It will be my first handmade fair in Japan!!  Please wish me luck!!  I am excited to check out the scene!  I am preparing myself for some inspiration overload by Japanese makers!!

Disclaimer:  When it is a rainy day or when my sister Ayumi's baby decides to join us that very day, I will not be participating in the show.  I will be updating the info on my facebook page on the day regarding this.  Thank you for your understanding in advance. 

February Workshops // Felting at Home Ec.

One of my long long list of new year's resolution is to teach more workshops to share what I know.  In return, I treat myself by taking other workshop taught by others.  This way, we get to connect and learn from each other while developing a new perspective into materiality.  There is something so special about learning hands on and the interaction that it creates. 

I am excited to announce that I will be teaching a couple of felting workshops at Home Ec. Workshop in February!!!  Take a look at their exciting line-up of workshop offered here, and sign up by calling  (319) 337 – 4775.  

Another thing I will be doing is to have a slideshow survey of diverse use of felt in contemporary art, craft and design.  This will be free and open to public. 

See below for dates, and click here on Home Ec. Workshop's page for more details!

Happy felting!

Published // Little Village Magazine Artists Issue

Greetings from Japan.
Exciting news!!!

My first editorial illustration work has been just published in Iowa's Little Village Magazine's January Artists Issue along with 4 other local talented artists, Jarrett Mitchell, Zoe Brown, Candida Pagan + Donnie Bandy.   We were given a free + open prompt to create our own prediction/interpretation of what is to come in the year 2015. 

 I just got to see the digital version of the magazine (click here) now and I am so so so in love.
 I feel honored and inspired to be able to participate in this issue.

Snatch one if you are in Iowa City now before Brien(my hubby) takes the whole pile!  (I asked him, as I can't physically see the printed edition until I get back from Japan!).

If you are not fortunate enough to snatch one yourself, here is a link to the digital issue!

Little Village is a "free alternative magazine covering Iowa City culture from refreshing perspectives, reflecting a town that is complex, often contradictory, and always extraordinary".

I am happy that this magazine exists.

Cheers!
Happy Sheep Year!!
