Do you remember this? When everyone sent in all their hearts for Zhou Mi~ XD That was a little over a year ago! Click through to see an update~
Once upon a time, I had harebrained idea that I wanted to give Zhou Mi something physical, with everyone's love on it! :) I didn't want to put it on paper, because I was pretty sure it'd crumple, and he'd get something that wasn't fit to be looked at - especially if he had to take it on a flight or something. The only way I could think of was to put it on cloth. Of course, I knew I would have almost no chance to give it to him myself. But there's always a way~
I printed out our digital gift onto an iron-on transfer, and put it onto some twill I had hanging around. I got sparkly thread and little things to decorate it with, and sewed it up for him. Mostly it came out looking like a big pot holder, because I was doing it at the Very Last Second the night before I was to leave to start my journey. I like doing things Very Last Second. So it didn't end up perfect.
Fast forward a week and something, and there I am in Seoul. I got cute stationary, a bag, and tissue paper. With a lot of help translating what I wanted to say, and packaging it prettily from Rebecca, I included a letter, the cloth collage, and another little gift as well. With luck, I was able to pass it off to @ hyebii in Seoul, in case she would be able to hand it to Zhou Mi.
And she did~ :) But here are a few pictures before we get to that~
The front, ironed on, with a gray border.
Detail - sparkly thread in peacock blue. Because Zhou Mi is sparkly. XD
The back! The text running top and bottom are the countries from which fans submitted their hearts. ^^ Just in case he couldn't read them on the front.
The big block of text in the middle is the same text sent along with the original image: Our dear Zhou Mimi! Do you know? Everywhere, there are people who support you~ Even though you can't see us, and hear our cheers, but we are always here! Everyday, we think of you, send our well-wishes, and jiayou~ Below are well-wishes from Mitang from all over the world^^ Some of these countries are ones you've never been to~ But your smile and your song, we've felt them. [We] hope you can feel our love for you ♥
It had heat-affixed rhinestones, sequin flowers, and an iron-on koala.
The text in the picture above beside the koala reads:
"4 days
111 fans
27 countries
A world of love"
The letter that went with it~ I put the translation on top of it so no one had to deal with my writing. I tried, and hopefully the characters are legible. XD
And below a few pictures of the packaging:
Below is a second letter that was included, which was attached to a necklace that I had picked out and bought.
Zhou Mi flew out of Seoul to Shenzhen not long ago, and some fans including @ hyebii were there to see him off! You can see the pictures here.
You can see him holding the little bag. \o/// A huge thanks goes to her for all the trouble of keeping the bag safe, and then getting it to him! And all the fans that were there as well, talking to him, and taking pics, and waiting so patiently for him~ :) To see pictures of him holding the bag, it was almost more than I could dream~ <3
So if he did or didn't see it before, he is able to see the product of everyone's love for him~~ It wasn't just "my" gift to him, it was from all of us. :)
A huge amount of thanks goes to everyone who helped in this project~ From translating, right down to actually putting it into his hands. ^^ And of course, everyone who participated in the first place~ <3 You all are wonderful!

no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 06:21 am (UTC)Haha. Well, the jacket on the Questionable Scale ranks higher than a number of things for me. He can pull off that leather look quite nicely, with the right pieces. XD~~ So here's hoping for those, haha~
no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 05:45 am (UTC)XD Seeing this actually made me tear up~ I wonder if he'll write something on his weibo about it....
I'm literally grinning so hugely right now! (Lol remembering my horribly writ Korean followed by Pin Yin. On yellow paper. Because Zhou Mi is sunny enough that he deserves no less.)
So.... I am kinda sorta fangirl spazzing right now! I am so happy he actually got it! Putting it on cloth is a very good idea. He could hang it on his wall or something, it's a lot more durable now.
So happy!
no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 06:22 am (UTC)Sadly we'll probably not hear anything about it, since he doesn't use weibo any more, but it's enough that he sees it~~
Yes, the yellow \o// It stands out so nicely. XD~~ But yes, much more durable, and won't break or crumple. <3<3
no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 09:59 am (UTC)I have a feeling that the Only13 thing left way too big of a scar on them that we've just barely begun to fix.
On another note, in one of the pictures you guys took, it looks like Zhou Mi and the guy he's with (Why can't I pinpoint him. I know that I know him.) are looking in a bag, I'm wondering if it's the one with our gift.
