To Have This FINISH and workmanship on this Wooden CAR B-uni that I am holding in my hand , there is otherside of the PICTURE
There is a big Story behind that I want to share with you guys!!
I spent A lone 3-4 months last summer , and
No .... I am going to take you to Journey of making products in China
Sometime need to take these trains to reach Factories on Wooden production!!!!
People with Hopes, People with dreams, People some going to make money, some going back to their families
Sometimes Smiles are hopes and pure .........
Long Journeys , Long train rides over 45 hours sometimes for them, going to their hope
With their poor instant noodles
and Smiles always smiles
If you find seats, you lucky
Amazing to see these workers
Working with them side by side on samples, if not , you will bever get desired perfection and even shape :)
Oh After I involve, now we getting perfect finish on the product
YES !!! DONE........
LEGS of Tables, Cars....
Reviewing samples with factory managers
My Mussel haha.... tried many times, many many times to find perfect shape
First sample development of paper clip holder sea shells, Mussels concept
Herb Holders so many mistakes by factory even I stayed 3 months
Painting room in Factory
Oh My lovely work.... Dream Of Her Wall Clock set. I love this one but they made 8 times sample to get it right but still not right :)
When Two Board Of The clock boards put together look like Macbook : )
Tea Light Candle Holder samples, Interesting concept... not completed
Was Glossy and Round
Matt and Flat better ? I changed to Matt Black
Yes I said that !!
Hand Craft from workers hands
First samples of Tears Of Forest
They look Georgous
Thinking and smiling things either going well or I just lost all my nervous balance :) Both case smiling
Total involvement , I am with sample Master :)
Painting master, sometimes we work happy but most of the time I go mad :)
No Worries He does NOT understand English :)
working till midnight, not a joke.... paint gone wrong, started re paintings
When You working in factories months, sometimes you go crazy, working like this and start panting things
Paint Process
This One Remind me Hayao Miyazaki San Character NO FACE from Movie Spirited Away
Salt & Pepper Shaker
Factories sometimes drive you crazy.. most of the times actually
Meetings again and again
it took 3 months to make 17 prototype
I call many times urgent meetings!!!!! Meetings, again and again telling same things but still all these guys making careless mistakes and I explaning again and again
Photos right after Painting to shift glossy shiny paint to MATT , Look more ELEGANT
Sometimes things may goes Bad, sometimes things may like grey skies
Illegal Child Workers, Even in the factories of very Famous Brands
Too sad to see..
Some of them come with their Mothers
Too Dangerous and Illegal
Millions of wooden cars
Sad part is None of the brand , famous world toy brands even DO NOT CARE Where the Wood sources come from!!! Illegal Wood use So Much
But Not always Dark Sky and Bad side of the commercial world!
Sky can be so awesome
And Kids Can be FREE !!! Sometimes You see naked running kids around
When Friends Visit you , then You feel like you back to Human world again and Go Aound to Enjoy Natural Beauties
Green Lakes
Local people never like to enjoy Outdoor
They just like to stay indoor places no window, Drink , eat, drunk
They not really appretiate Nature
And Sometimes You meet curious little things, great captured , and Posed by Her :)
