The official blog for the Ink and Paper House of tennyoceres. Mizu Mikado is a (very silly) Japanese wordplay on part of my Etsy shop name. Ink, or sumi (すみ) becomes mizu (みず). Paper, or kami (かみ) becomes the basis of mikado (みかど). The literal translation is even sillier. It goes from ink and paper (炭と紙) to water emperor (水帝).

Work in Progress: Fun with Paper Punches
I've been searching everywhere for the perfect cherry blossom shaped paper punch. What I saw at the store and online were just vague flower shaped punches. I know, I'm being far too picky. But I don't want to just be satisfied if I'm going to get arts and crafts supplies. I need a durable product with a lot of mileage. Good thing places like Crafty Japan sell the exact paper punch I was looking for for less than $5. Sooooo happy when this came in the mail.
All right the perfect paper punch, I gotta test drive this thing. Good thing I have this big pile of pink origami scrap from a previous project. Yep it worked like a charm. Gonna put this all together and...well, I'll have to save that for next time. It's drying. Enjoy the teaser picture! =D
