My 2015 in a nutshell

--

So here's my 2015 in a nutshell. Was an epic year full of ups and downs like riding on a rollercoaster, it's indeed a good one, have learned so much.

smile emoticon 好的，這是阿嚕的2015在核桃殼裡(哈哈把諺語照字面直翻好可愛耶）很快速的挑了9張照片拼出2015的樣貌，高潮迭起有夠刺激，就像在坐雲霄飛車一樣。遠程大旅行跟週末小旅行穿插著，跟家人第一次一起踏上南半球，而自己也第一次踏上美利堅合眾國。開心露營還不小心打造了一台移動廚房，上了最喜歡的花藝課重拾建築魂 ; 同時也是失控研究繪本的一年，因為身邊捧油的小孩都嘣嘣嘣的出生了! 好的，2016也要繼續加油了！

Interview: J and B the shop in Columbia Road,East London / 東倫敦哥倫比亞路花卉市集上的溫暖小店

oki, the story goes like this, I was showing Joan around London when she visited me, and that day we went to Columbia Road. We walked into this lovely store and I immediately decided that I'm gonna write about this place, then I approach Buddug, who designs all the enamel pieces. Then we set a time on a weekday to do the interview properly, the day I went , it was Jessie who's taking care of the store, she was upcycling a vintage arm chair with new fabric. Below is what we've talked about, enjoy :-)

A little bit of the Welsh countryside in the city.


J&B The Shop is run by two independent makers originally from Snowdonia, rural North Wales. They create hand made and personalized jewellery, clothes and home ornaments inspired by traditional making methods. J&B is the combination of Jessie Chorley & Buddug Humphreys, starting from a stall in Broadway Market in 2005, they take lots of commision work from local people ever since and the name has been built up gradually by word of mouth. Then the stall is not big enough to showcase all their works, they found a place to rent on Columbia Road.

把Project 365變成一本書：印簿玩 X Ruru's Laboratory

-

關於Project 365 X Instagram是Ruru's Laboratory發起的一個日常小計畫，一天一張照片，給世界一個小而溫暖的探險筆記。原本是一年的計畫，每天持續po一張，頭幾天還有辦法follow這樣的節奏，但後還實在是太忙了，所以花了兩年，也就是730天的時間才走完365天。

回顧完整的Project 365 with Instagram可以到 Tumblr 這裏看，真是幸好當初有把這些照片和文字複製在tumblr一份，不然Facebook上粉絲團的post都好難找唷。這一次收到 印簿玩 的合作邀請，實在是無比無比的開心。因為原本就一直有在思考要把這個Project變成一本書，但遲遲沒有付諸行動，這次的合作可以說是完成了心願呀！

Plant,Architecture,Reading & Bakery 花與閱讀：質物霽畫讓我遇見中村好文與神幸紀一起打造的夢想麵包屋

關於閱讀，來講講最近嘗試的閱讀方式好了。

前陣子因為上了“質物霽畫”的花藝課，因為花藝老師李霽是建築背景，所有的花藝作品幾乎都是以做建築的角度作為思考出發點，我好喜歡上李霽老師的課，創作由一個事件與很多個時間點的剖析開始，那個時間點給你的記憶，情緒，周圍的場域和氛圍...等的。而植物本身則只是用來描述這個事件、想法的媒介，所以要忘記它是一個“完整的花”，而是要去看他的形狀，顏色飽和鮮豔或是冷靜溫和，要柔軟的花瓣或是有力的枝條，摸起來的質地，要通透或是毛絨絨的感覺。

我在做這段“旅行事件”時，想要有經歷好幾圈事件的感覺，

於是就先割下畫圖紙的局部（不切斷）捲成一圈圈，

再用只剩下葉脈的米黃色葉子貼在圈圈上，製造凹凸波形立體感。

完成之後就像是整個“事件隧道”
