you are so deer to me

hey! 
you know what?


you are so deer to me.

the deer and unexpected soirée

deer (di(ə)r/)
noun
a hoofed grazing or browsing animal, with branched bony antlers that are shed annually and typically borne only by the male.

soirée (swäˈrā/)
noun
an evening party or gathering, typically in a private house, for conversation or music.

(When I was about to start this new blog about art, spaces, inspirations, books, thought, and the fine things in life; I was thinking about the grown up version of The Picnic Girl. I do not spend that much of time under the tree anymore..yet, I still enjoy it nevertheless. That is how it has to contain a certain element of the nature and reflects my current lifestyle at the same time. That's how the title come up.

On my wedding day (which was the day that being the picnic girl is no more relevant); everything that I wear symbolize something.. yet, one thing that always stay in my mind is the way they draw two lines at the end of the bride's eyebrows and make it looks like an antler. Apparently, it does represent the image of a deer-- for a woman is expected to be agile and tough, while at the same time remain graceful. Unconsciously, I start collecting deer figurines to remind me of the three qualities of a deer. As for the soirée, that is to illustrate the world I live in right now. Having spent a lot of time on a small gathering for a conversation every now and then, I feel that the word wrap things up pretty well. Beside.. life recently feels like an unexpected soirée)

So, voila!
