Whisper to Lace-Praise for Coco



 

After watching the film of “Coco Before Chanel”,

I found Coco is fortitudinous and nothing can defeat

her indomitable spirit.  Furthermore, her independent

spirit is mirrored in the design, she get rid of the

contemporary garb to create her own fashion style and finally

obtain her place in the world.

 

Her story inspires people to never give up their wish…

 

Whisper to Lace-Anna Butterfly



 

Why are people attracted to Anna Sui’s fashion? 

Because of her every sweet, feminine , and girly aspect.

But I am attracted by her romantic purple color and butterfly….

Whisper to Lace-Autumn Scene



 

While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,

And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;

Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn

Among the river sallows, borne aloft

Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies……..

 

                        ~~ John Keats ~~

Whisper to Lace-Archaic Beauty



 

I love beauteous things, to nourish the dry spirit;

I love vintage things, to listen he narrates the past old story;

I seize both of them through interlaced thread…..

Whisper to Lace-Golden Age (Bracelet)



 

Once out of nature I shall never take

My bodily form from any natural thing,

But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make

Of hammered gold and gold enameling

To keep a drowsy Emperor awake;

Or set upon a golden bough to sing

To lords and ladies of Byzantium

Of what is past, or passing, or to come.

 

                        ~~W. B. Yeats~~

First order from US


 

Finally, I completed the package of ring and delivered it via international

registered airmail yesterday morning.  This is the first order from US, that

encourage me very much to do the lace creation business continually, never

give up what I want to do........

 

I think God is very kind to me, everytime when I hesitate to hold on the lace

creation business, he will bring some light to direct me to go, do not easily to

give up the dream........

 

For the package, it took around half day, I hand made most of components (except

for the tag), such as care instruction, premium, stuff,......I will re-do it if there was

anything to not be satisfied with me, I want buyer can feel that it is not just a beautiful

jewelry, but a jewelry with love and life........

 

Husband teased me "you will be hard to make money if you took so much time to do

the package for every order!"    "Yes, but never mind, I want every buyer to be happy

when they received my works." I thought.

 

I love all of items I made, of course, I want everyone who buy my works will love the

item they bought as me.........

After rain……..

Highly expect the coming of light,

Plants change their color to become bright,

To hug the Sun after a long separation……

Whisper to Lace-Taj Mahal

 

 

You allowed your kingly power to vanish, Sha-jahan,

but your wish was to make imperishable a tear-drop of love.

 

Time has no pity for the human heart,

he laughs at its sad struggle to remember.

 

You allured him with beauty, made him captive,

and crowned the formless death with fadeless form.

 

The secret whispered in the hush of night to

the ear of your love is wrought in the perpetual

silence of stone.

 

Though empires crumble to dust,

and centuries are lost in shadows,

the marble still sighs to the stars, "I remember."

 

"I remember." — But life forgets,

for she has her call to the Endless:

and she goes on her voyage unburdened,

leaving her memories to the forlorn forms of beauty.

 

~~Rabindranath Tagore~~

Whisper to Lace-Playing With Butterfly (Earnings)

Whisper to Lace-Lady with Fan


 

Staring at Klimt’s paint “ Lady with Fan”,

How beautiful she is! How charming she is!

How should I do to capture the aesthetic feel of her?????.........

 

 

Wedding Blessing for May


 


This is new design for friend’s wedding party, my friend is tall and slender,

her personality is not submissive with the common practice, so I want to do

something different and unique piece for her.

 

Irish crochet lace collocates with the beaded tassel, it will create the splendid

and stylish look.  Per the past experiences, the good idea may not be

realized easily, how to say……take this item for example, I would like to

compose the lace motif with beaded tassel, however, the lace work is very

soft and cannot hold up any heavy pendants, so I re-do 3 times for changing

the beads type, and beads volume even the lace frame has been strengthen.

Frustration is full of the whole re-doing process, I almost give up such idea upon

re-doing the last changing for beading.  Eventually, it is done and presents the

exactly aspect I want. ~~ Beautiful!!!!~~

 

If you ask me: Why do you like to do the lace jewelry creation?  I will say:  Because

of its great achievement, I will forget all of the pain when I see and touch the beautiful

lace work.

Whisper to Lace-Lost Empire



Visiting the National Palace Museum ,

look those invaluable gems left by the past empires,

empires have been prosperous and powerful,

but they gone away as meteorite…….

Remembering the poem of Keats, it said:

 

“Those days are gone away,

And their hours are old and gray,

And their minutes buried all

Under the down-trodden pall

Of the leaves of many years………….”

                                        ~~John Keats~~

Whisper to Lace-Solo Mio (Earrings)


“O Solo Mio” is a globally known Neapolitan song written in 1898. 

It is one of my favorite songs, every time, when its melody sound,

as if the wind breeze over my face ………….

 

Neapolitan lyrics

Che bella cosa e' na jurnata 'e sole

n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!

Pe' ll'aria fresca pare già na festa

Che bella cosa e' na jurnata 'e sole

Ma n'atu sole,

cchiù bello , oje ne'

'O sole mio

sta 'nfronte a te!

'O sole, 'o sole mio

sta 'nfronte a te!

sta 'nfronte a te!

Quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne,

me vene quase 'na malincunia;

sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria

quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne.

Ma n'atu sole,

cchiù bello , oje ne'

'O sole mio

sta 'nfronte a te!

'O sole, 'o sole mio

sta 'nfronte a te!

sta 'nfronte a te!

 

 

English translation

What a beautiful thing is a sunny day,

The air is serene after a storm

The air's so fresh that it already feels like a celebration

What a beautiful thing is a sunny day

But another sun,

that's brighter still

It's my own sun

that's upon your face!

The sun, my own sun

It's upon your face!

It's upon your face!

When night comes and the sun has gone down,

I almost start feeling melancholy;

I'd stay below your window

When night comes and the sun has gone down.

But another sun,

that's brighter still

It's my own sun

that's upon your face!

The sun, my own sun

It's upon your face!

It's upon your face!

Whisper to Lace-Elf (Earring)



Whisper to Lace-Flower & Leaf (Earrings)





New try for Lace earring.

Passing through the cold and wet winter,

new life is shown to celebrate the spring coming………………

 

Blue sky,

Warm sunshine,

Verdant grass,

Birds dance on the bough,

Kids laughing are out from the park,

 

They just try to tell us-------Spring, Spring, Spring……….

Whisper to Lace-Autumn Leaves (Ring)


 




 

The falling leaves drift by the window

The autumn leaves of red and gold

I see your lips, the summer kisses

The sun-burned hands I used to hold

 

Since you went away, the days grow long

And soon, I’ll hear old winter’s song

But I’ll miss you most of all, my darling,

When autumn leaves start to fall

 

                        ~~Lyrics of “Autumn Leaves”~~

**Originally came from French song "Les feuilles mortes"
