Rainbow flower - make a wish...

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:26:07 +0100

Do you still remember the story about rainbow flower? Zhenya's birthday ring-doughnuts was eaten by a puppy, but she got a rainbow flower from a fairy.

I love that story so I designed the rainbow flower magnetic clips. Every time you use a petal to leave message of airproof something you can make a wish.

It’s better to model it like a real flower, I think. But I’m tired to Alias it... so just show a simple line drawing this time.

The point is don’t stop wish, no matter it come true or not...always keep a wish in you pocket, it’ll cheer you up at least.

Everything about LOVE

I’d like to call this boy&girl pattern Lux & Bunny, cause the cartoon figures stand for my bf and me. It’s 6 year ago when I first designed the figures as my bf’s birthday gift. I blent wire into that shape and enlace it with caddice.

2009 is the tenth year since I and my bf knew each other. So I designed a series of card-case in memory of our 10 years.

Rabbit Cup - An Easter gift from bunny

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 16:31:55 +0000

Wow, A rabbit in my cup! Grab its ears and pull it out!
It's hard to reach its ears? Poke underneath first. And pull its little round tail to keep rabbit stay in your cup.

I'm curious that what's your first thought about this rabbit cup. Stupid or interesting? I think its interesting but stupid as well. At beginning, I wanna design a cup that easy to clean. So a silicon lining came up to my mind, and the rabbit was there so that you can turn inside out--to clean it. But now I notice that silicon is even harder to clean, and the dirtiest part is the rabbit!

So, this is how I lose all the function parts of a product. However, this cup is still funny for this season. Please enjoy it as a easter gift, and don't make fun of me any more...

BTW, I get more inspiration about this kind of things. I'll show you something else soon.

A tiny black cat saw spring on my desk. Yeah... the world is so big for him...so the spring.

I made this clay cat 2 or 3 years ago as a gift for my bf. He bring him to Belfast. And now I finally saw him again and live together with him.

Happy Bean friends

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:06:55 +0000

This series of jadeite decorations is designed for RICH JADE, Taibei, as souvenirs for their customers. RICH JADE has no strict demands for design, but they want something different from traditional jade design. Tough, jade naturally has a connection with Chinese culture. There’s more we can explore.

I only use simple bean-shape jadeite and join it with fostered silver 925 to capture the adorable modern feeling.
Each piece of Happy Bean Friends is carefully designed and added with an unique feature.

Elephant swings its ear when he feels happy. Butterfly gets more freedom for her wings. Litter bear may turn his face while something interesting happened. And bird will always stands peacefully on top of the page you’ll read next day.

Dance inside rainbow,
Turn around,
And,
Hop,hop,hop.

In Memory of Wedding

This classic Garfield cartoon is co-produced with Zhang, Nan, before her husband’s birthday.

I love reading!

I created this oil painting when I visited an artist’s studio. At that time, he was focusing on painting a crowd of toy rabbits. That’s why I picked up a bunny, and let them have a ‘reading time’ in a peaceful and sweet afternoon. Right, I like reading, setting free my mind and dreams come true...

It feels sooooooo nice when you squeeze the paints, mix them, and put them on to canvas, with knife! Yeah, knife will give you more confidence to create things rather than ‘draw’ a picture.

That’s my first oil painting, but I only have this small picture taken by mobile phone!

Dog-mask Dices

Thu, 12 May 2005 22:14:45 +0100

The dices and the seat are hand-cut by Lux. It is orientally designed as a gift for Jin, Jing. Since dice is always a golden tool to solve affairs within the love. As God says: Trying to convince your belover his/her fool is stupid.

The fun part is that the seat of dices is a cat face, but it appears as dog with the dices(when 5 5). As such, the dice is so-called “Dog-mask”.
