My Story

Kia ora! I am Abi Zeng, the soul behind Happy Creation.
 
I design and handcraft polymer clay earrings from scratch, creating truly unique, one-of-a-kind pieces from my studio in Nelson, New Zealand.
 
I am of Chinese heritage, and my cultural background is a source of inspiration and grounding in all I create.

How It Started

Happy Creation began in 2023 at a time when life challenged me to find new meanings and expressions of joy. As I explored new experiences—boxing, dancing, and jewellery making—I discovered that leaning into creativity was not just healing, but transformative. That was when Happy Creation opened its doors in a beautiful, unexpected way.
 
My truth? You are stronger than you ever imagined.  When you pour your heart into what you love, everything else falls into place.
 
Today, these newfound passions enrich my life. I box twice a week, dance once a week, and handcraft my earrings whenever inspiration runs through me, pouring joy into every piece.
 
“Not all storms come to disrupt your life; some come to clear your path.”
                                                                                          — Paulo Coelho

Embracing "Useless Things"

Growing up in a culture that prioritised academic and economic achievement, I often felt guilty for indulging in what others might deem “useless” pleasures. Now I celebrate these joys—like pastel painting and gentle daily rituals—that help me connect deeply with myself and others.

This journey has invited me to cultivate compassion, self-love and gratitude in ways that ripple outwards. If my creations bring a spark of joy to you, then they have found their purpose.

Final Thoughts

Love is within so please love yourself and be your own best friend. Never give up on yourself, and don’t let anyone tell you how to live your life. Every experience is perfect for our growth. May your life be filled with love, light, and joy. Sending you blessings from my heart to yours.

Much love,
Abi
Handcrafted from my heart to yours
