mmm...

in addition to "digi-holly", i've been learning stuff with a technique book of Nokia Inoue lately. learning all kinds of tecs and tips from a scratch is really tough, but soooo fun !!!

my back and shoulders are screaming for easing...
it's time to go for "seitai"
---no pain no gain---   

あーあ~

Soetsu Yanagi said;
beauty that is identified with use. it is beauty born of use.
apart from use there is no beauty of craft.
therefore, things made that do not stand up to use
or that ignore utility can barely be expected to contain this kind of beauty.

soon leaves turn to red and gold...

Mingei summer trip in Tottori




a bundle of great moments...

happy birthday kurumilk

aug. 24 was kurumilk's 5th birthday!!!
i sent her a pair of shoes called "lemon-pie". she hearts all those glittering star shaped decors and wanted them so badly... she stressed that kids can run fast in these and she NEEDs a pair for the coming athletic meet. my sister is not a type of mum who buys what kids want especally for outfits, k does know who's the best to ask...  
my mum offered a stuffy called "chiffon osewani-narimasu", amazing thing is that chiffon can talk over 100 words. every single stuff has got a kawaii unique name to attract both kids and adults in a big way. 
5 already... happy birthday Kurumi!!!

home made "anpan"

it's been raining all morning...to lift my dull spirit up, i started the day with baking anpan  mmm... , smells yum!!!

Baiu Blues

It rains enough to make it hard to plan outings in the rainy season... no sun no walk --- doesn't mean that i don't take her out, she's the one who detests it. poor banko seems like pouting on the sofa(。- -。)

Multihued hydrangeas are in full bloom in the backyard, that's one of the few things that I like about this season of the year... it's simply beautiful !!!
  

food inspired works


coffee, tea/chai, salad, pasta, sashimi, grilled fish and meat etc. ... ...
what the most inspiring for my pottery making is always "FOOD"!

SEW FAR SEW GOOD!

A summer dress for my niece Kurumi.
When we do what we love, time flies away and today was such a productive day.
Ikea fox is a real photogenic! Hope Kurumi looks better than her in this ;)
