All Around You.....

Inspirations are all around us, we only need to open our eyes, our ears, and our heart
Take Tony for an example, all of the "Lost and Found" talked to him, and he use his heart to translate the messages into something that more people can understand, and here comes something lots of people Love and in between these creations, we get it, and be inspire.


藝術家Toby Atticus Fraley 創造有趣的機械人公司仔,全是用路上拾遺的雜物碎件組成,舊車牌啦,吸塵機啦, 舊汽车零件啦, 什麼都有,每個差不多3 至4 呎高,很Rock, 很摇滚,又充滿運動感的 "Industrial Pop Art", 還可以亮燈呢! 機械人太有型,吸引了很多買家,包括有搖滾樂手,高科技公司老闆及電視廣播公司,這個的確是廢物變寶物的好例子哩!(On Weibo)

Love Gloves 潮人潮襪

How many "Romance" start with a mismatch, and when you take a second look, isn't it a match also?
This bright idea only makes life so much more interesting and pretty, and spark a whole new ideal and explanations about the exciting world we are living in. Save the gloves, save the planet earth, save the romance.

At Green Thing, a U.K.-based not-for-profit, has set up a matchmaking service for lovelorn mitts, to rescues singleton gloves, click on Image for more details

潮人潮襪  
本是孤單寂寞的,在茫茫人海中相遇,截然不同的两個,卻能相伴,互相配合,相伴在一起更精彩。這個浪漫理想在英國的"Green Thing" 協會裡用所有他們可以搜集的"單吊西" 手襪實现了,配起來還很 "Funky", 很潮呢! 每一對手襪都悉心配搭及整理,像新一樣,只賣五英鎊,夠潮又環保!(Also posted on Weibo network )

.....to the beginning......


Ok...finally the 2010 is Over and all the rush to the deadlines for Christmas and New Year is Over.....
It has been a whole month already since my last post ...whoops!!!
Yes!! in the new year continued with the old and some new focus were set.....
I will continue on in this blog with my wannabe Jack Kerouac writing...about the things i care, and those inspired me as one of the "Global Villager", a terms coined by Marshall McLuhan but took on a so much more important meaning to be one in this stage of age.The terms is explain fairly clearly in this article from Green Teacher magazine Issue #57   http://jalt.org/global/36Villager.htm
So...besides sorting out the green trends, there will be more Sustainability, some of my own observation and findings on Slow food, Raw food Macrobiotic form an Asian prospective
 and hopefully some fast and easy Recipe too in order to start the application on a very basic level.
Yes This is Janus doing what Janus do in January, looking back at the past and looking forward to the future

Tipping points for the Pointy tips


Artist Dalton Ghetti's tiny sculptures carved out of the fragile tips of pencils, go to Inhabitat  for the full gallery
點擊圖片看看他其餘彫刻品

I have always admire craftsman, they have this superior concentration that can only be fine tune with time and their talent and skill.
Imagine myself and a craftsman in a staring contest...staring at an object for hours.... I would certainly get board fairly quickly...but I bet he would be able to generate lots of info and ideas, of what the object is, and what it could become in his hands.
It takes a totally different mind set....
With curiosity, observations imaginations, love, Passion and maybe a little stubbornness too. And they make magic happen...when they are in their zone.

迷你藝術品既細致又神乎奇技!!
讓人驚訝的彫刻品, 原來只是用盡了的鉛筆, 藝術家Dalton Ghetti 的迷你藝術品既細致又神乎奇技, 巴西藝術家度頓工作時完全不用放大鏡,而工具只有三款,剃刀,縫針,及彫刻刀.
怕就是現在不用佩帶眼鏡…也許日後會有需要吧?
但怎樣把幾乎丟棄的東西變成藝術品,這可是個好例子!

The Good List

Do you have a list? My guess is yes you do....and not only one.
List is good.....its easy to find what you need or try to remember in a glance, it helps your brain to file away what is important to your logics and memories, it gives clear indication of what the priority is, I personally like list....it helps, until I made too many...Hahaha...
oh here is one more...and a good one! Let's share!
