About Puiming

I like my Cantonese name—Pui meaning plentiful and Ming meaning bright and brilliant. Chinese parents love to reflect their expectations on their children in the names given to them. I guess my parents wanted me to be brilliant in at least something; I believe my ability is working with my hands.

I have dainty fingers. I also have patience that allows me to sit for hours, if not days, merely crafting what I am obsessed with. The process is therapeutic; pure and direct interactions with the materials, being able to amplify my creativity and yet following certain norms of the craft.

Trained in France for haute couture embroidery and in Ireland for bobbin lace, my sails remain full on this textile art journey. I will let my passion, determination, and the winds of inspiration guide me until I reach my shore.
