The Honor Belongs to ANZL
Written in late autumn 2007- Zinnia Hsu
Translated by Shun-Ying Lu
 The birth of each unique work conceals an emotional story, tracks down a time and creates a memory. By creating leather works to detain the vanishing moment of now, is like the ancient way of tying knots to record life facts (emotion knots). Often some cozy memory is recalled when the leather work is being used. Exactly, these are the attraction and power that arouses me to keep working on it.

 Surprisingly, during The 2007 International Federation of Leather Guilds Show, we were honored with so many prizes. Above each individual’s hard working, we want to thank for the disinterested opportunity offered by the President of ANZL, Mrs. Sue Nelson, and the warmhearted support given by Ms. Rachel Hill on behalf of LSLCG. Without both, our participation would not be successfully completed. Here I am on behalf of the members from Taiwan to deliver our truehearted gratefulness and to give this honor back to ANZL. We look forward to the following infinite possibility of leather creations.

 The following works by the members from Taiwan have been presented in the show. Now we like to share with all of you again. It is worth enjoying that every creator expresses oneself diversely.

Love
The notable yet mysterious rule of Nature is that while some old lives starting to wither and some new lives starting to grow. The genes from our genitors are carried on in our lives, and their tirelessly guidances and ardently expectations always accompany us. That is the power of love!

Cascade
Life is full of adventures, just like working on dyeing. Often a surprising result jumps up at the last moment. Trying out all kinds of dyeing methods, the results are always so amazing and exciting. I truly love that feeling, especially when a full spectrum of color is transferred into some practical work. What an unspeakable satisfaction!

Handbag with a fish-shaped ribbon
Forms no need too flattering, looking smooth is just right;
functions no need too diverse, using suitable is just right;
colors no need too complex, simple and pure is just right;
going out no need too showy, feeling comfortable is just right;
with these concepts, how this self-fitted handbag is made.

Gallop
Just because of such a little caring idea added on this former ordinary accessary. The object and its user get to deduce together a oneself's fashion.
