Home is Where the Heart is

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

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)



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.

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...

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)

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.
