Art and Craft Fair

It was a fun day out for the Art and Craft fair at Hillcrest Centre in Newhaven. I met lovely people and the town was very pretty. I had a lovely tea and cake time too:) I love doing little Art and Craft fairs like this!

アート＆クラフトフェアー

今週土曜日NewhavenのHillcrest Centreにてアート＆クラフトフェアーに出展します。お近くの方は是非お越し下さい。（午後３時までです）

今までは主に画廊の方を通して作品を展示、販売することが多かったのだけれど、なんだか最近「自分で伝える」ということが楽しいです。もっと人と触れ合うのもいいな・・・と、自分でブースを持てるタイプのフェアーに出展することにしました。社交的な一面もアピール・・・なんて（笑）。教員を本格的に始めてから、人と話すこと、人前ではなすことに少し慣れたのかな・・・？（どうだろ・・・）

楽しい一日になるといいな。新しくグッツを制作していますので覗きにきてくださいね。

My Mac is slightly broken and it is at the fixing place at the moment. So I won't be able to do some of the work which involves some of the computer stuff. I can still check e-mails on my i-phone but it takes longer to type replies on that. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

New painting - work in progress

This is work in progress image of my new painting. I have only worked in about 3 or 4 hours all together but I already love this image and enjoy making. I have been using oil paint which I love the smell of it a lot. It usually takes a few months for me to complete this type of painting... so this is only beginning!

Still working on this...

Many people have asked me to explain how I put my embroidery work together on canvas so I have decided to show the process of making this little piece. As some of you may know, I also use oil and acrylic paint with embroidery for my work. I rarely draw idea sketch for any of my work as I enjoy idea-sketch in my head and transfer that into the actual image on canvas.

making, making....

Working in progress with embroidery.
I will write about what I am making.

My First Embroidered Painting.

This is my first embroidered painting that I have made in 2003. There were several reasons behind why I have started putting embroidery into my paintings which I have talked about it for the magazine interview the other day. Let's see how that is introduced in there.... in a few months!

Interview for the magazine

I went to London today for the magazine interview. It was fun and I enjoyed talking about my artwork. It will be published in Japanese but I'm sure I can translate the article in English and introduce it here. I look forward to see the article:)

Illustration

Although I have been super busy, I feel that I should make Artworks that make me happy.
I haven't drawn illustration work for so long and I feel that I should do this more, just even quick ones.
This one-eye girl idea is coming from Japanese Yokai called 'Hitotsu me Kozou' (one-eye little boy), I feel that these girls are somehow related to Hitotsu me Kozou, perhaps they are living in the 'Hitotsu-me village' ....:) I can't stop thinking about stories about these girls. I shall name them too ...!
