Made in Taiwan Part 2

One side is diamond and the other side is W.M Amor.
My sister Jamie's 1st try. Nice cute ring with radom beautiful lines.
My mushroom pendant was covered with smooth mirror surface and curly texture.
My teacher thinks it's a evil mushroom and it's alive. Haa..
Leaf pendant I made for my mom. I am still looking for the perfect Pearls or jem stone to go with it.

This was my 1st silver jewelry piece, Key pendant.
It's harder to make than you think. I had to combined 5 pieces together then add texture on the heart and added ring.

I was experiencing wax jewelry making..really hard to control those tools:P

Finally I post some silver jewelry I made in Taiwan. I joined a short silver clay class when I visited Taiwan. Silver clay is great medium to use. I was a great and fun experience.
Those are my teacher, Anita's web site. You can see her jewelry and class schedule.

Happy Chinese New Year

Happy New Year to Everybody!!

Made in Taiwan, Part 1

Taiwan! What a fantastic island which is full of the energy and creativity.
I used to think that Taiwan animation and art aren’t original enough.
However, I totally changed my mind yesterday.
I went to KAIYODO and OTAKU culture lectures at Taipei Fine Art Museum.

There are many artists, designer toy companies, and animation companies working hard and bring Taiwanese art to different level.

Take a look of this Taiwan animation studio. http://www.sofastudio.com/index.htm.
The original broadcast show they created.

MuMu Hug http://www.mumuhug.com/ ,and Choccy http://www.choccy-love.com/

I feel really excited to see their animation. Finally, there is a company doing full production line in Taiwan but not only the animation part. Characters are very appealing and animation is quit fluently. We may their animation on Teletoon or PBS one day in Canada.

P.S all the image copy right are belong to Sofa animation studio

Zoo

I went to the Vancouver Zoo last week. It was my 1st time to Vancouver zoo and I had lots of fun. They have great selections of animals. They have a small wild park that bears, wolfs, deers are living together. Don't forget to wear more clothes if you want to visit.

Gocco printing class

I went to Gocco printing workshop last Saturday.
I picked one of Milky's drawing (http://milkteets.blogspot.com)

for my gocco print. It turned out really good.
Gocco printing is easy and fun. I can't wait to get my own Gocco kit to make more design and crads.:)

Gocco~Rocks!!

Save Whales

TInternational moratorium

Japan kills more than 1,000 whales a year in the Antarctic and also the Pacific Ocean using a loophole in an international moratorium that allows catching whales for research.

Only Norway and Iceland defy the moratorium outright.

This year, Japan is expanding the catch to include 50 humpback whales, which are celebrated for their complex songs and acrobatic displays.

The expedition also plans to kill 50 fin whales - the world's second largest animal after blue whales - as well as 850 smaller minke whales.

ABC News

This is the sad news I've been watching these day. I feel so sad about those innocent whales. Humpback whales was one of the animal being marked as "in danger".Finally their populations have recovered, but cruel Japanese people are hunting them again for their "Science Research"?!
I am too mad to write about any commoms.
If you want to know more infos, you can check the link I post

Clouds update

I finally finshed the pink cloud. Half way for the grey cloud. I need to make some rain drops to go with the grey cloud. Hopfully, it will turn out good.

Really need to get the sewing machine working. I want to make more dolls and faster!
