Petite Cherries :

W.L.'s cherries

I had tea with Weiling and knew she yearned for a pair of cherries. So I tried 3 or 4 times before I could get this piece right. Yes I'm one true perfectionist. First few attempts I used bronze wires for the cherry stalks but they looked really fake and stiff. Wasn't the look I wanted. I like my stuff to have a nice flow. So I changed to use thread instead to make chains and tada I got what I want. Next comes the leaves. First it's too big, then the colour was off. Goodness! I digged into my box of DMC cotton threads and finally found a matching green. And lastly I finished it with a shiny gold loop. Wow I think it looks really sweet.

Crochet & knitting was one of the tacit knowledge passed down from my mom and I am still on a journey to create new things and incorporate other handicraft techiniques in my work. Family, friends, music, Cable TV, baking, cooking, photography and my teddy bear are the inspiration for me to pursue the ideal in continuing my journey. And as you can see these are my favourite things.
