New Release YUZEN WASHI Paper ( Rice Paper)

A lot of new items from Japan arrived recently.   I 'm showing some beautiful rice paper today.

Those paper is used for craft activities such as card making, scrapbook, wrapping paper or just collection. I also saw some artists in the craft markets were using  those paper for necklaces as well

However, a lot of  my customers say that " It's too beautiful to cut! I just put it in the frame!"

 

Story about YUZEN WASHI

Yuzen Miyazaki from NOTO ( north Japan) used be a fan artist . He developed his art work in Kanazawa. His art works were used for KIMONO, paper and more since his art works got so popular in Kyoto in EDO period / Ganroku period ( 1688-1703). His art works are still very popular in the all over the world :)

Yuzen Miyazaki ( 1653-1736)

TheThe size is quite big 46 x 60.5cm! The price is $13 each. It's bargain, isn't it?!   
Japanese rice paper is nice and strong as well!  The idea how to use them is all up to you! 
             

Please visit " Paper" in my web site for more items. Thank you.       

   

  Merry Christmas      

I wish you have lovely Christmas!

The Sunset Market in Victoria Hall Fremantle

We had great night in the Victoria Hall in Fremantle!!

The organizers for this market did really good job!  Especially, MARABOU owner put a lot of effort for making great displays. I loved her tree so much! I think that was the symbol of this market on the poster.

We had so many incredible artists in the market and all visitors were enjoying the atmosphere, band and off course shopping! My favorite artist in this market was the Designer & Applied Artist, Jill Yates! She had a stall just in front of me and just impressed me all the time when she was showing her fantastic fabrics to the customers.

This is my favorite fabric, but it was so difficult to choose one from her designs as each designs are so different and amazing! Please contact Jill  if you want to see more incredible designs.

 I really enjoyed their music!  Anybody knows the band name??

Thank you for shopping in my stall. See you next time.

The Town Square Market in Margaret River

I had a stall in the Vasse Market and  the Town Square Market in Margaret River this weekend.

Unfortunately, the weather in Vasse on Saturday wasn't so good , but  the town square market was great!
I think that there were over 40stalls in the market, and  mostly local people were there today. When I was sitting in my stall, I enjoyed to watch their fashion!  I saw a lot of creative and fashionable people. I love Margaret River♪

 Thank you for shopping in my stall. I love to go back again! See you next time.

The weather is so important for market! It was busy day.
