Ten Rings

Image
The ring is a token of love and wearing it on different fingers has different meanings. For this reason, I have tried ten different designs—— Thumb: The Sun and The Moon    &    Venus A ring is worn on the thumb to represent power and status. The sun is as fulgent as the moon symbolizes gender equality; Venus, without a doubt, is the most attractive planet. Index Finger: The Fire & 南( Nan) A ring is worn on the index finger to signify somebody unmarried or wanting to get married. “ 南国有佳人,容华若桃李 ” 。 (It means “in the southland there’s a belle still, like peach and plum flowers so bright.” ) “ 南 ” in Chinese can mean both south and a person's name. In addition, “ That mild-mannered good girl, awake, asleep, I search for her.” (“ 窈窕淑女,君子好逑 ” 。 ) From these two ancient Chinese poems, I got a key word "unrequited love". Imagine a young man wrapping 南 around his right index finger, not only to adore her but even to marry her. He is anxious as if the heart is burnt  b

I have loved erasers and matches since I was a child, especially matches. Maybe because of Andersen's fairy tale, maybe it is the match that gives people light and hope. So I collected matches like stamps, year after year. One day, when my blood was boiling, I tried to use matches for photography. Ash is the ember of the dead fire.   - “Article talk” There is a nation in Africa where babies are born to have 60 years of life. All the great things in life have to be completed in these 60 years, and the years thereafter will be used to spend the old age. I marvel at the wisdom of this nation's life, also inspired by the life “countdown”.      Ash   STATEMENT On that spring festival, I sat alone in the dark and mused about “death”. I thought of the little girl selling match who died on the eve of the year due to freezing, and I burned matches like her. In the fire, I felt the life is like a box of matches, there are less matches, but at the same time they emit light and heat. Why

 One by One The piece is a recreation of the original. If the former’s image is a Christmas tree, then this is a red dress.   Both are creative living, more like dressed up twins. Sister, radiant during the Christmas season, and the younger sister will be favored by the bride. They are similar in appearance but different in “personality”. Since the former has photos in a previous blog, I will show the latter from multiple views here. I tried to create a stage-like effect by combining the background and lighting. The red dress is the protagonist. It reminds me of the Chinese bride. On the wedding day, the red dress is one of their indispensable clothes. Most of their dowries are red, including toiletries. Where there is a wedding, there is a party. Immediately, some pairs of dancing men and women came to my mind.  Maybe I'm making hollow containers, so they become one of my works. Of course, this could also be sculpture or other art. A love Story I could go on with this project, but

  All Roads Leads to Roma The "Shell" failed because of the irregular shape of the bottle.  When looking for a new approach, I asked myself whether to copy the original or to recreate it. Although the object is perfect from concept to design, the obstacle I faced was probably also an opportunity, not to mention the screw I had to eliminate. Is that whimsical? Until I remembered the stopper. It will not leak as long as it is firmly stuffed. When I thought of the bridal bouquet, I had an idea for the plug. This "six-petal flower" anaphora a lily, which means a long and happy marriage.   It is imprinted on the mouth of the bottle. (slot for the stopper) At this time, I suddenly remembered that I own a white thermos, a German brand, small and delicate.  Thus, I came up with the idea of making the liner:  first, drill a hole into it with a cylinder the same diameter as the original bottle, and then "explode" to remove the parts I didn't need; ​secondly, to

  Itch to Have a Try After measuring the parts, I was eager to try. I was most interested in the tree trunk, so I produced it first. Then, "Dup"-> "BooleanDifference" ->"Cap". However, I couldn't use the "shell" command.  In addition, it seems to me that the "tree" has a short neck, and "wearing" screw is like wearing "yoke". I set aside these annoying questions for a moment and start from its head. I tried the "Shell" again. It still didn't work. Is there nothing I can do? PS: The marks in the image are all actual sizes, and I used "Trace Background Bitmap"for some parts.

   The Compass It’s my cup tea! The design of the compass is simple and unique. It holds the pencil in place by tightening the screw, rather than shoving the lead into the compass. Unfortunately, I can't take it apart. Maybe the quality is good or it's old. Straw Cup   As one of the mass-produced industrial products, its design is excellent. Open its cap and the straw helps the baby drink easily under the action of the gravity ball.  In addition, the double handle allows the baby to switch between left and right hands at will.  It is worth mentioning that the cup is easy to clean as well as easy to use. Hand Sanitizer Bottle This bottle is similar to the compass but more advanced. Because it is both functional and artistic. Its appearance is like a Christmas tree, pleasing to the eye; concave-convex pattern and gradual design are intriguing. I was attracted to it at one glance, and it has been with me for two years.    Undoubtedly, reversal is another way I love it.
