I was on the phone chattin' and a bit bored. Here's another profile picture, only it's also based on an outdated photo. I've no longer got waves in my hair : (
And if you don't believe it's me, here, seeee?

notebooks

I made more. I got a new Japanese stapler specifically for miniature notebook making. I still think I need to streamline this process better..
All of them are generally mini, except for the solid coloured ones which are 5.5" books.. I've been encouraging friends to take them off my hands, I'm at 100 books now..

 

  

 

 

Wall of a hundred fortunes

And that's a wrap! In the corner ready for the New Year market that opens tomorrow until after Chinese New Year is the wall of a hundred fortunes. I also finally got to meet the calligraphy artist. Now go! Check it out in person! Happy new year!

The Noble Steed Gallops into a Bright Future

The deadline is fast approaching! Vendors are coming in on Friday and due to some setbacks, as my friend puts it, "our backs are not against the wall, it's through the wall!" I'm still a little optimistic, as today is Wednesday... our time is tight but I am sure we'll make it.

On another note, the calligraphy wall is complete, it's pretty cool, although it's too bad you won't be able to experience both walls in full, simultaneously due to all the vendor stalls.

Year of the Horse

I wanted to send my friends some love for Chinese New Year, a card, or an illustration, or both, but I couldn't come up with anything I was satisfied with. This is far as I got and then Chinese New Year got really busy.

Chinese New Year

I've been asked to work on a project for a Chinese New Year market/fair. 

If you're wondering what that is, or what it will sort of look like, imagine a weihnachtsmarkt, and then instead of the theme being Christmas, it's Chinese New Year, in reds and golds.  

[**spoiler alert**]

The space is going to be wall to wall red with booths lining the center. We're going to have calligraphy running the the length of the entire wall welcoming the year of the horse. 

I'm working on a mosaic wall tiled with the Chinese character for "good luck" . 

[**spoiler ends**]

The timing is tight, we have about 2 weeks to turn the entire space around, get things printed and built, so I will be checking on construction in a few days. I need to do some material research first.

Anyway, if you are around near January 25 to February 2, do come by and check out the market!
