羊毛氈有許多塑型的可能, 雖然原料又軟又鬆散, 但是成品可是非常堅韌呢! 因為在法國買到羊毛針, 所以我的羊毛氈實驗又多了像這樣細節比較多的小作品. 這陣子熱中於做植物主題的戒指.There are lots of possibilities of felt shaping. The final product is very strong though the material is quite soft and fluffy. Thanks to the felt needle I bought in France, now my experimental works can be more detailed. Theses are the rings inspired by the plants.

這是我每次出國幾乎必備的箱子,已經跟我近十年了. 奇怪的是家中並沒有人想得起當初是誰買了它.上面的貼紙, 有的是自己用印章蓋的, 有的是去過的國家, 有的跟工作內容有關. 這樣在機場領行李時就不會認錯箱子啦! （攝於德國Essen火車站月台）This is my "Must-have" suitcase for almost every trip. It's been with me since 10 years or so. Strangely no one in my family remembers where it came from. The stickers covering it are either stamped by me, bought in the visited countries or from my works. You can never mistake

冬天是收成白蘿蔔的季節. 所以回到外婆家可以看到廊簷下滿滿排著晒的白蘿蔔片大軍. 從種植, 收成, 削片, 排好曬乾, 儲藏, 都是外公外婆親手完成的. 我想我這不依時令過活的人大概無法耐心完成這麼繁複的工作吧! 放一點乾的白蘿蔔片到肉湯裡, 會有種陽光的清香喔!Winter is the harvest season of daikon radish. Actually in Chinese it's "white radish". When I go back to grandparents' around Chinese New Year, the "white radish army" is always sun-dried in the yard. My grandparents grow, harvest, cut them into fine pieces

我對如圖中的刻花燭杯特別感興趣. 而且相似的風格在不同的國家都能碰到. 所以我的10個燭杯是分別在歐洲美國買的. 也許因為它們的色澤豐富, 形式古典, 燈光能自然地穿過燭杯映照在桌面或牆上, 比許多花裡胡稍的燭台都來得耐看實用吧

今天買了個紅色鐵製工具箱, 現在裡面有橡皮擦印章, 雕刻刀, 印泥跟待刻的橡皮擦. I bought a red tool box today. Inside the box now there are my eraser stamps, gravers, ink pads and erasers.

因為想讓自己的串珠有更特別的純銀零件, 所以乾脆買了銀黏土自己捏自己燒. 終於完成第一件, 三個花珠. 晚上也串好一副耳環了. 還有一條項鍊等著完成.Needing silver beads with style, I bought a silver clay kit to make my own beads. The 1st set of 3 flower beads was finished last night. I use them for a pair of earrings, and a necklace to be finished soon.

利用橡皮擦跟美工刀(30度角為佳), 就可以刻出可愛的印章. 上週末刻了幾個, 都以植物為主題. 美術社買得到專刻印章的較大橡皮擦. 質地也較密. 一般橡皮擦比較軟, 雖容易下刀,但屑屑卻比較多.With an eraser and a cutter (better be 30 degree), it's easy to carve stamps of your own! I made some last weekend, all with patterns of plants. Eraser for carving can be found in fine art shops in Taiwan. They are harder and bigger than normal erasers. You can also make stamps with a normal eraser,

剛剛拍了幾張岩桐, 發現光圈大的條件下, 拍出來很有國畫效果呢~ 真想俗氣地在一旁加上"國色天香"四字.I just took some pictures of Gloxania with my digital camera. Surprisingly, the result is pretty like a Chinese painting.

這幾天畫了越洋食箋的版面2件. 一幅叫French Patisserie, 是香甜的法式甜點, 另一幅Sanbano! Mongolia為蒙古風光. 都用illustrator軟體製作. 在很短時間內完成的非常簡單插圖. （Sanbano是蒙古語"你好"）I finished 2 illustrations for my another blog. "french Patisserie" shows my favorite French desserts, the other is “Sanbano! Mongolia“ with my dreaming Mongolian landscape. Both are done with Illustrator. Very simple works achieved in a very short time.(Sanbano means "

大岩桐有大大毛毛的綠色葉子, 花也是一大朵紅色,紫色或粉紅色. 顏色對比強烈, 一點都不矯柔造作. 重點是不難照顧, 哈哈!Gloxania is composed with big, green, velours-like leaves and these big red, deep purple or light pink flowers. It is the most pretentiousless flower I have ever seen. It just shows you what it got without fear. The most important thing is: it is easy to take care of!

最近的空閒時間都花在蕾絲編織上了. 跟媽媽們70年代織的蕾絲不同, 我織的是愛爾蘭蕾絲. 這種源於義大利, 19世紀中葉自愛爾蘭修道院推廣至民間的手工藝, 主要特色在於多以植物花卉為主題, 重疊的花瓣綴織於網目編織底布上, 比一般的蕾絲編織更富立體感. 此外, 以花葉為個別單元拼接成面的織法, 用在編織衣服上較傳統逐段編織法更靈活,變化更多. 我正用這種拼接法進行一項大工程, 期盼能早日完成!Recently my leisure time is mostly spent on crochet lace. Unlike the crochet lace in the 70s, what I make is called "Irish crochet lace". The technic is originally from Italy, then spreaded to the

吉隆坡市就像個大叢林, 喜溼的奇形怪狀的熱帶植物們四處聳立, 我可以想像他們必定滿懷歡喜地迎接每天下午的暴雨洗禮.Kula Lumpur is like a big jungle. Streets are covered by the amazing tropical vegetation. I believe the trees must look forward to being bathed by the shower every afternoon.

夏天果然還在吉隆坡, 但是午後雷陣雨可也沒走. 雙子星塔就像快被雨溶化一般.Summer does remain in Kuala Lumpur, so does the heavy thunder shower. The twin towers look like melting in the hard rain.不過雨下完後, 雙子星又成為最閃亮的兩根玉米筍However after the thunder shower, the twin towers are still the 2 brightest green corns.

明天我要出差, 到馬來西亞和新加坡. 三天兩夜,很趕. 第一天晚上在吉隆坡會參加一個客戶贊助的小型"設計師之夜". 聽說得講幾句話.腦袋一片空白. 但是我最關心的還是: 是否還能在當地感覺到夏天呢?P.S 等我回來時, 拜訪過的國家就17個了!I'm going for a business trip to Malaysia and Singapore tomorrow. 3 days and 2 nights. Kind of rush. During the first night, I will attend a "Designers' Night" sponsored by our client in Kuala Lumpur. I'm asked to give a "little speech". Don't have a clue of what to say though

每天5點後, 幾乎空無一人的辦公室就是我做綠色實驗的地方. 因為這裡明亮寬敞, 溫度適宜, 所以可吃與不可吃的香草, 觀葉植物, 小花們就被我就近安置在辦公室各個角落裡. 其實我是個園藝新手, 但是截至目前為止, 這些無聲的寵物們大多長得挺好的, 令人很有成就感!圖為部分小植物們正等著被移植:::Each day after 5 p.m and nearly everyone's gone, the office becomes my 'green laboratory'.
