a rainy HK

a serene day...

I always like rainy days, especially rainy days in Hong Kong. It always washes off the heat, the dirt and the noise.

It's a wrap.

I came out with this to summarise what I have learnt and done in semester 1. It is not only a wrap that literally wrap up the paper works I have made, it also represents my happy paper journey. I have been copying other great designers or artists' works, learning and studying their amazing creations, and finally, I am able to use what I have learnt and make it to my own. The wrap is folded with one big square sheet (540x540mm), and all the patterns are cut by hands. It contains 2 pop-up cases which hold documentary photographs of the paper works.
Sometimes I really amaze my last-minute potential (even though this is not something good to be proud of...) From designing, photographing, retouching, printing, cutting to putting everything together, I really pulled the whole thing off in 3 days with very limited sleep, of course. Because it is so last-minute that I didn't get to photograph the interior, I will put it up once I have it back.
So, it's a wrap.

meteor shower

I guess this is a little treat for my pathetic essay writing week,
I finally got to touch my camera and did some happy random snaps.
Honours is fun, casual and very independent, but it also makes you feel lost and stressed very easily. 2 more days to go, and I only have 1 day left to get the whole thing done...wish me luck

Essay

My eyes tend to look at things I don't like first...
and I found a book with a stylish cover called the Art of Quilling while the book hunting for essay. Arh!! The paper quilling looks so nice, but I can't spend too much time on it at this stage.
I am still being tortured by essay...

I've got my artist book done!

and I found something interesting...

Hummingbird

I finally got Origami Design Secrets by Robert Lang after waiting for a month. The person who had this book before me must be having a good time (or a hard time) of doing the origami. This hummingbird is definitely the hardest origami I have ever made. I can't imagine how hard the creation was... Robert Lang is a crazy physicist and origami genius.

Stripy

I was doing some strips printings for my artist book assignment and they turned out fine. After finishing the printing, Micheal told me to print couple more times with scrap papers to use up the ink so it would be easier for cleaning. This is what I came out with. I think I like this most...
