The milk bought from the supermarket has an expiration date, and so does the promise made every word. I always think that passing the early adopter period is a kind of expiration, but maybe it is another kind, sweet and sour fermentation. By chance, I met a sweet and persistent girl in a corner of the city; Ye Jia is good at using dried flowers and fruits as creative materials. Her works hide the elf-like craftsmanship and the emotional portrayal of the forest atmosphere. Although it is no longer a flower of strong affection, it is leading every girl to step into the garden paradise she built.
Wearing a light fragrance and a dress made of interwoven floral flowers, she exudes a shy but slightly mysterious aura. In 2012, Ye Jia founded the brand-Dooors. From the initial jewelry processing, it gradually developed into the now super popular hand-made flower series. "Perhaps its the memory of my childhood! I often forgot to bring my keys and couldn't enter the house. The "door" suddenly seemed like a challenge, so I named the brand Doors. To me, that just means that creation should be more experimental and breakthrough, with diverse expressions. ” Her gentle tone contrasted with the pair of firm expressions.
About the intersection between life and beauty, in the details and where. When he was in college, Ye Jia often went to a nearby flower market on holiday mornings. He discovered that some flowers still retain their color after withering. Therefore, he used the characteristics of dried flowers to give them new value with handmade designs. From making dried flowers to trying combinations of various flower materials, every step is like a bud, waiting to bloom when the work is completed.

"When selecting flower materials, only flowers with high moisture content can be used, so star flowers, babys breath, cassia, sorghum, etc. are more commonly used; dried fruits such as acorns, pine cones, stone fruits and cotton shells , are all great materials!" Most of the flowers are purchased and dried by herself, while some dried fruits are imported from abroad. Her flower and fruit jewelry includes hair accessories, earrings, brooches and other creations, which have become a Flower art is also a practical and collectible art.

"About the works, I always hope to convey gentle and unique feelings! I even hope...to encourage more people who like handicrafts to realize these beautiful things together." Although the works are often customized, many customers will specify the style. Customization never affects her original intention, so the materials are matched with different blessing meanings according to seasons and festivals, or even limited edition creations are launched.
Ye Jia also mentioned that among all the works, he liked the "Flower and Fruit Hairpin" that he first created the most. He started to like handicrafts and came into contact with various markets. However, it is not easy to be selected for the market! Standards vary, and it is bound to be a challenge to stand out in the handicraft trend that has emerged in recent years. When she felt at a low ebb, she created the "Flower and Fruit Hairpin" series, which gave her a lot of inspiration and ideas. This unique style also ushered in more opportunities for Doors.

In addition to the unique shape and strong style, the ingenious naming of the works is also the key to making these accessories come to life. She always likes to give life to her works, so of course she never misses this opportunity! The author really likes the names of dessert series, such as: "Blackcurrant Madeleine Cake", "Plum Sauce Taco Waltz Pastry", "Taro" "Mud frosting cream"; or quite Japanese tone, such as "Stubborn Haystack", "Ai no Sake", "Aomori Kahara" and so on.
As soon as you step into the studio where large bottles and jars are displayed, the dishes of flowers and even dried flowers and plants hanging from the ceiling are enough to make people think that she is an elf in the forest. The corner in front of the window has become the foundation of this garden paradise, where every dream step is taken delicately and carefully.
