origami kit is here

remember that I made some butterfly brooches for my friends last Christmas

afterward I became fascinated by the art of paper folding

origami is my hobby now

and I just want to share my joy with you through this DIY butterfly brooch kit

make a heart

I am not a big fan of heart shape, but I find these necktie hearts quite appealing

they make a cute brooch on Valentine's Day 

or party decoration

bags made from mountain folkcraft fabric

I finally did it! 

I mentioned eariler that I would design something with indigo dye fabrics

bought from mountain folkcraft

these cotton fabrics have beautiful prints and color

and natural dye is used

of course, environmentally friendly products are always welcome

helmet bag

that's my first attempt at making helmet bag

it's a little bit like bowling bag, but with round bottom

I have too much fun with zipper in the process

that is an absolutely invaluable experience for me

I will try to design other different types of bags in the future

Hello, Ocean Park

I have gone to Ocean Park with friends this April

we really wanted to check out the Old Hong Kong theme park there

sure, panda habitat and aquarium are also on our must-go list

Ocean Park is like a new place for me

partly because I just can't recall when was my last visit there

one thing is the same for sure: it is always packed with people

that is why we had only few rides

and we could not hop onto the cable car due to the very long queue

the pandas are cutest

they just have the magic to put a smile on our faces all day long

we all jostled for taking pictures of them

well, I was disappointed with the Old Hong Kong

the park is smaller than I expected, some game booths and food stalls

the design just doesn't capture the essence of a Hong Kong street typical of 1950s

but if you want to check it out, I'd recommend night time

it does bring carnival feel with all the lights on

Singapore trip

I have an early taste of city summer in Singapore

lots of iced coffee and tasty coconut desserts

I am very surprised by the city planning and architecture in Singapore

it is refreshing to see that 4-story-high green trees are everywhere

upscale private apartments are next to colorful public housing

there are many styles of buildings in the cityscape

more importantly, preserving historic structure is a big thing there

I am so lucky to have a chance to see Andy Warhol: 15 Minutes Eternal

at the ArtScience Museum

the exhibition is fantastic becaue it displays many of his artworks

I find the blotted line drawings quite interesting

and, of course, the Shoe

Even though Singapore has many big shopping malls

which feature international fashion brands,

I rather go to Haji Lane and Ann Siang Road where new hip boutiques are located

the bright-colored buildings instantly put me in the holiday mood

anyway I have a best time there, and I will miss local food!

debut at KD Arts Gallery Shop

I am so excited by Cotton Car's first public appearance

at KD Arts Gallery Shop

it is finally available in Taiwan

with signature striped pattern and double-side design,

this collection includes longer strap by popular request

meanwhile, more color for bringing on spring spirit

I have also borrowed details from patchwork
