A book by the wife of a famous Chinese writer.
It's written after the death of her husband and daughter.
The name is "WE THREE".
There are little stories about the days they were together.
I'm touched by a scene that papa messed up her daughter's bed and got caught right in the middle of the "crime scene". At that time, the nasty papa was already over 80.

We made iza to collect clips she dropped onto the floor by using 2 magnets.
She did it happily.
And, she found this (as below) amazing.
But, I found that she tends to be very minimalistic.
She excluded all the others and only left a piece of clip and 2 magnets.
This tendency reveals in her other works too.

This is another work by iza.
It's a headpiece.
Carol (iza's cousin) carries it nicely.

She called this a "scarf"
She made this out of scrap paper yesterday.
The detail on the shoulder is beautiful!!!
And, she's trying to cut out a pocket when sh'e wearing it.
She did this so spontaneously.
She's like an inborn designer!

Love the dog

Iza built this lovely house with a swimming pool on the top.

Some nice paper folds by iza

papa and mama

I just sneak into office,
Leaving Iza with her cousins and auntie.
They are watching TV (DVD).
She knows that I do not like her watching TV for hours.
They are so addict to TV,
They just stick onto the sofa,
Only move when eating or going to toilet.
I prefer iza plays with the pets, run, jump, sleep or even daydream...
Anything but not stay in front of TV for a whole day.
Since I cannot stop them watching TV,
I stare at iza without saying anything before I go to the office.

"I will watch only for a while,
And I will watch outside the window."
iza said with her big eyes glittering.

Our first postcard to iza.
We sent it from Shanghai when we attended a conference there.
We got this one month latter!

Seeds collected by iza.
They fall and fly like snowflakes during early summer.



Details of "fairy gown"- the first dress I made for iza.
