張三丰的智慧

I've inspired by Corra's article...
童年時看梁朝偉在《倚天屠龍記》演出張無忌一角,其中最記得的,就是張三丰一面在教,一面又要人完全忘記的那幕。
我再也沒有比現在更能明白箇中道理的時候了。
用金絲銀綫創作,日子久了,於是對材料的習性了如指掌,這本來該是件好事,我一直覺得,只要熟悉了材料的能為與不能為,便能在創作時得心應手。我一直這樣相信,直到最近此等説法終于被我自己推翻。
與一位不諳首飾創造的朋友共同商討打造一枚首飾,竟讓我有了意外啓發:因爲我對金絲銀綫非常熟悉,加上“人”無可避免的惰性,潛意識總是讓我自然而然地從錯綜複雜的設計繞道而過,因而限制了創作能力。第一張圖,是本來的設計;第二張,是經過商議以後幾番屢戰屢敗屢敗屢戰后做出的成品。

原來只有盡量忘記所知所學、放空自己,才能像已然干透的海棉吸取水分。
與你,共勉之。

Joan :
我们都知道已经满了的杯子,如果再倒水进去,水只会溢出。然而只要把杯子里的水倒掉,它便能注入新鲜的水。
放空,说起来容易,但真正又有多少个人做得到呢?当沉静在这功力现实社会越久,当略有成绩时,越是难放空。
前阵子看了部戏,里面有一句:‘be dead, and to rise from the dead. 死亡然后重生’,非常赞成。我欲死亡而后重生,死的是我的心和思想,而后重生新的观念与态度。
后记:
Corra 的 de Cor's Handmades 有非常非常漂亮的手做哦~~~

我的第一个手做口金包

将将将将。。。。隆重登场,我的第一个手做口金包~~~~
我烫了铺面。。可是还不是很挺也。。。身体部分还好,可是缩缝得不太好,没有膨膨的感觉。
里布用了美微给的podka dot....布身很好又是我喜欢的褐色。。 ^.^
侧边。
emmm......比我想象的难缝,尤其是口金部分,应该要多练习才会比较顺。
这是跟着《是口金包耶!》里的pattern做的,是最基本的。
phew...弄了整天,还好赶得及下雨前拍照。

Colored Cut Felt

Do you have this situation: just needed smaller piece of felt cloth to finish a smal project, a card and little decoration? This colored cut felt allow you have smaller pieces but more variety of felt at the same time.
grab it here
需要更小块的不织布?看看这里吧。。。布身比较硬,不容易起毛。6色系可选择,数量有限。
from L to R: Red/Pink; Yellow / Orange; Blue; Green ; Purple/Black/White; Brown
closed up to see it's quality. It's harder than normally sold in the market, and it is more durable.

As simple as...

简简单单的。
我很少买这种 pandora beads, 是因为一般上都用一种特殊的链子把它穿起来成为项链。
那天,神推鬼莫下买了3个不同款式。想了很久到底要做什么。。。终于。。简单的项链就诞生了。

Wired Bracelet

This is my first try on brass color Artistic Wire. It's hard for me to match brass color element with my lovely beads as i was used to silver color at most of the time.
Actually, brass color artistic wire was not so 'brass', but it's more to gold color, so i've decided to match smoky quart with it....

Card Holder

新的一年,换了一本新的记事本,想说帮它做个套套,让他更有个性。。。hoyoyi 给了个tutorial我,想想不如先做个卡套试试看做不做的成。。。。免得浪费了美美的布然后书套又做不成。。
还好我的领悟力还不算太差,一次就成功了,只是。。。size 好像太小了。。。看来做书套时要量好好来。。。
