more kurumie

As I said before.. I got addicted!!! My cousin went to japan and brought plents of shikishi... so I have suply for a long time... :)
This is my latest works... the first one is my own design... the others I took from a book.

This thing is quite addictive!! This is my last work... the first one is small and the second one is medium size.
The second one is my own design, a Maiko (geisha apprentice) in front of Toji temple in Kyoto ( a place that will be always in my heart!)

One more...

This last weekend I made another paper doll...

This one gave me a bit of work cause it has more details, but I loved the final result.
I just wanted to post the photo of this new work.

It's been a while...

It's been a while since I last posted, during this time I went to Japan... it was so nice to be back there!! I bought some craft books so I ll have many things to try!
Today I started a craft which is called "くるみ絵". I'm not sure Im doing it right, but I liked the result...

Basically what I did was copy the picture and after that cut the pieces and paste... quite easy, huh? (the paper in the back is a shikishi and for the kimono origami paper).
I wish I had drawing abilities so I could do my own pattern, but for now I ll be using the ones I found in the book (やさしいくるみ絵 by 沖原とし子　植田 みよ子）.
The book has many patterns.. so I ll have a lot to play with ;p
