Happy Chinese New Year

Its the Dragon year once again. This year its the Mighty Water Dragon. Its said that the Dragon brings luck and wealth. Funny enough the last three dragon years I have been in Asia some how! 1988 I was in HK with my dad. The 2000 I was in Taiwan and finally 2012 I am in Malaysia.
Last night I watched the fire works and the traditional Dragon Dance and this morning woke up to a lovely breakfast by the pool.
The Dragon has been always kind to me and this Dragon comes at a time of my life where I need luck and lots of it.
So I hope this year 2012 will bring me all the luck that I need and to bring everybody else all that they wish for.

Be My Valentine Workshop

Its strange but I seem to be in Asia every dragon cycle. 2012 I am in Malaysia giving create your style workshops. 2000 I was in Taiwan working and beading. 1988 I was in HK with my father on a business trip and 1976 I was in Australia. I love Dragons and I am holding workshops to cover the mighty Water Dragon. However since we are close to February I am holding a more special workshop for my students in KL "Be My Valentine".
I am being a bit hush hush but will reveal all interesting details all in good time. My plan is to run the same workshop in Australia as well. It turned out to be more fun and wilder than I thought it will be.
All I can say is I am happy I decided to trail it here cause I knew my students will miss me till April.

New Year New Dreams New Resloutions

2011 was an interesting year to me, cause after so many years as a jewellery designer I decided to get out there to the big wide world. Tough move I have been an observer so many years and now as I made my first steps into the lime light I realized that I was well known among friends or my own group of bankers/hobbyists but out there I was not known at all. 2012 come my resolution to show what I am really made of. There is this saying "a woman is like a bag of tea you never know how strong it is till you put it in hot water". How true I am well known in the Mortgage and Finance industry in fact I am one of the 18 Certified MFAA Mortgage Mentors.
So my first resolution is to get into the jewellery world with a new product. Last November I found the product and I am just waiting for my samples to arrive to play with it and my beloved Crystallized Elements from Swarovski.
So watch this space for new designs.
