THE MOD HOUSE Summer 09 collections Part VII

Finally, last but not least, we must have a white and black fashion accessories to go with even the simplest thing.
Both are still my favorite color, apart from green.
The following sets are good to go with working suits and even cocktail functions.

The VICTORIA SET, the only all white and silver in the entire collection.

Combination of Howlite chips (another type of semi precious stones), pearl beads, white with black lace agate, nickel metal connector and bead caps and silver footage chains with beads.

This set has a long 3 strands necklace, fully beaded bracelet with toggle clasp and dangling earrings.

A separate design, I named it Triana (tri = 3) 3 in 1 bracelet, combined with different sizes of white pearls, oval shell beads and matches with antique gold flower bead caps and spacer beads.

These 3 bracelets are linked together with an antique gold footage chain, decorated with a pearl drop.
So as you wear it, it won't be apart ;p

BERNICE SET is an almost black set, except it's bead caps and pin findings.

Using black faceted cut puffed roundelle and longish tear drop, beads, black footage chain as necklace and tassels for the necklace. The bracelet is fully beaded with black puffed roundelle beads (2 sizes) and decorated with bead caps. Same goes with the earrings.

My last set, the SIMONA set - using black faceted cut oval beads, matches with a filigree parts and toggle for the bracelet and the earrings I added some silver footage chains.

I didn't design a necklace for this set.

That's all my collections for the Summer 2009.

I had compiled all those photo in my web album.. you can go to http://picasaweb.google.com/beadialogy/THEMODHOUSESUMMER09Collections#

Started designing while i was waiting for the beads after finalizing the concept and theme with the company. The stocks arrived by second week of June (late), and I spent 3 sleepless weeks completing this collections... including stock takes, and paper work.

There's only 10 pieces of each item, by mid July - The Mod House will be distributing them to their selected outlets in East, West Malaysia and China branches... normally only available in larger boutiques, and only 2 identical sets each boutique... so it's consider a limited editions because I do not repeat the same design using the same beads anymore.

It's really a load off my shoulder at the mean time but I already start researching for the coming autumn collections.

THE MOD HOUSE Summer 09 collections Part VI

Here's another copper bronze based set named DESIREE SET, a combinations of various semi precious chips, orangy agate and puffed rectangular shaped olive green crazy lace agate. I also added some polygon cut aquamarine and clear color glass beads to make the necklace more interesting The bracelet is a like a charm bracelet with pinned semi precious stones and copper metal coins... and a simple dangling earrings.
I am sure that this set can goes with any color attire, even orange, blue and green.

This is one of my favorite set, apart from turquoise sets and shell beads is this cheerful SCARLET SET, because it looks like a bunch of candies.

I combined different sizes of puffed roundelle red, pinkish and orange beads together with Aquamarine 8mm rounded beads ( without this the whole set will be dull), corded with cotton cords and antique gold flower shaped bead caps and stopper beads.

There's long necklace, transparent elastic corded bracelet and dangling earrings

The Bronze Lapis Lazuli long necklace, of course with lapis lazuli longish beads, bronze curved tube beads and antique gold plain (3mm) stopper beads and match with copper 3X5mm metal footage chain.

Some people might not be wearing gold color chains or accessories but may be a copper color is easier to accept... and easily goes with other brown tones attires.

The TRACY SET is combined with oval puffed turquoise beads (18X25mm) on neck area and a (30X40mm) size as the dangling drop. To go with the turquoise, I added a rounded (6mm) red glass beads to enhance the beautiful sky blue and black then parted with a metal textured ring.

The CLAUDIA SET is a combination of Sea green brownish turquoise of (10X20mm) cubist and puffed coin or M&M shaped (10mm), copper and blue galaxy cut 8 & 6mm of glass beads and nickel metal leaf shaped connector.

THE MOD HOUSE Summer 09 collections Part III

The summer collections also coming out with some interesting tops, where can be use on work and leisure, I figured it should be interesting to add some feminine touch by using shell beads.

This is Hannah set, well named by a girlfriend of mine who love green like i do.

It's a combination of green shell beads and other different shapes and sizes of glass beads like perridot color cube beads, greyish oval shaped beads and silver bicone with gold center coated beads.

This set consist of a short necklace, bracelet and a pair of earrings.

ALBERTA set is simpler, it consist of a shell pendant, rectangular shell beads and ivory coin shaped beads.

PAULINE SET is slightly different, it is a combination of purple oval coin shaped beads, ivory hexagon shaped beads, nickel metal tube Bali beads, nickel metal rhinestone spacer bead and nickel textured ring knotted together with black leather strapes.

I only created a necklace and a pair of earrings

to be continue...

THE MOD HOUSE Summer 09 collections Part II

There are a few very interesting black and white agate beads that would go well with the black and white wardrobe styling concept of the Summer resort theme...

This is DONNA SET, combinations of black and white lace agate in square shaped beads, some transparent beads and black rounded glass beads. Created a short necklace, 2 in 1 strands bracelet and a pair of simple dangling earrings. Nothing fancy here, not even a glittery bead, it's can be easily match with jacket suit or even casual wear.

Elize is even simpler, using oval longish & M&M shaped back and white lace agate, accompany by rounded (4mm) black and white glass beads, finishing with gun metal chain.

Elize set is only consist of a long necklace and a dangling pair of earrings. Also nothing fancy, I do not want to distract the interesting patterns of the agate beads.

## it's hard to find 2 identical beads for making earrings because normal natural stones has different patterns of it's own.

Research for The Mod House Summer09 collection

I am researching for the upcoming The Mod House Summer Collections 09
The theme of the collection is resort mood..
I starting searching for pictures related to this theme and gathering color charts...
Here are some of the materials I'll be using for the collections.. before I design, I usually wanna feel for the theme, so I also search for related music...
Nowadays, summer resort life is not only beach wear, thinking about shopping, evening night outings, dinner parties, going for a drive, sight seeing etc... all those activities of of urban chic women.
Hmm... I found my inspirations and I wanna share here are the research photos.

* took this photo while i was on an airplane flying home to Kota Kinabalu.. love the contrast of sea and island..

* Another photo I took while flying.. summer sunset

* Relaxing summer resort

* won't it be great strolling by the beach during sunset and kiss by the soft tropical breeze.

OK, enough of those imaginations.. here are some beads type that I think will suit the theme.. and which type of fashion jeweleries to go with it.

1. Raw Semi precious beads..

Shell beads, plain huge plastic beads in bundles..

Colorful mixures of glass beads

Also wooden beads, brass, metal coins...

also not forgetting chunky silver jeweleries e.g. huge bangles, earring etc...
Also some wedges, sexy sandals

Some of the styles I love while doing my "homework"

color combinations are black & white, can also some metallic elements, even bronze, copper, antique gold etc...

Not forgetting lovely prints with a mixture of colors

** photos of fashion shows can be found in http://www.style.com/

Creations of designers like Alberta Ferriti, Anna Sui, John Galliano & Marc Jacob & not forgetting Prada shoes.

Well, it was fun especially my dad loves to take photographs too but we headed home for lunch since auntie Mary had cooked up some of our favorite food! and it started to rain when we reached the Botanic garden...

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...
Cold dish..

Curry Chicken,

Shark fin soup with crab meat,

Butter prawn,

Mixed vegetables with black mushroom and "foo chok"
Chinese herbal chicken


Pork legs and sea cucumber clear soup,

and Marinated chicken

and everyone above 18th cheers to the camera while having dinner.

Why can't some people care about animal..or even their pet/s...

I really have to put this in my blog...

When I took Vicky to the veternery a week ago, a middle age lady took her dog there too...
It's a brown male cocker spaniel, I think he has urinal problem because I saw him trying to pee but can't.. that's sad but... here's what happened

Lady: Hello doctor, I think my dog is sick, he can't pee
Doctor: ok, let me check...
Lady: My husband said if he cannot pee and needs operation or expensive medical fee then put him to sleep
Me: PUT TO SLEEP.... U HAVEN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM YOU WANNA PUT HIM TO SLEEP?
(I was so pissed... how can someone be so cruel)
Doctor: No... don't make any decision 1st... let's give him x ray, then see what really happens to him... he looks healthy apart from the problem that he's having right now.
Lady: My husband said he won't be paying for the medication fee that is more expensive that the price of the dog... but i'm willing to let you check what happens...
Me: Please don't simply kill your pet... he's also a member of your family... he's adorable.. don't give up...
Lady: Ok, please take him x ray...

When I took Vicky home, the poor dog is still at the vet...
I hope he's ok...
I really don't understand why some people treat animal like killing an ant?
I felt sad and frustrated that I can't do anything to help
I hope that his lady owner can talk to her husband, telling him not to put the dog to sleep because he is just a little not well...
why can't people see and treat their own pet as a member of their family... Dogs, cats and every living thing have feelings too.
:(

My Vicky and Angel

I have not been writing since... after the fashion show.

Had created a few designs but this is not what i wanna write here...

Well, lots been going on..

My doggies are ill...

My little 4 year old Angel was found, eye infection... but that was cure by the vet by giving her eye drops and she had her yearly vaccination on Christmas eve, will takes about 2 full weeks to recover and grand back her anti body.

Then Vicky... my11 years old pom/Pekingese mix... she have a weak heart and kidney problems and this has to be maintain by giving her a drug daily namely "fortekok" and special dog diet name renal.

Vicky was screaming with pain on Christmas eve when i tried to hold her... and she don't wanna eat and move.

I panic... and called my regular vet..

and i found out that she also has slight blood in her urine.... OH MY GOD....

I called the vet again at 2am... and he's kind enough to guide me how to treat her and willing to open his clinic to see Vicky on Christmas day.

I didn't sleep all night... afraid that something might happened to her... and took her to see the vet 1st thing in the morninig on Christmas day.

Doctor found out that she had joint problem and suggested to take her for x ray...that will have to wait for another 2 days due to public holidays and booking and suggested just to give her pain killer before we had her x ray.

On Saturday 27th December... took Vicky for X ray... since she is so active and doctor gave her some tranquilizer to keep her relax.

I have to leave her with the doctor because he have to take her to another clinic for x ray.

I went back to pick up Vicky after 3 hours... she was in a cage, shivering and tearing when she saw me... i know she's still feeling dizzy because of the tranquilizer...and thought that I left her...poor girl..

When doctor showed me her x ray negative.. i nearly cried... her left leg (joint) is nearly worn out... no wander she was screaming with pain... and she her back bone is slightly bend.

He gave her more medications, antibiotics, 2 types of pain killer, eye drops, calcium etc...

When i took Vicky home, she's still drowsy... her whole body is weak and energy less...

Two days later after the x ray.. one night, suddenly Vicky's left leg was cramp.. her whole body shivering and she didn't make a sound at all... eye open wide and I can see that she's really in pain... lots of pain....
Luckily, the pain killer works and she was alright after a while....

Vicky usually have no problem taking medications in pill form but this time it's capsule... I've to pour out the powder, mixed with a little water and force feed her!

Now, I have to monitor her 24-7... and her medication schedule...
after breakfast, fortekok, the after 2 hours will have to give her antibiotics, then her daily calcium.

after dinner, her daily vitamin, after an hour will give her another capsule of antibiotic and her pain killer... waited for another hour for her another liquid medicine.. before she goes to bed will have to treat her eye drop...

I don't mind taking care of Vicky and Angel...because when i adopted them, I had made a commitment that i will do my best to take care of them..

I prayed to God so that they'll be healthy and happy.

I took about 88 photos during The Mod house fashion show yesterday afternoon.
The mall was packed of people/shoppers and lots of professional photographers there waiting for the show to start while i find myself at the front stage.

I did went to the back stage an hour before the show, to see if i could help. Well, they are all organized with about 7 dressers there so I think I should go take some photos of their hard work.

Another Korean dinner

I went for another Korean restaurant for dinner with my dearest Jessie and Phoena a few days ago.

The restaurant is located at Danau Taman Desa... 1st floor, just above a "mamak" coffee shop.

We ordered some barbecue pork shoulder, belly, tiger prawn and the famous "Ginseng" chicken soup.
There's about 10 different types of starters from a varieties of salads, fish cakes, kimchi of course, eggs etc...

and also steam egg..

They also serve watermelon and barley ginger drinks as desert.. as to cool down after the barbecue.

The bill... less than RM100... Not bad for a 3 person meal!

but honestly...

the food I'll give 3.5 stars

environment 3 stars

Services - Korean lady boss 4.5 star

service from a worker -3 star.... he was rude as he served us... throwing the food and plates rudely etc..

we were pissed off but lucky their lady boss quick came and save his as#....

I will go back again for an average Korean meal...just because it's not far from where I stay.

Pix i took - Sky

You might think I am weird but I really love to take photos of the sky.
I think the sky changes every second when you look at it in different angles and directions...
My interest of photography is actually encouraged by my dad,
He's the one who loves photography since I was really young and also I want to have more similar interest.
Sometimes when you travel and see something or some place you like,
this is the only way to capture and then review it later or share with friends.
Well, some people just think that i am weird coz i really love to take pix of sky, landscapes and sea especially when I'm on the plane.
I think it's God's beautiful creation, why don't we appreciate it?

***Will write about the outlet and update my upcoming new designs.

My Trip back to Kota Kinanalu... for my mom's 3rd yr anniversary.

I flied home to visit my mom's grave last week..

It's 3 years now since she went back to God but I missed her every single day.

Have been busy with my fashion jeweleries design but this time I have to put down my work and go home.
It was raining heavily on the day I fly back...

Plane delayed almost one and the half hours...

like i spent the whole day travelling... waiting and doing nothing!

feels like a waste of time!

I reached Kota Kinabalu at round 6.30pm... so damn tired already!

Just right to snap photo of KK sunset!
funny it looks like a hole in the cloud.

Went mom's grave the next day... early!

Beside mom, lay her sister... so we also pay respect and displayed flowers and candles to her too!

After this event, I took all of them for breakfast ... (my mom's brother and sister and sister in law.)

As usual when i'm in KK, i'll meet up with my "god brother" Jerry and we'll take my dad out for dinner...

this time we went to a chinese theme restaurant at Api Api center.

Food is ok, especially the taufoo..

But may b i'm too hungry... i forgot to take photograph of other dish...

The day i fly back to Kuala Lumpur, was a clear and sunny day..

took a few photos...

and Kuala Lumpur is cloudy...

Some rejected design..

I had design more than 30sets of fashion jeweleries for the brand that i just joined.
Here are the ones that they didn't choose for their up coming outlet..
which i think i like...:(

this is Named " Venus" I love the combination of gold and antique gold color..
wouldn't this perfect for Christmas?
Is this piece"too heavy"?

This one I named it "Ann"...would goes with any outfit from casual to even clubbing!

This set is named "Even at night"
I love the mixed beads and tassels..
would goes well with any low cut evening dress!

I'm now start designing another range for the Christmas!

Jane Watever

I've not much to update lately...
Been so busy with my accessories designs and I had forgotten to update my blog.
Here's another image of Jane.
the huge head is what I have spent time amended using photobucket online.
I do love the college and pop art version of Jane but I still need to do it in a brighter version.

Thinking about what should I do with Jane since our "Watever" culture should be "slumber and happy" mood!

I was thinking of creating some more images of Jane in different races and nationality first.

There'll be updates soon!

stay with me!
