WIP: May? It Must be Con Season!


Hello guys and gals. I've been a calligraphy machine churning out enough inventory to sell for Fanime, the local Japanese anime/video game/manga convention held during Memorial Day weekend in San Jose, CA. Thanks to Kimono Momo for lending me a small area of her dealer booth to show off my art against the backdrop of beautiful kimono.

At the moment I'm waiting for some smaller trading card sized pieces to dry. And while I'm doing that I'm punching out more cherry blossom shaped paper punches as well for a larger personal project. No rest for the wicked, indeed.

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
