Power of Making / 創作的力量
上個星期去了維多利亞和亞伯特美術館，目前有個手作的展覽在進行中，展出的作品琳瑯滿目，從相機到腳踏車到衣飾，我特別喜歡客座策展人丹尼爾查尼寫的一段話：
「創作是我們解決問題、表達想法和改變世界最有力的方式，我們創作的物品和創作方式為我們自身寫下定義，也透露我們想成為的人。
對很多人來說，創作是生活所須，對其它人來說，創作則是他們選擇的職志，是他們思考、發明和創新的方式。而對某些人，能創造某件物品並且說『是我做的！』本身就是件開心的事，創造的力量在於它滿足了上述每一個人類的需求和渴望。
手藝和獨創性達到極高水準的藝術家可以創造出令人驚豔之物，但每個人都有創造的能力，不論是創作生活必須品或高技術作品的知識，都是人類最珍貴的資產。」
Last week on my visit to Victoria and Albert Museum, I found an ongoing exhibition on the power of making. There are various handmade objects on display from cameras to bicycles to clothing. I am especially impressed by the introductory comments by the guest curator Daniel Charny:
Making is the most powerful way that we solve problems, expressing ideas and shape our world. What and how we make defines who we are, and communicates who we want to be.
For many people, making is critical for survival. For others, it is a chosen vocation: a way of thinking, inventing and innovating. And for some it is simply a delight to be able to shape a material and say 'I made that'. The power of making is that it fulfills each of these human needs and desires.
Those whose craft and ingenuity reach the very high levels can create amazing things. But making is something everyone can do. The knowledge of how to make--both everyday objects and highly-skilled creations--is one of humanity's most precious resources.

i carry your heart with me / 你在我心裡
來到倫敦之後，一直要重新經營My Little Room，雖然外在的誘惑很多，我每天儘量抽時間做新商品，可是我選了一個很複雜的開頭，我想要做月曆，卻又想用能打動我的主題，前一陣子重讀康明斯的小詩「你在我心裡」，便立志要重新詮釋它。雖然我沒有特別喜歡貓，但最近看到許多美麗的貓，就想把新環境給我的影響放到新作品中，今天終於完成了，這可是我花了好幾天、犧牲出去玩的時間做的，不過我很開心，這代表我的心靜下來了。
After coming to London, I've wanted badly to reopen My Little Room. Though there are tons of temptations outside, I try to spare at least some time designing the new item every day. However, I chose a pretty complicated beginning. I'd love to make a calendar, but I wanted to go for a topic that would speak to me. A while ago, I came across e. e. cummings' i carry your heart with me again, and I was determined to re-illustrate it. I don't take a special liking to cats, but lately I've seen many beautiful cats. I figured I should add the element of my new living place to the work. I am glad to have finished it today. Well, this is the result of my sacrificing days for fun, but I am quite happy because that means I can concentrate on drawing again.
我隨身帶著很多人的心，今天小方和我說他想我想到快哭了，我和他說，我們都在交新朋友，等我們各自收集五百個朋友就會再相見了，那時候我們的心會很大很大吧！
I carry many people's hearts with me. Today Von told me that he misses me so much that he feels like crying. I told him that our mission is to make new friends, so when each of us meets about 500 friends, we'll see each other again! By then, our hearts will have become ENORMOUS!
