Posted on Friday 15 July 2011

Thank you for coming by my booth and purchasing my jewelry!!
I always love to talk to people and see them smile looking at my jewelry!!
I made mobile earrings this time and they drew a great deal of response.
I love floating things, so I love mobile. My mobile earrings remind many people of Alexander Calder!
I love his works and always wanted to make mobiles as earrings.

Once again, thanks for your continued support.

Artists Help Japan – Earthquake & Tsunami Emergency Fund

Posted on Saturday 12 March 2011

Hello everyone

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in the catastrophic disaster in Japan.
The earthquake was the most powerful in the history and the outcome is devastating without showing any sign of calming down.

It took me and my husband to get in touch with our families in Japan. Some of our relatives are still out of reach in the hard hit areas.

Aside from it’s my home country, I would simply want to ask for your help.

My husband founded “Artists Help Japan – Earthquake & Tsunami Fund”

You (does not have to be an artists) can make a difference!!

*Please read the below by him.

——–

As you may know, artists have done numerous charity projects such as Totoro Forest Project, Art Block for Ghana, Picture Book Project, and Sketchtravel.
Artists once again can get together to bring our inspiration together to respond to the immediate needs from far east.

Working with Give2Asia who we worked with for Totoro Forest Project to help preserve Sayama Forest back in 2008, we set up a simple fund called Artists Help Japan.

Artists Help Japan Earthquake & Tsunami Fund is responding to the immediate needs of survivors as well as short-term to long-term recovery projects undertaken by the affected communities.
Give2Asia has a local team based in Tokyo to assess the current situation and to obtain more information on the needs of survivors. Give2Asia helped Totoro Forest Project efficiently send fund to Japan and has a great reputation when it comes to humanitarian efforts in Asia as a part of Asian Foundation.

Having worked with them, I can trust the fund will be used wisely and efficiently to help people in Japan.
This may be just a small help we can only provide from far away but I hope our prayers will reach people in Japan.


>>>>DONATE NOW!

You might have already helped through other venues? Then please help spread the words on your blog and facebook!

***Give2Asia is a US 501 (c) (3) public charity, to which contributions are tax deductible (Federal Employer Identification #94-3373670).

hou homespun exhibition @ 恵文社一乗寺店

Posted on Tuesday 9 November 2010

サンフランシスコも遅い夏が終わり、すっかり空気もひんやりしています。これからの時期は重ね着のおしゃれと暖かい食べ物が楽しみです。

とっても素敵なショールの展示会が恵文社一乗寺店さんで始まっています。わたしはブローチを作り、ちょこっと参加させてもらっています。

このショール、刈ったばかりの羊の毛を洗うところから始まり、染めて、紡いで、織る、そして縮絨。まですべて作家のクロさんが行っています。なんとも気の遠くなる作業ですが、ぜったいに暖かさもひとしおです。包まれたい。。。

あっ、ちなみに写真のショールはクロさんのではありません、、、んー残念。
