The 2nd part of the series on words on brass pendants. Coming soon~! Hand-stamped, customizable word pendants! Look out for that. Now, more about this series.

So many things are said…so many people don’t mean what they say or are afraid to say what they mean or feel or think. Some say rubbish or tell lies. It’s a pity!

Actions speak louder than words. That’s true. Pictures speak a thousand words. True enough. But words still matter. They give meaning and make understanding easier. When some feelings or thoughts are uncommunicated or repressed, we feel worse about ourselves or live with some regrets that the other party didn’t get the message, or understand our real feelings. It’s never easy to speak…but at least, it’s an avenue or a medium bestowed upon us by powers above, a gift that we shouldn’t abuse, neglect or take for granted. Say it with care. Say it with love.

If you like this series, check these out.

That day, I was looking at the birds at Bishan Park during the bazaar, while ogling at the dogs that were passing by, totally distracted by the birds, children and people all round, and probably shouting in their minds ‘BIRD!’. (Those who have watched the animation ‘Up!’ would know what I mean.)

In fact, I’m not much of a bird person. The ones that plaque the trees along Orchard Road really frighten me with their excited chirps in the evening. Probably I feel that their droppings might befall on my head anytime. But, I do think our little feathered friends have interesting shapes and such adorable body lines that really inspired this range of handmade necklaces and earrings. Some of those canaries, doves, and egrets that I’ve seen in bird parks, aviaries, nature reserves and as pets, are so endearing with their round eyes and bright songs.

Sometimes, I thought how wonderful it would be to take flight. Flying away to someplace beautiful, whenever your heart calls for it, or just hovering in the skies, taking in the view below among fluffy clouds, would be simply wonderful. If only I have wings…
