New vs Old

{Photo: Raffle by ju ju be}

I am very happy that I will be joining a craft show on Oct 30, 2010 (Sat) at the lovely Amor Workshop again.

I have been a little tied up with the creative work lately. Promotion seems being neglected. I am finding a new way to express my experience from Edinburgh, both emotionally and technically.

I am striking for a WOW. My husband and friends have been very nice to re-affirmed me that my original works are good enough.

I am an awkward girl. I do not liaise with others. I do not join the art scene. I just stay at home and wait for the muse. My mind just crumbled. I need a NEW me. And hopefully you will see a new jujube. Thus a deadline is needed. Thank god.

Btw, shop will be re-launch followed by the market on Nov 1.

Spring Market @ Amor Workshop

Not sure if you have tired to see similar photos of me next to my handmade booth :P

I will keep on doing this as

1) to record my handmade life

2) to meet more handmade lovers

3) to encourage others to appreciate the value of handmade

Yes, I have highly glory goals. ha ha

For No. 3, it is also an ethical question. People often view handmade goods are slightly over priced. Let's turn the table. Beading takes time and effort. It requires detailed work of skillful hands and creative mind. Generally, there are 2-3 pieces of trails before I made the perfect one. I have hided so many experimental pieces under my jewelry desk. If I spent the time on handmade by working at McDonald's, I would earn more. How pathetic it is.

Your little purchase is my encouragement to carry on! Thank you :)

Some more snaps. More photos on my facebook fan page!

Crafty Hearts

I am preparing for the upcoming craft fair. As it is a Valentine's Day Market, I plan to have some little hearts as embellishment. It is so fun to make it with Hearty Clay and have these little crafty hearts.

It can be a charm on the gift, a bookmark, or even a tiny card. I did not make a lot of it. I still have to cut out all those earrings cards and sort out the packaging matter.

緊張的jujube

看到Billie 那邊大家都努力準備星期日的 Pokfulam Market, 我既興奮又緊張! 興奮是原來有這麼多香港人都喜歡handmade, 緊張是我的首飾會有人喜歡嗎? 雖然我好喜歡beading, 也不想蝕本回家。

今次的collection我都十分喜歡，因為小店的生意都ok, 有了信心造一些香港比較少的手造首飾的物料, 例如14k金絲, 純銀絲, 藍晶 (aquamarine), 紅寶石(ruby), 玫瑰石英rose quartz等，加上我從網上搜羅的vintage Italian lockets, 銅製小珠﹑charms。

平日無fashion sense的老公都會走過「看多一眼」=)

不知道你會來看看嗎?

More info here.

Are you free next Sunday?

There will be an amazing event at Cyberport the coming Sunday i.e. Nov 1. Organic products and handmade goodies will be sold during the market. More info here.

*Market may be cancelled in case of rain. (Finger cross!)

Boys, you may have a nice cold beer, sit on the green with your love ones

Girls, dress up, take some beautiful photos and do some shopping :)

Friends, I will be there. Come and visit me and my lovely creations ♥

Please fall in love with ME

續五月的peak galleria, 我終鼓起勇氣再參加pokfulam market。閉門造車了數個月, 今次的作品

的主題都是dainty glit, 精緻的閃爍的 :) 和for keepsake! 大部分的作品都是從US入口的14k gold, 意大利的bass charms, 都是用心的作品, 充滿秋意。希望blog友有時間都來逛逛。我還會demo hammering metal, wire wrapping等技巧。

I am very proud to announce my 2nd craft fair will be taken off on Nov 1, 2009!

I have prepared a new collection which is inspired with the mood of fall (or autumn in English), harvesting colors, high quality of 14k gold with detailed hammering work, leaves and feathers, luscious pearls and gemstones, dainty accessories for your perfect outfits at events and celebrations.

So please FALL in Love with JU JU BE! More details of the market, please click here.

They Star!

It is grateful that knowing there are many more handmade artists in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, I am not available to join them due to prior family issue.

They Star!
