look at this

Kindly awarded to me by Jill Frank of Diabolical Designs. Thank you Jill for the honor and the good company you put me in with!
There are lots of creative blogs that i admire. They are a source of inspiration and they make me laugh and think . Here's a list of them:

• Ito de- for the japonaiserie
• Une femme d' un certain age- there's style after fifty
• Riihivilla- natural dyeing in a systematic way
• Artnlight- inspiration, so much going on beyond our borders
• Sakura Snow- beautiful photos and drawings
• Food wishes- for pure pleasure or for when you're stuck and don't know what to cook
  

Check them out and enjoy!

1-2- cha cha cha

It seems that i have limited brain space and currently all of it is occupied by/with Nihongo and its intricacies.
i have been working on this series as on automatic writing. Just flowing out.
And it has taken Jude and MargB astute comments to put me on track and start making associations. DUHH!!
Curious to see what the effect of establishing all those associations will be.

For the time being here's the latest postcard. Lovely tyvek again. This time digi printed on an iridescent background. And pleated tulle, something i reclaimed from a postcard i made last year.
Check my Flickr for some explanatory notes on the card.
And if someone knows the name of those pom pom trimmings please leave a message.

Back to Nihongo.　ときょう　が　いちばん多きです

working to the music

"At last".

The work is flowing effortlessly and it's been very enjoyable. Tyvek is a source of wonder as i've discovered you don't really need to distress it to make it work. Mind you i like the distressed look, but somehow this does not go with my mother in law. And as all of you who read this blog sense it , yes, this series is about her.

There are other ideas to work on and for now they're on the back burner as i need time to study Nihongo.The good news is that i have a feeling we're only studying kanjies covered in the Noken test. No exoticalia such as to go up to Tokyo or volcanic rock. The bad news is that i miss my former classmates a lot. They were a very special lot and incredibly funny and we were on the same wave length.. And i miss Sensei too. He is such a good teacher. i think that next year i'm going back to his academic arms :-)
