BARRY'S FABRIC SUPERSTORE

and also some other big brooches waitting for me to finish the back pin part.

here's some inspiration of my recent pieces

Karesansui gardens

Karesansui gardens (枯山水) or "dry landscape” gardens were influenced mainly by Zen Buddhism and can be found at Zen temples of meditation (Japan Guide). Unlike other traditional gardens, there is no water present in Karesansui gardens. However, there is raked gravel or sand that simulates the feeling of water. The rocks or gravel used are chosen for their artistic shapes, and mosses as well as small shrubs are used to further garnish the Karesansui style (Japanese Lifestyle). All in all, the rocks and moss are used to represent ponds, islands, boats, seas, rivers, and mountains in an abstract way (Japan Guide). - Example: Ryōan-ji, temple in Kyoto, has a garden famous for representing this style. Daisen-in, created in 1513, is also particularly renowned.

inspiration

V&A MUSEUM, LONDON

Through the glass jewelry organic and abstract form to express the irregular and oddity nature, the color of transparent glass express the smallness and fragility of life, blossom and fall presented in the same jewelry, reflecting the traces of the life and its fleeting, to remind people cherishing and reflect on the meaning of life.

so, my most recent work:

and also some glass elements test:

just busy about the Report that we have to hand in next week after that, I'll spend all my effort on the design part.
