It never seems to end does it? Recently i been planning my to do list. and my schedule. It really takes alot of time to finish one agenda. Haiz.. trying to strike off one item from the list is so technically demanding LOL>.

anyway i just finished my 4th set of jewelry. not really to what i expected. especially i think i bought the wrong paper and turn out the printing is kinda pale. I hope she will like it. And there might have too many folds which makes the patterns looks faded off.

It is believed that dried Peony roots are carved or made into bracelets and necklaces for protection as well as for breaking spells and curses. A chain of beads cut from the dried root was worn as a protection against illness and injury, and to cure insanity.

brand and name

24Feb10

I am troubled with words/ meaning. Names or adjectives. haha

i am thinking of using the name emer.

Emer – Irish and Gaelic origin. Anglicised form of traditional names Eimer or Émer. In Irish legend, Emer was a woman blessed with six gifts or virtues: beauty, voice, speech, needlework, wisdom and chastity.

Paeonia Emer – sounds good? haha

Thalia – It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is “flourishing”.

Aglaia -goddess name meaning beauty

Euphosyne – goddess name meaning charm,

Reflection after 19th Feb presentation

24Feb10

I don’t know why i have such a feeling that i have not reach the stage of enlightenment. To me, not enough. Not yet.

Maybe that is why it hadn’t made in impression to others. I should have made a larger impact. I made a promise to myself not to let myself down anymore, but HOW?

I am quite stuck with my copywriting now. As everybody knows, i can’t write! now having to say, i need to put everything down in a paragraph, and next into 1-2 words (i am talking about my brand name here).

I talked to suzy about my future plans for my project. About applying my concept into every other thing. She exclaimed that that the same as her’s.

I felt quite affected by her reaction. I knew subtly it is not the same. But i doesn’t like the similarity.

I went out to took some pictures of current window display and branding ideas.

i realised that it is about how established the brand it, that the current design might be ugly there still a market. They can afford to play.

Flowery Fiat

The Flower Council of Holland has commissioned Arne Quinze, Fredrikson Stallard, Karim Rashid, Studio Job and Arik Levy (all famous names in the design industry) to design 5 New Fiat 500’s. The catch is that they had to design them using flower so as to raise the awareness of the uses of cut flowers. It sounds kind of odd, but the results of the finished, flowery, Fiat’s are quite mesmerizing. Not too sure they would be safe driving around town with the flower petals flying in your face. Neat concept and pretty unique use for flowers.
