「 那些在瓜棚下和外婆一起餵麻雀的時光 」
利用絲瓜絡堅韌、通風的特性，做成戶外鳥屋‧是一庭園造景，提供路過的鳥兒暫時的休息所‧放上飼料，等鳥來食用，集成一幅與自然相交的庭園景色‧
" Those memory of feeding birds with my grandma are under the loofah."
Loofah is tough and breathable so I turn it into a outdoor birdhouse. It’s is a garden landscaping and provide a rest stop for wild birds. Put the feed on it and wait for birds coming to create a nature picture.

縫紉？
絲瓜絡本身即為豐厚的纖維，有許多的孔洞‧用縫紉的方式使纖維與線交纏，將每片結合在一起，並且製作版型‧與木頭接合的部分也是穿過絲瓜絡孔洞，用蠟線將兩者固定‧
Sew?
Loofah fiber is rich and hasa lot of little pore . I sew each of loofah fiber with cotton thread . As the cement part with wood I sew by waxed thread to make sure it is tough enough .
