A tiny farewell fasion show

Album Link: 2.5D Bookmarks - Cloth

I'm leaving again, and this time I don't know when I will come back.

Tangram Insprations

Anyway, I bought some papers with beautiful colors and patterns. These papers were meant to be made in different tangram patterns, but the outcome wasn't not pleasant enough; thus I decided to turn to another direction.

2.5D Bookmarks - Vase

 Someday when I was attending the online course of A Course In Light (ACIL) (Planetary 8 Mint Green), I took the leftover of the beautiful papers with flower patterns and started to cut them into different shapes of vases. The work was so beautiful that I even intended to sell it as a collection.


Several weeks later, when I was taking ACIL (Planetary 9 Introduction) and I thought....I'm leaving again, and as usual, I want to make some goodbye-gifts to some people...I want this to be a special, beautiful, and useful gift...well...I did make some collections of clothes and bags; why not do that again?

Inspired by my own clothes, I made 15 pieces of tops/pants/skirts in the end. When I took picture (using my new camera Nikon P310) for them, it was just like a tiny fashion show, and God knows that I really love to match them into different styles...just like I do to myself everyday~

Farewell again. Each piece is hidden with a blessing from Archangel Oracle Cards; may all the people getting the handmade bookmark a happy life!!

I thought it's boring to just give out the pieces alone, so I decided to put clothes on them...literally.

In one afternoon, I sat in the cafeteria of our company, and pocketed each cloth-style bookmark into custom-made T-shirt-shaped frame which I made, decorated with the paper tapes I lent from Shirley.

The outcomes turned out great, and the farewell gifts became more memorable...at least that's what I think :P

Now, this is the real goodbye. Hope my 15 ex-coworkers can preserve my gifts for long :)

Butterflies' colorful party

Yesterday was the Christmas day; the sun finally showed and it was a good day for going out. However I chose to sit in front of my desk and made lots of paper butterflies.

The idea came from three days ago (last Friday), when I went to a school to read (actually acted) a story to first-grade children. The story was about an animal in the forest, who had a bad mood. Thus my pals and I decided to impersonate an animal each, and asked the kids to do the same.

My first choice was bunny, which was always the animal on top of my head when being asked to pick one.

We were also asked to make our own name tags, so my idea was to fold an origami rabbit and attach it to the name tag. However, for some reason, the name tag was already full of butterfly-shaped holes when I realized (I bought a butterfly-shaped hole puncher in Japan). Thus...I have no choice but use cute butterfly as my role, and hence made an origami butterfly as the attached symbol.

The activity was a huge success. The kids loved me, and loved my origami butterfly as well. Actually I even made some extra butterflies for the kids in the end that day.

I couldn't forget how much fun it was to fold those butterflies for the kids, which stirred up the idea that why not finding out all the different ways to make butterfly origami, and really folding them out just like different butterfly species?

No sooner said than done; I picked the color papers and started to fold varied colorful butterflies. By the evening, I had made 12 different "species" of butterflies; some of them have the same "root" of course. I put them at the flowers (some of them are also origami) and took lots of pictures. And finally I arranged them in the box I made...then a beautiful butterfly specimen exhibition was done!! Aren't they vivid?
