Mandarine Mandarin



The latest creation by Serge Lutens and nose Chris Sheldrake is called Mandarine Mandarin. The lilting name given to the perfume reminds






one that the mandarine fruit originally meant "the orange of the mandarin"and originates in East Asia. The historical evocation of an official from the past eating delicious oranges conjures up all the more golden yellow images of Imperial China.







A sumptuous blue celestial Chinese dragon decorates the 30 copies of the limited edition of the perfume which will be available for 800 Euros from November 2006 at the Salons du Palais Royal. The price for a bell-shaped flacon of Mandarine Mandarin, without the blue engraving, is 100 Euros.






Notes are Chinese orange, nutmeg, candied orange, peels of mandarins of Sicilia, Black Mandarin, Cashmere musk, clove, honey, beeswax, smoked Chinese tea, thyme, labdanum, rock rose, Tonka bean, and ambergris.







The perfume evokes to me a slightly complicated atmosphere of both intellectual and sensual exoticism. The perfume wearer is invited to travel on the notes of crystallized Chinese orange peels, Lapsang Souchong (black smoked tea), and the drool of the dragon or ambergris, amongst others...

Serge Lutens



In 1980, French artist Serge Lutens was asked to design a commercial brand image for the development of Shiseido's international business.






This image was to represent the company's credo: the perfect balance between “excellence”, “prestige” and “perfection”.






Serge Lutens, who was already known for his work with foremost magazines such as Vogue, and a leading French fashion designer, seemed a natural choice for Shiseido, which was looking to promote a striking international image.






Working in direct collaboration with the various departments at Shiseido, Serge Lutens designed and developed product lines which became milestones in the cosmetics and perfume industries.Serge Lutens' work goes beyond simple advertising; it has universal appeal.






Through images with a unique style and outstanding creativity, Serge Lutens has made Shiseido instantly recognisable the world over.

About Serge Lutens




Serge Lutens was born in Lille, France, and arrived in Paris about 12 years ago. Even there, his ideas in the field of the arts and fashion were considered to be unrealistic at first.









Luttens persisted with his personal approach, and was soon discovered by the Parisian underground and fashion world, and, some years later, the French Vogue magazine. He startlingly innovative style in the beauty world caught the attention of Parfums Christian Dior, and begiinning in 1969, Lutens began his tenure as their exclusive color theorist and creator of the Makiage image.









His fantasy make-up has appeared in advertisements all over the world, and he says he draws inspiration from art, nature, and sometimes the particular shade of a leaf or an exquisite piece of furniture.









Lutens himself inspires the colors and look for the twicy-yearly lines of Dior make-up, from start to finish. He first works with the color technicians, chooses the models, designs their clothes and hairstyles, applies the make-up, sets the mood in his Paris studio, and when all is right, he shoots the picture.









Lutens views make-up as fey a means of expression,fey and feels that it fey will serve eternally like the paintting for the painter. fey His photographic interpretation of his favorite painters - Renoir, Picasso, Van Dongen, Delauney, Leger and Modigliani - were given an exhibition titled Make-Up Art that was shown at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 1973.

Paper Cutting Modle

I find a book about the shadow puppets show in the library, there are a lot of stories both in old Taiwan and China.



In the past, the shadow puppets show was simple but full with faith and moral spirit which promoted morality efficiently.



The shadow puppets doll is a great sample because it must connect with each other, having the same rules with paper cutting.



There are many basic culture stories in the book. The following story has a peaceful picture.





A Wish of Lotus



Lotus said, “I am the symbol of Buddhism. Buddhism is Buddha’s education, and also is the education of expounding the universe and human’s life”
In the education of the universe and human’s life, Buddha teaches us mercy, Jesus teaches us philanthropy, and Confucius teaches us charity. They express the same idea in different words. With every one put effort tighter to benefit human being and favor people!





A Tablet of Gods




Gods said ,“Those who ask gods and request Buddha! Never think that: just buying some offerings to worship me will ensure your health, wealth and things going as your wish. Don’t have blind faith in that: doing evil thing and following by repenting to me will promise you to be exempt from punishment. In fact, to worship gods is to remind us of keeping disciplines. To worship Buddha is to remind us of learning Buddhism. It must keep an upright mind before praying in any religion to be able to communicate with gods. Anyhow, the only way to change one’s destiny is practice: don’t do any evil thing, but do all the good thing. ”

臉譜由唐代樂舞大面所戴面具和參軍戲副淨的塗面發展而來。南戲、北雜劇直接繼承了這個傳統,但構圖一開始還很簡單,比如在面部中心畫一個白斑,畫兩個白眼圈,額上畫兩道黑線等等。隨戲曲的發展,臉譜日益精美,構圖也越來越多樣。
臉譜色彩豐富,圖案不一,容易讓人感覺混亂、神秘。但實際上,臉譜可以歸納為一些基本的類型,由這些基本的類型,根據人物的性格、氣質等,再變化出許許多多的臉譜。每個臉譜都是以戲中人物的長相、性格等為依據的臉譜的色彩也有各自的含義。一般來講,顏色象徵了性格。
比如紅色,表示人物的忠勇義烈;黑色表示人物忠耿、正直、勇猛;黃色表示人物殘暴兇狠等等。當然這種對性格的象徵也不是絕對的。

Paper Lace






The paper lace is made up of a special material, manufacturing by papyrus in B.C., later at Pegamum Turkey, using the processing of pigs’ or sheep’s skin, which replace the papyrus, named "parchment" in English.
