我大概是不適合生活在城市的。

我大概是不適合生活在城市的。

先是電腦病了, 然後到我。

頭一次真切感覺到污染的嚴重 (之前的都只是感覺到, 現在是觸得到的可怕)
首先是眼睛敏感, 到臉頰, 再來重感冒。全身乏力, 腰酸背痛。

累呀。

想找個地方逃出去。

逃到樹熊星去。至少有得訓下。

Made these two little stamp a few days ago.

Ai ya...I lost all the back-up files today...so sad...maybe a ghost has stolen them all away...

我身體內的新成員

中秋節吃了很了很多的月餅, 過完中秋後牙肉有點痛楚。

本來以為是吃掉太多雜食的後遺症, 直至有天發現牙肉上多了一點小小的異物, 弄來弄去才知道身體有個新成員要來了((幸好未有聽聞牙肉會生癌-_-"))

某位長了智齒的人說長智齒智慧就跑出來...還說自己16歲就儲好一套4款...喎

我一邊嗯嗯嗯一邊想智慧搞不好一長出來就遇水化掉像大白兔糖的米紙

也許該吃些大白兔糖補番下。

MINI STAMP!

It's interesting that most of the Japanese artists have mini signature stamps in around 1cmx1cm.

I also tried to make one yesterday night when I was free:-)

I made this stamp during night time, so it was a bit hard for me to see all the lines very clearly when I hand carved it. Let me try another with finer line in the day time sin, haha.

中秋節快樂!

祝大家過了一過快樂的中秋節!

suddenly, he fall asleep.

The screen suddenly turned blue, and then black. No responses afterwards.
My notebook go to bed suddenly on Wednesday night.

Luckily, he was not so sleepy and wake up at the end.
Thanks my dad for waking him up.;-) I hope he won't fall asleep again...

my little gift

Got these last Sunday during Tsubuan Stamp's Demonstration. He did a "big cat moon" card for me which is very "mid-autumn festival". I just think I am like the little cat in the card, looking at his DEMO like looking at the moon?!

And you may also see the stamp he made during additional DEMO section. Very nice!

Thank you! Tsuban Stamp!

"Do you hand carve stamps every day? Do you feel tired of it?"
"This is my job. And I love it."

As I do not speak any Japanese, we can only communicate with simple English. But I can feel his passion towards stamp carving and his professionalism of being an artist.

He is a very nice and kind person who loves to share what he likes with the others. We had had a good time for art exchange!

Thanks you for giving us such a good demonstration of stamp carving and the professionalism of an artist!

給TSUBUAN STAMP 的禮物

日本人眼中的中國風?!
我想除了杏仁豆腐和芒果布甸外, 中式飲茶也算是吧。呵呵。

我很幸運, 因為我遇上了你。

我家有一個孩子, 叫TOFFEE, 是我的寶貝。
不知是否因為出生不久便被我們帶了回家的關係, 這孩子特別愛黏人, 行為也不像正常的兔子。喜歡霸佔主人的睡床打側身睡眠, 聽見別人談論自己時豎起耳朵。

每次凝視著這孩子, 我都覺得對他有很大的虧欠。
他的生命，就只有一個主人。我能做的, 就是讓他每一天開心的過。

希望我可以有更多更多的時間, 陪你在一起。
讓你知道我很幸福, 因為我遇上了你。

昨天

匆匆上上海, 又匆匆回來了。
三小時的機程太倉促, 還來不及把上海的氣味吹散。
身處風雨交加的香港, 忽然有點掛念昨天的我。

今年的上海比以往清潔了很多, 很明顯下了很多的功夫。希望下次來探望你的時候不是走馬看花。

Mum! Look at my new ear ring

Mum! Look at my new ear ring!

**I did this silver ring last week when I took a silver ring lesson in a local handmade studio.
It's my first time of having this kind of class. It was quite a fun experience, but very tiring.

我的雨天

今天是雨天。

我喜歡雨天, 因為我喜歡樹木被雨水洗刷後的清新氣味, 還有濕潤空氣的那股透明感。
我還依稀記得小學那一本文字推理上, 有這樣的一題:
EG. 晴天 配 熱鬧和海灘
雨天 配 __________

我已經記不起當時的我選了入什麼, 不過今天我想挑悠閒和家中。
悠閒在家中清空家中的雜物, 真是一個好活動;

然後 我看見桌上有些沒用的玻璃瓶,
然後 我想可以留著別浪費,
然後 我打算用印章在上面印些東西,
然後 我想可以試試做白色以外的顏色,

然後 我外出買了兩支新的印墨,

結果 東西沒整理好, 反而多了。
.

不過 好在這兩支墨, 顏色靚。

I am back!

Finally came back from Japan yesterday morning!

My brain is now full of new designs elements, cannot stop running.@_@

2010 July - Rabbitoffee Collection - Walking in the summer garden

Hi everyone! Here is the latest collection of Rabbitoffee.

I would like to bring everybody a colourful and happy collection with a lot of image of small animals and insects.

I named this collection “Walking in the summer garden”. That means all my inspirations comes from my imagination of a summer garden, hope you feel a bit fresher when you see these lovely colours and images!

I tried lines in different thickness this time, you may discover that those little animals (pig, rabbit, fox) come with stronger lines while those little insects comes with finer lines.

The collection will be available at Petit Morpho from 18th July onwards, if you would like to have a closer look at them, please visit:

To Ashley

Dear Ashley in 2010,

I find this anniversary stamp in the bottom of your drawer when I was tidying up my room today.

I am happy to see your improvement in lines of your stamps. However, please put more effort in exploring new dimension in handmade. I really hope that you could bring me some surprise in the coming future. And one more point, I really hope that you will not throw you stamps here and there again in the future. I don't want to see your stamp in the bottom of the drawer again.

Yours,

Ashley in 2009

NEW HANDMADE MARKET?!

I used to be happy when I discover new website and blogs making original handmade in the past. Not only do I appreciate the techniques and designs of the handmade crafts, but also the "heart" and effort behind each and every piece.

No matter who the artist is, no matter what the handmade is.

However, I found quite a lot of so called"handmade" shop popping up these days, claiming that they are selling original products and designs, including handmade materials all over the world. But at the end... I usually found those products very similar to what I have seen from other overseas artists, or even local artists.

It's very sad, but true.

Copy cats usually claim that they are just inspired by certain artists or that is just coincidence.
In fact, it's pointless to defense for yourself with these points. Whenever somebody says that you are very alike with someone, there is already something wrong.

Is it really that hard to behave oneself of not copying the others? I don't think so.

Please respect yourself. And respect the others.

Oh I am a little bit nervous!

I am a little bit nervous after knowing the arrival of my rubber stamp certificate kit package.
This package is much much more difficult than the one that I had last time and requires more in depth knowledge in rubber stamp hand carving.
I am looking forward to receiving my huge parcel.:-P

HIDE AND SEEK!

Having fun?

Versa Magic!

I have just received these lovely stamp pad in a total o 18 colours in these few days~J

Too lovely too own!

The pigment of these stamp pad could be applied on to the leather stamps easily~OH~very nice!:-)

SOFT PASTELS!

Longing for this box of pastels for years and I have finally got it.

Love the texture and colour hues so much!

leather stamp!

I am very keen on playing this kind of leather rubber stamp these days!

After a few experiments during the ester holidays, I am now brave enough to show my new works to all of you. It takes me some time to be familiar with the texture of this new material as it is much harder then normal rubber board. However, the incredible extra fine lines and smooth surfaces are too amazing. Like what another handmade artist Dakiki said ‘It makes me addicted to it!’... yes…its very ture…

I have to make one before I sleep every night now…it’s like drug…~_~

Don’t try that if you have not started yet…

a certificate

This very cute certificate is a rubber stamps hand carving certificate issued by Hinodewashi Co., Ltd in Japan. I have received a well marked “examination paper” together with this certificate! The exam paper full of comments hand written by the examination (in red!)! It looks as serious as the mid-term examination I had ever taken!

This is the first time for me to have this kind of examination and I was deeply impressed by the professionalism of Japanese. I appreciate their persistence towards perfection to each and every little part in their daily life.

And after acquiring the basic level rubber stamps hand carving certificate, I am going to take the intermediate and upper level exam soon. Good luck to me~

Get Dreams!

I am not a person who is good at numbers. That’s why I always like to see real money in hand more than numbers on the bank statements.

To me, it’s kind of fun to save money in a little coin can. As I never count how many coins I have put in it, I am always surprised by the can when I open it. And I love to add colours to my life which is usually a little bit dull by these little surprises.It is more than happy to use the money to buy a little gift to myself, my family or the one I loved.

I bought this coin can last week, and I was very impressed by the words “Get dreams” on it. Because I can imagine when I put my coins in it, I am like saving a little bit of my dream and getting closer and closer to it. Closer and closer…then, I know… I could finally reach it.

An Experiment

I have brought some coloured hot glue some times ago, but have no time to play with them. And today I have a chance to do experiment with them! Oh~ I am so excited!

At First, I want to stamp on the melted hot glue and shape the glue... However... I totally failed...and I damaged my hand carved stamp...OMG...I have not even used it once T^T
Poor stamp, Mama will miss you.

I was so depressed when I "kill" my stamp, so I squeezed out all the leftover melted glue on papers.
Accidentally, they appear very cute, like little rain drops. Haha.

Should I be happy for it? :-)

My Little Stamp Rocord Book

I didn't use to record what I have hand carved in the past, but I have started this new habit this year.

I have found a little self-adhesive photo album in brown for my work record. The album is made of brown paper with raw handmade feeling, together with a hard cover(like library books) which would not curl easily.

Every time when I finish a new design, I could choose my favorite colour and stamp it on a piece of paper separately. I no longer need to be afraid that the whole album would be ruined when I chop the stamp at a improper position. :-) (too happy with it! I could have a good sleep tonight)

最近忙的事

上上星期收到了這個!*人* 就是日本的刻印章資格考試的工具組!!!耶!!!


是一個十分可愛的盒子呢, 上面有不同的印章圖案。急不及待開了來看...

有刻印章說明書, 刻印章用的基本工具, 及日本印章用橡皮膠三大塊! 是三大塊!!!

雖然基本的用具我都有了, 但是這套工具也不是一般的美! 你看!那白色的筆刀多可愛!!! 真想立刻丟了我那醜醜的筆刀 /^\。

但是想著想著, 最後我也捨不得拆開這些工具來用, 結果只拿了橡皮膠來做考試的印章。
原來我也是一個節儉的好孩子呀(笑)。

關於債務

對於時常更新網誌的人, 我是十分佩服的。因為...

更新網誌這回事, 是十分困難的。尤其對於不善辭令的我來說更是一件苦差。

每次下定決心要更新的時候, 總是不能持之以恆。 找來很多很多的理由, 推說沒話好說啦電腦沒倉頡字碼啦沒有陽光不能拍照啦上班太忙啦睏啦沒心情啦, 諸如此類。
我曾經向人討教, 也嘗試強迫自己, 但都失敗。

別人說: 很想知道你的動向, 快更新吧。

我說: 好呀。
卻始終無動於衷。

像一個太過古舊的大鐘, 漸漸的停下來了。於是別人也再不叫我了。

也許我也實在是太懶了點呢。

悠閒不是不好, 只是我也悠閒了過久的時間。

也許是時候再上發條, 運動一下呢。

至於欠下未寫的網誌, 就在未來的日子慢慢補回吧。唔 *人*
