Disco_Ball

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...

金光闪耀

Let the golden times shine thru...let's party!


my heart desires

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)
心.念.

The many facets of the heart... love conquers, the true love

Floral Greetings

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.

'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.

Timepiece

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.

grapes

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...
