to do that. So as I was experimenting with it, I came up with the detachable hook notion. So there's the beginning of the true evolution. A detachable piece to create various designs.

Loop de Loop

Then I proceeded to make a matching earring. I've thought about it long enough already. And I have just the right design for it. After I made finish this piece, I chance upon hearing from its owner that she already had many pairs of loop earrings and wanted something else. Oopps, how how. Well then just forget it, just pass it to her and see how it goes. Who knows she may fall in love with it and maybe this is the nicest loop earring that she will have :P

heehee, oopps I hope she love this :P

Evolva's evolution

Then I started playing around with the detachable piece and I thought hey, how about really maximizing it, making it worth it's value and let it be something else too other than the accessorize piece to the haircomb. And I begin to make it into a earring. So I've got one side of the earring, but I need another matching side. It will be more worth it if I make a mismatch set so that the other piece can become a different accessorize piece to the haircomb. And so it is.

Evolva grows ...
Evolve Evolva into something else...

be it one, or even both together, just hook it on and wear it however you like :)

Surrender to the dark seduction of the night

the concept models after the feeling of being in a dream, not knowing what's next, where to go, as though you're moving through a maze.
uncertain, yet it feels almost like in a fairy tale.

Chess

2007-10-08T08:59:00.000+08:00

It started off with the hook
It's long elegant shape attracted me and reminded me of a cat, slender and elegant.
So I wanted to devise something for it.
I started playing with black and white spectrum, and it is to be something simple. And should be able to slide off the hook easily so that the hook can be reused for another pendant to hook on.
sterling silver 925 hook is used.
So there you are.

Chess ($14) 弈棋

Is the world in black and white,
or multiple shades of grey...
Is your next step in life lined or placed,
like the chess u play?
Be it game of chess or life,
may your game be merry...
For in the game such as life,
the crux is in the play.

Very Gestalt

2007-09-25T08:50:00.000+08:00

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

2007-09-24T09:57:00.001+08:00

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.

Longing

2007-09-13T09:28:00.000+08:00

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.

Do you think so?

Inspired for a dear friend who just got married and went over to lived with dear Ken in Hokkaido.
This piece was originally nickname 'Heirloom', inspired by wedding creations.
It uses pink opaque Swarovski crystal to elude a sense of warmth gentleness.
Drops were added to give a delicate elegance feel.
Hubby later took a shot of it against my coffee table, thus the name 'Sakura' was born.
Dear Sakura, enjoy your time in Hokkaido. And Farene do bring her out during cherry blossoms time :)

my friend from japan came up with this:
A galaxy of delicate pink stars adorn a web of audacious brown.
One softens while the other adds strength.
The natural harmony of the cherry blossom:
so wondrous, so inspiring.
Sakura --- you are beautiful
very much like a word portrait of her and her hubby 8P

My mum's patchwork quilt

2007-07-05T13:30:00.000+08:00

A breakthrough....

the moment i set my eyes on that cute very 3D feel base, I knew that's it.

haha, it is a bit on the chunky side, but you'll be amazed at how it has been transformed

it's many cubicles are very versatile.

thus, i adopt a weaving approach for this.

to be bright, to be colourful, yet to still maintain vintage trace

I grew happier as I do it, weaving in and out.

I was reminded of how mums labouriously put pieces of cloth together to form a warmth quilt for their children.

So I hope that you will similarly feel the sincerity and warmth in wearing this piece:

My mum's patchwork Quilt (S$26) (sold)
温暖.彩被

From that full burst of color to bedazzle you...

Down to the intricacies of the weaves and patterns to intrigue you...

I did this as my first pair of mismatched earrings.

Home is Where the Heart is

2007-06-24T15:34:00.001+08:00

Unveiling....

Photos are by both resident and VIP photographers...
see if u can differentiate who shot the pics... heehee :P

Featuring the centerpeice - Heart, this piece aims to capture that the heart completes.
Just yesterday I attended a lecture by a very cute and bubbly Chinese lecturer on " When X meets Y".
She describes that times has changed. people are now required to lead a "C type life" when in the past you live a good life with just a "I type life". "I" refers to linear, where in the past, all you need to get a good life is study, get good grades, then work in a good firm. Now a dynamic person leads a C-type circular life where one can do everything at one time, go back to the starting point and start all over again.

This piece is dedicated to dear hubby.
Hubby works in a European firm and worked in Munich some time back.
Time was pretty BAD then, yah, he better look at this :P
SG and MUC was a whoppy 7h time difference.
Yah and be it separated by the distance, or the time, hubby calls me.... rather, I morning call him early every morning ....heehee:P ...just to talk to him :)
And got scolded by him :( for disturbing his sleep :P
No matter how far apart, love binds cos

Home is where the Heart Is (S$12) (sold)
心.家圆

Worlds apart, day or night, the strings that tug at your heart will lead u back,
Home is where the heart is....

Oh yar, every woman needs pampering...guys you know what to do ok ?;p

When Mars meets Venus

2007-06-24T14:49:00.000+08:00

This piece is inspired from "Discoball" and was remembered as "Discoball illuminated".
No no , one is not good enough, pure opaque is not good enough
thus, it was born as two-in-one, with the mix of transparent yellow Swarovski crystal to create movement and make the piece more lively and interesting.
One is monotonous, two is interesting.
This piece was done to celebrate the vibrancy and vigour of couples in love.

Thus

When Mars meets Venus (S$35) (sold)

相遇

When Mars meets Venus, everyday life just fades in comparison.
Let the sparks fly!

Note from Hubby: PS, the "HDB" shot is a stroke of genius by "The Young One". I concede to this battle. C u in the next photo shootout.

I was looking for gold, and found my dark gold, satisfied...or so I thought...
Then I overhead the shop boss telling another customer about his infamous gold..
wow bright and brilliant!
He said that he was the only shop that sells this in the whole of SE Asia, wow...
and that stocks are running out fast, wow....
not that it needs any more persuasion.
the price of this packet was twice that of the rest, ouch....
nevertheless, into my basket it goes,
perfect, goes well with my dark gold.
and so I made a round ball, dropped from silver, showing the contrast of the brilliance, all 3 of them.

There you go...

my heart desires

2007-06-11T11:49:00.000+08:00

The creation arise out from my two favourite things, pink is my favourite color, heart is my favourite shape.
I've always felt that the heart is the key to all things difficult to explain by rationalizing.
It has the answer
ever so warm, so pink, it's beating, it's simple
this design showcases the heart, its flows, affecting everything that is around it, transforming into pink, maroon, purple.... the colors of warmth and understanding
May there be peace, may there be love, may there be warmth...

My heart desires (S$20) (SOLD)

Recent 2 creations are
Inspired by my solemnization wedding bouquet...

The story goes that we went back to my hubby's place after our solemnization dinner. I put my bouquet on the dressing table that was just beside our bedside. See the pic of my bouquet above, isn't it lovely? :)
The next morning I woke up and open my eyes and the first thing I saw.....
nope nope... not my hubby, it was my bouquet....heehee, cos I was facing directly at it...hahaha
and suddently ...yes, you got it... Jimmy Neutron brainwave passed through me again and I made 'Dazzling pixie'

This is a very challenging work.
created to product 3D effect of holding a bouquet on one hand, close your eyes and can imagine walking down the isle. every strand was twisted carefully and dear hubby use his gentle brutal strength to twist all to make it's stem. Yes, you seen it right, gentle because he didnt break a single crystal at all hee hee :P... yet strong enough to formed its shape.
To be made of pastel light colors , pink was THE choice. A very sweet light pastel luminous green was chosen to match it. Ah...Perfect.
Pink flowers are so sweet so simple so naive, yet this piece is far from simple. Sophistication is demonstrated in its entirety.
petals sweet enough to love like crazy, yet stalks rugged enough to let you depend on.
It symbolize the inner strength to hold all petals up, to uphold, to contain.

photo on the right taken by guest photographer.

'Dazzling pixie' (S$25) (SOLD)

Renamed "Bouquet"

-> hubby after a long long time stil thinks that it's best call Bouquet ,because it looks like a bouquet and it's a simple sweet name.

I also think so, thus renamed "Bouquet"

Happiness stems from within. The start of a new journey beckons...

As I was only halfway through doing it, I found I chanced upon another of its sibling.Thus was born 'Growing up'
Flowers can be seen growing down the vines, simple flowers, yet with a tinge of rebellious stride, greyish spots dotted over petals, not shy to stand up against tradition.
Like a young child growing up, learning new things of the world.
Gentle yet strong.
inexperience yet confident.
The wonders of growing up.

Photos below by guest photographer....confident though young, just like 'Growing up',
what more speaks louder than her 'Of course, I can do better than you'

Growing up (S$14) (SOLD)

Whether in the fast lane of glamour, or quiet sophistication,
the petals portray one's inner confidence and style.

2007-06-01T10:29:00.001+08:00

born on 31 May 2007 in Singapore, in the morning of Vesak day

I had the design in mind when I went to purchase the Swarovski crystals.

The pendulum effect is materialize using Swarovski clear teardrop crystal. The shine is simply gorgeous and mesmerize me, no way I could leave it there on the shelf

I also got stunning mini Swarovski crystal, my infatuation. simply amazing how a small little nothing like that do could do wonders.

it sparkle like stars, thus jimmy neutron like brainwave again oooze through me....

'Dark skies, bright stars': a ray of light in my life

So I particularly selected clear 3mm crystals that is not so bright sparkling symbolizing sky.

Needless to say, the mini Swarovski wonders sparkles like stars

Timepiece

2007-05-27T22:00:00.001+08:00

Timepiece...
everlasting time....
Eternal classics......
inspired by 2 main points :
1) a comment by colleague over 'Grapes' for more color in a piece to attain a more versatile piece that could be worn with countless outfits,
2) struck by Jimmy Neutron tingtingting brainwave halfway through Timepiece construction that some vines with a tinge of bronze could do well for everlasting effect.....

Thus introducing

Time never stands still, like the pendulum that brings color into our lives.

FRESH FROM THE OVEN (1 Jun 07)
- redesigned
special thanks to hubby for taking the wonderful photos. He's just been enlisted by me as my photographer
- At the Vineyard has just found a lovely owner to take care of her. wish her all the best. At the Vineyard's sister has also found a nice owner, she will show herself sometime later in march, where her dear shotscreen is taking a trip in usa.
ciao...

this is my most treasured piece, the one I'm most proud of heehee...

introducing At the Vineyard, inspired by wine and grapes
most say it looks like a pair of grapes, do you think so?

comprising of 5 different types of Swarovski crystals in the series of blue.
It's a modern exquiste pair, most certainly very stunning when matched with dark blue chiffon flowy dress to wear to a evening dinner!

My fascination was in bending wire when I made this pair. In fact I got obsessed with bending wires so much that it was most certainly portrayed on close view of this tiny grape.
wires were hooked through in interlocking loops, one over the other.
my signature on this piece is the white tiny crystal located about half a cm lower from the middle, popping out saying hello from its small circular window (see if you can find it :P)

At the Vineyard (S$28) (SOLD)

Sparkling like champagne...where the vines's finest harvest is

This piece has a younger sister, born from a request to cater to shorter hair personnel.
it's born yesterday, will get her to see you all soon :)

of hair and ...just hair

FINALLY!!!!!

Haven't been able to catch some time to do my beading... finally manage to finish 2 works....introducing firstly the elaborate work that i manage to complete after doing for months... Modern Blue , doing a little at a time. then, i was very inspired by dark blue, thus this concept of modern blue. sparkling throughout the entire hairpiece, the sparkles intersect in the middle, your silky hair doing its peek-a-poo, shy as it is.

it's easy to use, consist of 2 hair comb. just comb in one hairpiece on the left, comb in the other hairpeice on the right, adjust it a little and bingo...swiss swop zzzzz...there u have modern blue sparkling down the lane! even got my model showcasing the final product heehee....

Modern Blue (S$40) (SOLD)

and finally my newest piece, Of Circle and Cycle, inspired by round circles and the concept of cycle. I termed this my recycling project. The shape of the wheel is inspired by circles. sparkling grey beads are hooked in circles, and across like a ship steering wheel. Recycled materials were used. The base clip was the result of a broken hairclip and was made use as the bone of the new clip. red ribbon left over from previous projects were used. in an attempt to darken the luminous bright red ribbon, black and grey beads were chosen .the white base where the beads were hooked to form the steering wheel was recycled from a earring experiment.

thus introducing

Of Circle and Cycle...

Flower designs

2007-04-09T09:00:00.000+08:00

Last week, just came up with 2 flower designs

the first Youthful Blue inspired by the ocean blue, is designed as a lighthearted youthful look

Youthful Blue, elegance with a touch of playfulness

(S$5) (SOLD)

The second design Pure sweetness was a continuation from the first design. Particularly design for my sis, to give a sweet dainty and elegant look to match her. The flower was selected to be smaller, and 'stem' was made longer to give a lengthy look and blend with her long hair. The white color of the flower with a tint of pink was chosen to give it sweetness yet with mature elegance.

Pure sweetness, sweetness with elegance

(S$5) (SOLD)

Btw, if you are interested to custom made any earrings, chokers, necklace etc etc, or wish to purchase any of these designs, do drop me a message and let me know :)
