pop-up shop

                                                 My friend Asako has been in Tokyo and
                            she brought bunch of great stuff from US especially Brooklyn, NY.

                           Today is the last day, though, her pop-up shop info is as follows ;

after the typhoon is gone

we could enjoy beautiful sunset.

Night at the museum

Finally I could go to the exhibition

"American Pop Art - From the John and Kimiko Powers Collection".

I wish the space were a bit bigger 

so that we could see big art works from a distance.

but, hey, the collection is stunning !

I appreciate we can see such a great show here in Tokyo.

They are open till 20:00 on Fridays.

and then, we went to the museum shop.

They have a great selection.

I highly recommend you visit here, and

I myself must come back to find some gifts!

For today, I got this hanky embroidered with NY icons.

Pretty in pink

just so sweet.

Her graying hair has been dyed pink slightly.

Also she wears pink-rimmed glasses and

puts on pink lipstick.

     .... and wears pink sneakers.

preparing for the class

making paper beads is kind of meditation..

made samples in many shapes, colors and different papers

for the kid's art class in Oct

今日も残暑が厳しい日曜日。

ほぼひと月後にある、かぞくのアトリエでのアートスクール用に

もう少し、ペーパービーズのサンプルをつくりためておく事にした。

紙の厚みや、印刷によって、またつくりたいシェイプによって

工程自体はシンプルだけれど、手が慣れるまでは

実は大人でも、根気のいる地味な作業。

ものをつくる楽しさと、単純作業を根気よく続けること。

ちょっとでも楽しく学べるクラスにできたらいいな、と思っています。

Miyazaki's movie

No way, it's STILL hot. 

OK, let me go to a theater!

I saw Miyazaki's documentary on TV few days ago

and wanted to see his latest movie "The Wind Rises"(Kaze Tachinu).

I'm not a big fan of Ghibli, so I haven't seen all of his movies.

( I LOVE 'Spirited Away', by the way)

but after I watched the one,  this was my one of the best of Miyazaki.
