The Mod House Spring 2009 collections Part II

Another nickel based necklace, combined with two thick rhinestone bead spacer and a clear faceted tear-drop shaped crystal bead.... the Rowena necklace.




The following necklace is also a nickel metal based, using two different faceted metalic grey colored shaped beads. This I named Bianca necklace.

If you have noticed my previous work, you can see that i love to combine different types of beads in a design... this is a fun necklace.. using various nickel pendants, faceted metalic, clear and white glass beads and bead caps. This is named Olivia necklace.

all 7 designs and I added Dorothy designs (copper color coins and diamond shaped beads necklace & earring sets - created by end of December, 2008) are to be send for the brand's spring collection photography session on this coming Sunday. Though the brand emphasis more on their clothings then accessories but I will continue to create more interesting designs... my main purpose is to do what I believe and love doing.

The Mod House Spring 2009 Collectons part I

Here's something i designed for the up coming Spring collections...

Mainly of my designs in this collections are in nickel based and used different shapes of faceted crystal bead..



The Caressa Necklace:

This is named Faith Necklace.. this is actually a long necklace, using different shapes of shell beads, diamond shaped glass beads and metal rings.

I designed it to be wore as a short necklace when it is double strands.

Using different sizes faceted donut shaped clear crystal beads, clear and silver rhinestone spacer beads, clear faceted diamond shaped crystals and metal footage chain... I created Diana Earring and necklace set.

The Cathy necklace... using gold base metal footage chain, long gold beads and heart shaped glass beads. same concept as the Faith necklace, can also be wore as short necklace when it's double strands... I love the fancy hook as the center piece.

My Chinese New Year 2009 - trip to Labuan with Daddy

Chinese New Year 2009 falls on 26th & 27th January... I flew back to Kota Kinabalu to meet up with dad before we travel back to our hometown for the festival..

There's always a grand CNY eve dinner at my uncle Paul Lau's house with all family and my auntie Mary. My other uncles in Sandakan and Brunei are unable to go Labuan this year.. it's the second year without them so I really missed them.

Now that Mom's gone, it's also lonely for just me and dad to spend the festival alone in KK so we always go back to Labuan to spend it with uncle Paul's family.

Our flight back to Labuan take off at 0720hrs on 25th Jan, which was on the eve... woke up pretty early that morning, settled packing and headed to the airport at 6am.

This year I booked the air ticket late and since all economy seats are all taken, we have to settle in at the business class.

After the plane took off from Kota Kinabalu International airport, i managed to shoot some photographs of the city,

It was a clear morning, and surprisingly Mount Kinabalu seems very clear from afar..
When the airplane reach Labuan island, I was so lucky to be able to see a rainbow...
This is the 1st time i saw rainbow in flight.. wow amazing!




We reached Labuan international airport and headed straight to uncle Paul's house.
It's a Sunday and seems everyone was at home...

My aunties and cousin sister was busy preparing dishes for tonight's dinner.
The dinner started at around 7pm and here are the dishes...
