Information Graphics in Silver

Congratulations to my husband, Dwynn, who got a SILVER MEDAL for this year's "Best of News Design" from The Society for News Design. Whohooo!

Presenting his award-winning information graphics and design:

A very tricky presentatioin of an entire year of economic trajectory which he managed to lay everything out in one spread, creating an interesting design. That is information graphics at its best!

SND is an international organization for news media professionals and visual communicators – specifically those who create print/web/mobile publications and products.

You deserve it hon, congratulations!

E, enchanted blossoms

he loves me; he loves me much.

(Just some hints from now on.)

D, such a dandy

dandy is he who elevates æsthetics to a living religion.

love letter bouquet

So I have been surfing wedding blogs more than usual these days because my fabfriend Fyns is getting married - for the second round - and being the faerie that I am, I am helping her hunt for inspirations and ideas.

Look what I found. My jaw dropped.

And in an instant, I remember my wedding (2004) bouquet: it wasn't what I had in mind. The florist had her way and made it into a gigantic ball bouquet. I remember how devasted I was. All we can do is take out the first outer row of roses to make it at least 10% lighter. It was very heavy. I didn't want to hold it.

Love letter paper bouquet! It would've been PERFECT for me, for us! Because my little love story started with letters - yes even if we were only 3 chairs away from eachother. Crazy silly people inlove! Why haven't I think of that before!? Oh I know because I was worried about the little girls' fairy wings, and hand painted flower on my flowerfriends' dresses, and a lot of other things! But you know, the magic of true love couldn't get a lousy bouquet ruin the weddign day eh?

Because I was so disappointed about DSF (see, only a bunch of items were on sale and they were all boring), I bought a funny footed tights by Claire's instead. Can't wait to go on a circus ride.

i need a doll.

Someday I'll have you and your trunk.

I'll make awesome outfits and we will play dress up together.

And you will be my baby girl.

SENSE OF SIGHT : My Sister & I

Kahlil's "My Sister & I" clearly stood out from the rest of the sets. Maybe because it wasn't typical, or it surprises the audience with its technique. But I think it is because he taps reality boldly. It is such an honor to be part of his project. Well done Kahlil!

7 sets in 1 day.

Ok so I've made 7 sets in a row yesterday. Scary. It was a smooth-sailing shopping - all the great finds were showing up on my face and really all I can do is just make a story out of them.

Once upon a time, there were seven sisters getting all the pretty things in fashion. One day, the stylefaerie came to visit to play.

1. Sweet Grunge in July is heading off to a wedding. She is not afraid to mix the sweet and the edgy. Wearing her favourite boots on a pale blue vintage dress, she is the coolest bridesmaid I've seen.

2. Dull and Happy is very dull indeed yet pulls off her getup quite so. She tells me she is most happy when she goes around town looking for old things - books, toys, handmade jewelry. Today she's meeting an old friend.

3. Flaunt your love is going on a date. She talks a lot about how love can be very scary sometimes. She loves it when people stares at her, asks for her number, or offer her a ride home. She thinks she's the most beautiful among her sisters. She has the kindest heart. She wants to be a wife and a mother of 6.

4. Nightingale beauty is a classic chick. She has a rare talent of hearing animals talk. This scares her and prays one day she can hear no more. She keeps this to herself.

5. Wonderland is the most playful. She doesn't like to get "squeezed" in by whatever and whoever. She's always laughing and moving and making silly faces, yet very mysterious. She always remembers her dreams and talks about it the minute she wakes up. Sometimes she writes them down on her journal.

6. Good Mourning lost her goldfish today and so is not in the mood for any adventure.

7. No Secrets is the youngest and my favourite of them all. She is free-spirited and light. She loves life in general and respects the planet. She wants to be a fairy when she dies.

And they all had great time and live happily ever after.

Got myself trying on new clothes in my me-time-playtime-at-polyvore. And it was so much fun combining the polka and stripe pattern!

I just got a juicy invitation by email last night and even up to now I can't contain my excitement! I can't spill out the details to you guys just yet. I am just here to tell you that something HUGE is going to invade Dubai, Planet Earth April 2010. Project MEGA.

I can't wait to get hold of my toy!
