I received this beautiful postcard from Mags (Digital Gran). The colours and texture are stunning. Thank you Mags it's nice to have a piece of your art in my collection.
My dear friend Tomoko from Japan sent me another package of treasures. This is a beautiful Furishiki of Mt Fuji. Traditionally a piece of fabric like this is used for wrapping gifts. I think I might use it as a wall hanging.
She also sent me some towels, the kind used at the hot springs. They feel so soft and are long and narrow. There's a beautiful little bag and a doll which I understand is very hard to get in Kobe where Tomoko lives. Thank you Tomoko, I hope you enjoy the goodies I sent you.
This is something I bought for myself. As you probably guessed from my recent "girl" postcards I love the work of Patti Medaris Culea. I have her other two books and this one completed my collection. I was privileged to take an online class with Patti a little while back and made my first doll. I am afraid I haven't mastered the faces yet which has prevented me from making another. I thought buying her stamps would help me. I will make more dolls when I have more time. In the meantime my classes start later this month and so I shall be busy getting things ready for that. We are busy decorating the master bedroom, new carpet arrives next week and family commitments mean less play time.
