1. Tea Salon

My tea habit rigidly follows a style and pattern of Victorian era

Above is my tea set with great splendiferous. British Black Tea is a conductor of the drinker's high-spiritness and elegant taste. During tea time, my mentality is at calmest and most eased condition. A full reveal of chivalry and honour is shown in the love towards tea.

A tea cup with plate, a tea pot and a cake-stand are the rudimentary elements to form proper teaing. A more impressive set contains a timer, a heat isolator, a sugar jar, a milk jar, and a filter. Earl Grey, Orange Blossom, Darjeeling, and English Breakfast (in sequence of favour) are the flavours I enjoy the most. 3-4 spoonful of tea leaves are necessary for a pot of fine tea. Tea bags are not allowed. The smaller the tea leaves are chopped, the more intensive the taste becomes. 3 minutes with boiled water is necessary for blooming. A timer must be used in case the time exceeds the optimum level. Deserts (cakes, muffins, cookies, and macaroons etc.) are enjoyed combining with the tea. I personally dislike sugar or milk in tea, despite only when black tea get too bitter because it is let in the pot for a slightly long while. During the tea time, a book can be enjoyed. Or, friends of mine can be invited to form a salon. Exchange of ideas and experiences perfects our knowledge in various fields.

2. Doll Above is my doll Victoria. Ball joint dolls are high-standard hand-made toys originated and flourished among the aristocracy in 17th century Germany. The original material of dolls is china, which is fragile and heavy. In modern world, the joints and body components are made out of resin, and elastics are used to chain up the body components. Modern doll industry flourished in Japan before spread world-wile. The process of doll making is so complicated that it takes at least 1 month for each before starting painting the make-up. Mostly dolls are costumised with a significantly high price. Hair, eyes clothing and make-up of dolls are changeable according to preference.

3. Victorianism

Above are some of my artworks that reflect the Victorian style. Victorian is a style that applies to many fields, especially art, architecture, music and life style. It is a combination of many revivals of previous styles including: Neo-Gothic, Neo-Classical, Neo-Romantics and Jacobethan. The flourish of the style occurred while Her Majesty Queen Victoria was the grand governor of the world, before evolving into other styles such as Edwardian and Art and Craft. It is extremely precious that such many styles would flourish at the same time period.
