A little story of ....

To Have This FINISH and workmanship on this Wooden CAR B-uni that I am holding in my hand , there is otherside of the PICTURE 
 
 
There is a big Story  behind that I want to share with you guys!! 
 I spent A lone 3-4 months last summer , and
 
No .... I am going to take  you to Journey of making products in China 
Sometime need to take these trains to reach Factories on Wooden production!!!!
People with Hopes, People with dreams, People some going to make money, some going back to their families 
 
Sometimes Smiles are hopes and pure .........
Long Journeys , Long train rides over 45 hours sometimes for them, going to their hope
With their poor instant noodles
and Smiles always smiles 
If you find seats, you lucky 
Amazing to see these workers 
Working with them side by side on samples, if not , you will bever get  desired perfection and even shape :) 
Oh After I involve, now we getting  perfect finish on the product 
YES !!! DONE........
LEGS of Tables, Cars....
Reviewing samples with factory managers
My Mussel haha.... tried many times, many many times to find perfect shape
First sample development of paper clip holder sea shells, Mussels  concept 
Herb Holders so many mistakes by factory even I stayed 3 months
Painting room in Factory 
Oh My lovely work....  Dream Of Her Wall Clock set. I love this one but they made 8 times sample to get it right but still not right :) 
When Two Board Of The clock boards put together  look like Macbook : ) 
Tea Light Candle Holder samples, Interesting concept... not completed
Was Glossy and Round 
Matt and Flat better ?  I changed to Matt Black
Yes I said that !! 
Hand Craft from workers hands
First samples of Tears Of Forest 
They look Georgous 
Thinking and  smiling   things either going well or I just lost all my nervous balance :) Both case smiling 
Total involvement , I am with sample Master :) 
Painting master, sometimes we work happy  but most of the time I go mad :) 
No Worries  He does NOT understand English :)
working till midnight, not a joke....  paint gone wrong, started re paintings
When You working in factories months, sometimes you go crazy, working like this and start panting things 
Paint Process
This One  Remind me Hayao Miyazaki San  Character NO FACE from Movie Spirited Away
 
Salt & Pepper Shaker 
Factories sometimes drive you crazy.. most of the times actually 
Meetings again and again
it took 3 months to make 17 prototype 
I call many times urgent meetings!!!!!   Meetings, again and again telling same things but still all these guys making careless mistakes and I explaning again and again 
Photos right after Painting  to shift  glossy shiny paint to MATT , Look more ELEGANT 
Sometimes things may goes Bad, sometimes things may like grey skies 
Illegal Child Workers, Even in the factories of very Famous Brands
Too sad to see..
 
 
Some of them come with their Mothers
Too Dangerous and Illegal 
Millions of wooden cars
Sad part is None of the brand , famous world toy brands even DO NOT CARE  Where the Wood sources come from!!! Illegal Wood use So Much 
But Not always Dark Sky and Bad side of the commercial world!
Sky can be so awesome
And Kids Can be FREE !!! Sometimes You see naked running kids around 
When Friends Visit you , then You feel like you back to Human world again and Go Aound to Enjoy  Natural Beauties 
Green Lakes
Local people never like to enjoy  Outdoor
They just like to stay indoor places no window,  Drink , eat, drunk 
They not really appretiate Nature 
 
 
And Sometimes You meet curious little things, great captured , and Posed by Her :) 
BACK TO CITY !!!!!!  SHANGHAI Finally  Studio Shootings 
This Beauty now on Studios for Catalog 
It is like melting, dropping like honey from fingers 
 
Studio Shootings
