hello!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
hows your summer?</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
i have asked few times for owl design from my lovely customers before.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
so i designed it finally.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
what do you think? </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
whats your design process?</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
curious how other designers come up with design.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
i don't really sketch, the new ideas or designs usually come to my mind when im in bed. and i take those ideas to computer. i play around with shapes and color on illustrator and make it to final design. sometime it is completely different from my original design in my head. my process is pretty quick once i have ideas. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
i made the screens of owl design yesterday. i always get soo excited when i print new design. choosing color will be fun process too.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
i cant wait to start printing! <br />
<br />
i just printed owls. im liking it. :) </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
have a good day!</div>

<br />
hello,<br />
rainy season is ending and summer is here in japan.<br />
its hot and humid and pure hell.<br />
last few days i was making summer dresses for girls.<br />
i had a nice linen fabric for a while and wanted to make something with it.<br />
i couldnt figure out how to sew lining inside the dress, so i googled.<br />
found great <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBc73i9uXro&feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">tutorial</a>.<br />
<br />
it was well described and beginner like i am could do it. yay!<br />
<br />
2 dresses will be available on my etsy soon.<br />
i will measure and figure it out the size but i think they are for girl around 10 years old.<br />
<br />
i mentioned it on my facebook, but an article about my home is up <a href="http://www.hellomag.jp/lifestyle/2012/07/room-relay-vol11.html" target="_blank">online</a> ( japanese), take a look! :)<br />

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
hello!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
how are you doing?</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
hayama art festival finished last sunday.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
thank you all for coming to my open studio and workshop.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
total of more than 60 people had their first or second time ( some came last year too) screen printing experience and they went home with smile and cute cotton bags!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
in japan, there are not many screen printing classes available. even in tokyo.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
years ago, when i was in japan, i tried to search the printing class, but they are either for pro or so expensive.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
so when i went to chicago, i was happy to find out that there are classes available for everybody. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
screen printing is so simple and fun! i want many people to enjoy them!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
im thinking about doing workshop on regular bases. that would be fun.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
early this week, i was tired from the festival. i chilled and relaxed which im good at it. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
then on wednesday, i had urge to want to make something.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
so i made the duvet cover and pillow cases.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
i didnt print this time, i had many pattern prints in my bedroom( wall and curtains), so i wanted it to be more quiet design.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
i just sew straight ( not so straight ) line over and over and foreverrrrr using #20 threads which is for jeans , very thick threads. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
i had made the duvet cover using same fabrics i use for baby blanket, but none for my self. this 4 layered gauze fabric is so nice! its so light and soft, perfect for summer. i loved the texture. i used same fabric on back side too.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
its tedious work to just sew straight line again and again, my motivation was to imagine sleeping in them, and that kept me going. haha</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
i love how it turned out, and i slept in it last night and was heavenly!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
i want to make this one again and sell because i think many would love this duvet cover but i dont have energy to sew that much again at one time.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
i will make duvet cover using this fabrics with my print on it.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
hopefully soon! </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">

something for them, but i dont know what can i do for them besides donate money, blanket, etc.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">but being depress and feeling sucks dont help anything.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">so i work.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />i wanted to make an original wrapping paper to wrap my towels when i ship, so i finally made it.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">i found a very unique print shop called retro printshop, they specialized to print old school style using newspaper , card board, craft papers and etc...</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">i chose the paper that has texture on the front and smooth on the back.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">i love how it turned out.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />now i have cute wrapping papers to wrap my towels. :)</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">since i print a
