when i saw how my mum made something used to be not in use to become usable
i realized that i knew my mum is indeed a great designer
she prefers to ‘manufacture’ tools to cater to her own needs
which perhaps u may find u have seen that in some DIY TV programmes
of coz including the household stuffs
containers made by plastic drink bottles
wall-hanging bags made by excess shopping bags(with a little pocket for putting her pen~.~)
any endless additional details to make her belongings ‘mum-like’ according to her needs
i used to think all mums could do so
i didnt appreciate it
think i underestimated the potential strengths of my mum-.-
I finally understand why she sometimes like depreciating ppl’s efforts upon their brilliant resume
because their ‘accomplishments’ are kinda like her ‘inborn’ abilities
1. environmental friendly(she likes use unused stuffs)no matter how hard we learn about the environment in theory u can never compare her environmentally friendly actions!
creative(she makes things that no one makes) which usually any good designs will not be recognized unless they are famous
productive(she makes things within 30mins) people nowadays tranfer thier designs to be produced by others which lengthens the time spent
tangible(she makes only useful things)needless to say there’re always something look useful but indeed unnecessary(like most of japanese stuffs-.-e.g.banana hanger)
highly cost-sensitive(only her time and techniques are spent)
she is far more competitive than me in this sense-.-
get to let her skills be recognized!
p.s.hey mervin dun tease about my Japanese-.-i didnt mean to show i am good at japanese…..indeed there’s still a long way to go!!and let’s work hard together^^
