Sequel to Rockstar on a Mission…
Rockstar on a mission!
This was a workshop by custom designer pixelryasia (email pixelrybox@gmail.com for inquiries); they usually do jewelry for grownups, but recently offered a kids’ workshop to make medals/ pendants.
Rockstar drawing up the design…
Rockstar did like, 5 different solar system drafts, but we still decided on the first attempt…
“We love you Daddy wherever you are” – Solar system, geddit? 🙂
More action shots…
It’s a bit meticulous, but not too difficult…
The bizarre coincidence is this bit happened maybe 3 weeks ago; and then Kings would tell us he had a big work event Father’s Day weekend, and initially would even have to fly off straight from there – yes, on Father’s Day
Around the time I found out Kings is actually out for a lot of Father’s Day weekend, I was running back and forth for household supplies and to pick up the finished piece (the mold, carved in Rockstar’s handwriting, was sent to the factory to be cast in silver – and btw, Rockstar had to re-do the mold too, because while you have to carve the lines in fairly deeply, you do have to be careful it doesn’t pierce through the other side).
And then I opened the jewelry presentation box for the first time upon picking it up with lots of unglam grocery bags and things around me in the cab and saw:
OMG coincidence? “We love you Daddy wherever you are.”
Someone Up There knew Kings might have to be away for work/ travel? I didn’t think too much more about it then, except for the Huh? Interesting little coincidence-thing…
Then it was the Miss’ turn…
(She threaded Kings’ medal and then I framed it, also a color changers keychain attached to the picture frames for the grandfathers, and then a bunch of photo frame gifts to decorate for other fathers in the family (I had them do keychains for the dads when my inlaw family had that recent HK trip, but then I thought maybe the frames for a favorite pic from the trip too – and had Rockstar write some notes to put in them…)
And then the circus joined Kings at work for Fathers Day.
This is them sticking it out in back while Kings was speaking, until the Miss started gabbling something and people started turning around… we exited just before she dropped her quiche on the carpet in front of the developer and some others in the entrance <sweat>
It was a very busy weekend because both kids had some classmate’s events, bday or other.. And then I remembered the medal Rockstar made. We love you wherever you are.
Oh, secret mission is for Father’s day! I should have got it earlier. Thanks for this post!
The words are so meaningful and with a design by Rockstar.
Is there something on the finished piece that you are referring to as a coincidence? I couldn’t figure that part out by looking at the photo.
Oops bad blogging – I meant because he was travelling… I hadn’t realised he would be away, then I realised he would be away, then not so away…… And throughout all the changes (not just this trip, this actually happens a lot, because of his job nature – at least twice he hasn’t been on a flight I thought he was on because of last minute meetings) I just think it’s cast in silver. (We love you anywhere, we are supposed to love you anywhere – that was the “message” or “lesson” I got out of the “coincidence” I guess.)
Oh and btw he’s in KL now. I think. Let me know if you see him walk by you on the street 😀 (for real though, that’s actually happened couple times before when he wasn’t in HK can you imagine!! “Did Kings just walk by me on the street?” Can be pretty freaky.)
Hahaha, yes, will do if I see him in KL town (but then I seldom go to KL town center). OK, got it now about the coincidence.
Thanks for explaining. 🙂
I’m going to delurk to say “Thanks for asking Mun & thanks for explaining Aileen – now i get it too about the coincidence” 😀
You are welcome, Ozzie. 🙂
