Lovely OOTD by wearing top up-sized/spliced with matched & patchworked inserts coming from production offcuts...

More fun in the making...

recent works in progress or otherwise, including:
1. textile marker ink on linen .sg top, inspired by CNY fireworks
2. textile marker ink on 10-year-old cotton top from another local biz, trying for Impressionist vibes (have you seen That Blockbuster Exhibition yet?)
3. more crochet for therapy (attempting to complete 4 projects simultaneously, very overly ambitious, but still fun to upcycle what were a couple of "Christmas wreaths" into currypuff babies, plus 2 other "targets")
.. and trying to figure out the future as usual...

what's keeping your mind and hands busy these days?

perhaps absence is also performative and constructive

a multi dimensional existence for one and all

maybe i want to live where the fireworks never die

where the music always plays

and silence is a safe haven instead

after a decade long dry spell, the poetry seems to be coming back... it's a nice feeling

spending some time withdrawing from the mad mad world to focus on making what the heart wants

tell me what your heart desires, dear friend
and let me wrap my thoughts around it in a loving embrace

These beaded babies were a long long time in the making, and not without some internal conflict from the start (probably still ongoing).

Many have asked why I do not add bling and bead the yarncraft accessories, and my longstanding standard response was: "For durability, the accessories need to withstand wash and wear, people generally do not want to handwash, many just want to throw their textile-based wearable into the washing machine.

Also, mixing materials will affect aftersales repair, as well as end-of-life recycling and upcycling processing. I still hold myself responsible for the products I put out into the world with the product-lifetime repair guarantee."

I'll spare you the various (occasionally aggressive) responses to this user-oriented and product-lifecycle-considered design decision.

So why start beading again after a decade of avoidance?

It was not any breaking point that finally made beading happen, but rather an epiphany that the process itself was a different kind of slow, steady meditating on why making and caring for fragile things is meaningful.

(Now that's a whole other philosophical conversation!)

Of course, the different semi-precious stones, branded crystals, pearls, recycled glass, precious woods, and other random blingy bits from the personal hoard finally get to see light of day after years of being hidden away.

It was quite a wondrous time pairing the various stones with the recycled denim, recycled silk, Tencel and recycled cotton shoelace yarns in a new material experiment of sorts, trying to find new harmonies/compositions.

Then came some encouragement from the lovely Clara of to enable me to release these (there are only 11 pieces for now) into the big bad world, so do look for them instore at #01-09 Claymore Connect. (Congrats Nyana Nyana on the new location!)

BTW, celebrates its 7th Anniversary and new store opening this weekend 31st Jan, we'll be there, hope to see you too!

retreating back to meditative making
rethinking definitions of progress and growth
reflecting on suffering, destruction, and afterlife

what's the future, how, and why

do, or do not?

Birthdays are for Bucket List Shenanigans!
With lovely Liz & Shirin of .sg, setting up indigo vat babies currently kind of feels like having dependents, except they make things all kinds of blue, are relatively quiet, and don't keep asking you for money to buy crap...🤣

Liz is already accusing me of being a neglectful parent to babies Robert & Candy
