My friend from Japan

My friend Mihiro came to visit me from Japan. 

We took Staten Island Ferry to see Statue of Liberty. It was first time for me too. 

The sunset view was beautiful!

I hope she enjoyed in NYC!! 

Thank you for coming Mihiro!!

Stand by me, stand by me

Little white stone with marble stone. 

For Melissa who is Interior design club PR partner.

She got a great pare of shoes from NANNU which is Copenhagen shoe brand. It is so cool and comfortable shoes.  

Today, we went to BAM Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn to see modern ballet show "Decreation" by the choreographer, William Forsythe. Melissa use to play ballet and she got me a ticket!! 

The concept was love, suspect, doubt, and question, what would you do if i ask you to show that you love me more than i love you.  I can not describe with words, but it was wonderful.  You gata see it. 

It was the first time to see live show at opera house. I was so excited and overwhelmed.  

I saw ballet dance in Bayant Park last week, and i was so moved, and it made me even cry. 

The body expression was so beautiful and the music was fantastic with the dance. 

Today's show also made me so emotional. I think i got addicted to it.. 

I will go again soon. 

 

color study

My color study for studio project. 

I started placing color boxes neatly. From some point, i got crazy and started repeating select part of colors, move them around, and overlap them randomly. 

Sometime, unconsciousness plus little bits of consideration is a great tool for design and art. 

 

Sea Shell RIng

A white piece of sea  shell from Dumbo bay and a dark gray beautiful sea shell form Israel ocean. 

I had 10 cents chicken wings tonight with my friends. We ordered 80 wings... it cost just $8...

i ate around 10... It was sooo delicious. 

We waited for almost 2 hours though.. 

The restaurant call Croxley Ales ( on B ave between 2nd and 3rd st) Monday and Wednesday, chicken wings are 10 cents. 

GO get as much as you can!! But don't wast chickens!!!! 

Sea shells From Natalie!!

My friend Natalie who is from Israel got some sea shells. 

She saw my sea shell ring and she told me she has nice shell from her country. 

And she gave me today!! how nice.. 

I made a shell pendant. 

Shells has a hole on where the two shells are connected. So it worked perfectly as a pendant. 

Table Arrangement

I got back my table arrangement work today. 

My design evokes Japanese modern and Scandinavian Modern style which enhance clean and sophisticated feeling. 

After i spent 3 month in Japan and came back to school, I felt like to working with Japanese style to show what i found and leaned in Japan in this summer. 

My concept was contrast of elements; form(geometric vs natural), color(faded vs saturated), texture(smooth vs rough), and dark and light. More over, i concerned Ma(間),which is one of beautiful Japanese style principle. It is some space enhance eyes flow, focal point, and it allows you to feel calm and sophisticate. 

The project was not hard but i missed 2 session and i was behind in the class. So it was tough to select object and render them. 

But, it was fun. 

I am using my mother makers. She bought the makers more than 15 years ago when she started her business. but it is still working fine. Copic is amazing markers from Japan. It is sooo expensive in here. 1 maker costs $6... dahh 

Thanks mom!! Such a great cycle, right?  

Now i am working on designing residential apartment!!  Excited!!!
