new owner

I give my clothing to my sis once in a while. I didn't have a chance to wear this dress at all after I bought it and it went to my sister's closet. I forgot to check who the designer was, but it is worn by my sister in front of Kyoto fruits shop now!

at sushi counter

It's a cucumber on the sushi counter. You sip sake and pick the cucumber as nibblies.

lacy ring

This was the first ring I sold to a store about five years ago.  I still remember that it took hours to take this photo with a tiny digital camera.  Not me, my husband did it by the way.  We argued so much during this photo shoot, I even cried, but it turned out a beautiful photo I think.  

Whenever I see this piece, I remember when I started out.

Creating something is both lengthy and time consuming process.  It's sometimes so overwhelming and you don't know what to do anymore.  But I just try to think, left foot first and right foot next - just one step at a time.

tea break

Today a lady offered me a half of her chocolate at a casting company.  I wanted to cut sweets off, but I just couldn't refuse it.  I found this picture in my iphone; a pumpkin cheesecake on my knee on the street in Soho, in front of irresistible Balthazar.  Whenever I go out to work I think I have a cup of tea and something.  Especially in winter...why cold winds make me want a cup of coffee and a short cake?

because I love what I am doing

Today I encountered a guy who were playing beautiful spanish guitar music in a subway train.  His music was just so beautiful and kept me completely riveted.  Just by hearing it, I could tell that he truly loved playing his guitar.  He was very relaxed sitting on a plastic seat, and created amazing music.  I think it's the strongest thing that you work on something because you love it.  It was my fist time to see someone playing music at subway not for money.

Coming back to Brooklyn, I watched Project Runway.  I love seeing the designers being passionate for creating.  (Victoria, I assume you love Korto!) Each time after I watch the show, I can't stop wanting to create something new.
