I got an primary understanding of Corpse literature. And I summed up the features of it For my perspective view. it was like a lot of messy things together but made up an unexpected surprise, so I started to think about what my final outcome was trying to present,.I'm not satisfied with the messy life now ,and I want to create a life full of surprises.So I started looking for my habits, I like lying on the grass, I love Mary Poppin's magical world, I like to explore the wonderful world as Alice.
17-19 Jan 2020
During the weeks, I was consider what display ways I want to use. Because the concept is too abstract, don't know how to present it without a particular shape, only the support of surrealism and magical realism. I think I can combine some of their expression ways in color or do some strange collages to reflect my idea.
I was inspired by the Alice in wonderful world especially when she ate eat me cookies and drink me water, and I find it interesting that she looked at the world from her own perspective.
Observation by magnifying glasses
21 JAN 2020
I drew some sketches about how to wear it with some artist's reference.I think it is more focus on what you see, so I researched some types of glasses in the past time. That is quite interesting ,there are a lot of different wearing ways inspired me like holding it , folding between the nose ，placing by one side...or connect with the ring sth like that, more interactive.

I collected some pictures to decide the style of creature.
I created some situation when they feel happy.And I also tested some pictures and summarized the downside and advantages.
Fist try
- too rough
- not focus on monsters
Second try
- testing the way to control the colours, more appealing
- happy colours
Third try
- a little messy , but like this style
- creatures not detail
- looks drew quickly , not designing
Forth try Final creatures
- though lack of 3D structures
- combing the structures with characters in ShanHaiJing as my friend , make my personal style

We are all equal in our seats, enjoying our gifts. As humans, running animals, and flowers without words, we have existed on this blue planet for thousands of years. We do not deprive each other of the freedom to think and act. If she wants to, she can try to gallop on the grassland like a horse, or one day she can shut herself in a small box and lie on the ground as an unearthed relic, or, if she wants to, she can wake up at any time and fly away. If you can exchange all the ideas in this world: the thought of beetles, the thought of old oxen, the thought of mimicry octopus, there are mountains and rivers around the tree green thoughts, we exchange, take out one by one and let the unimpeded, we hold their own friends, enjoy their own feelings, that will be our the wonderful sound of datong, that will be how ecstatic, life is infinite stretched and increasingly rich, abandon the worry, to an alternative thinking to make up for our taste does not recognize karmic obstacles. Of course, the basis of all this, for our future, is mainly to see if we can exchange your and my thoughts face to face.
I associate strange creatures with characters in the ShanHaiJing , which contains many folk tales of monsters, strange monsters and legends, has long been regarded as a book of witchcraft. Some people believe that what recorded in this book is too absurd to be credible, while others affirm its value, which is used to investigate strange objects, exotic customs and the situation of mountains and rivers.They just like my friends survived in my ideal and surprised world.
So I decided to create some creatures then draw the monsters and print them on acrylic or sth.
Oberved the snail
23 Jan 2020
I use a magnifying glass to observe the creatures ,and want to compare the effects of glass or acrylic printing. I print patterns on laser paper and on embroidery bandages to use crumpled, burning candles to express the fuzzy and distorted effect on a rotating sample. I want to make the final finished product into a switch design, means leaving my friends in that world, it's always been my idealization.

I used mirror to make some ''switch design'',like when you adjust to the right angle ,the creatures would be reflected into you eyes in some body parts can open and close.One of the design is using the pushing power between 2 elbow，to reflects 1 creatures into the mirror
