Glass Bead Making

Hey hey, this is the latest art work i have done~ The GLASS BEADmaking !!!

Cool? huh?

This was my first time making the glass bead and the house owner+ my housemate + my friend, Eva was my teacher (kinda funny huh?the long description i meant)...-.-" cool

Be Serious,okiesS?

The first picture shows the color of the glass rods..There are quite a number of colors available, pick your color and start working on it..




Here are some sample glass rods..



















Prepare all the equipments like the burner torch, glass rods, mandrel (thin rod), gas tank.Also,Get yourself ready for it...



Yeah, heat the glass with very high temperature until it changes to liquid form..





Yeah, these are the products...

Conclusion: Um,
Good teacher + good student + good material = Good glass bead
Actually, the whole process only takes a few minute,and it is simple,why not try to make your own bead??

Cool Tip: Be patient, do not rush when u wound the molten glass around the mandrel.

The Conference in Denver,Colorado

Date: Jan 2-5, 2008

Location: Grand Hyatt

The trip was my first trip in the States and it was such a fantastic experience, really learned a lot during the conference and the workshop messages were so powerful that seem like was talking to my heart.AMAZING~
Learning is one of the life processes!

Second row from left: Daniel (group leader), Rich, Amy

Throughout the small group meeting, we shared our learnings and experiences. I was so happy to be in the group. Before we dismissed the last meeting, we prayed for each another and also prayed for everyone that we would apply what we'd learnt during the 4 days conference in our lives.
Yeah! Life is burning ~
My Life Impact 2008~

The Square Dancing

We had square dancing at night,yeah,i think most of us had a great fun at the ball.

Crazy~one two~ one two~ left hand star~muahaha

I've got the chance to meet other people while changing our partners each round. Not bad!!!

During the Free Time ~

Yeah, is time to show u guys around~ hehe...just through some pictures..

This is the 16th street, i think this is the main street of the mall..like the town so much.


As is shown in the picture, there are a lot of nice buildings in the town, the building designs are very different from my homecountry.
The fragrance of century~ A bit difficult to understand this description I know,but this is the best phrase i could think of for the scenery in the town.

This is the peacemaker bus we saw on the street

It was designed and made by a group of european who came to denver to share the Gospel of Christ.

I like the design, so just took some pictures before we left.







Does the clock tower look nice?

another thing i like in Denver is the light decoration on the street

Follow me..still have some other things to show u~

There you go~
WEE~ The Nike Town!!!
hehe,you can get a lot of good deals in the store..hehe..
Quite a big store, good for shopping...
Um,i think i still prefer to go window shopping
DUuuuuuuuuuUU.....HHH...

My First WSU T-Shirt Design

This is the design which I submitted for the WSU T-Shirt Design Competition in 2007.




Total judging sheets received: 7


Here are the comments:

1. Creativity-> 6

2. Originality-> 6

3. Neatness of Presentation-> 1 (s0bbing)

4. Wear ability-> 0 (argggg!)

5. Use of WSU School Spirit-> 0 (sweating)

I was stunned when i read the judging sheets at the first time."Is it really so bad? did they took somebody's design as mine?"

It was my first competition in Wichita State University and I was too new at that time,i knew nothing about my school at all.

Okies, let's move on the analysis part

I thought about the comments "calmly" for a few days, and i realized that i was not making a design for T-shirt but for the poster or logo. OHHH! (look at the 3rd and 4th comments)
Besides,it is not practical, the picture should be made smaller (cause somebody might need to tuck the shirt in). The last and the most important thing: the spirit of WSU. Actually i had thought about it for a long time,even after i turned my design in. OHHHH, I should included the WuShock picture. Huh? Don't understand?

Let me just briefly explain it to you.

WuShock is a symbol of WSU. To get more information information about WuShock, please go to http://www.wichita.edu/thisis/aboutus/whatisashocker.as

Anyway, i got good rating for the creativity and originality.

Personally,i like this design even though it did not win the competition. hehe,i will keep it up and continue to participate in other activities.

The Pencil Drawing

Hey,do you guys recognize the two fellows in the picture?

Yeah, that's my favorite "Veggie Tales"

The two main character in the film are Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber..

The stories in the film are mostly based on the famous stories in the bible.

Personally,I like the way they present the message of Gospel and it gives a better understanding to the audience! Great Job!!!

Place: Jessica's house ( My temporary refugee during the winter break)

I drew this picture without any reason. Um, maybe I should say there is something somehow inspired me to draw it.

Tools: A "super" short 2B pencil and an A4 paper (silly to tell?)

Cool Tip: Draw something you like by using whatever tool u have
