Exhibitions and Workshops!

Gorgeous unique uniforms worn by Shibaura House staff at the Hello Sandwich + Shibaura House workshop!
















Today was such a lovely creative day! We had the Hello Sandwich x Shibaura House Handmade Notebook Workshop where participants handmade notebooks and used some Sandwich print outs to decorate their books.

And earlier, it was installation day at Nidi Gallery! So much fun! Lovely chatting in Japanese, Bisaji-san playing with a cute hand made balloon ball, beautiful natural light streaming in, my cute friend Gracie setting up an 'Australian' summer drawing installation complete with Coopers Green bottle...! So nice!

The day was dotted with iced lattes with my super cool friend Luke from art school in Sydney who arrived in Tokyo this morning. The sweetheart came everywhere with me today and helped me install and set up at the workshop...all after a sleepless overnight flight. Yasashiiiii!

Tokyo Etsy Craft Party!

Hello Sandwiches!

I just uploaded my first Hello Sandwich post for My VOGUE Japan blog! The first post the lovely team at VOGUE Japan posted on my behalf so it was a challenge to navigate through the Japanese backend of the site...But somehow I pressed a little yellow button with some unfamiliar kanji and the post seems to have gone live! I've posted in Japanese and English so I hope you can pop over to have a peek.

My post is about the Tokyo Etsy Craft Party which is on today in Shibuya. It sounds like a lot of fun and everyone is welcome. They will be hosting workshops showing how to make fabric badges and a cute little bow ring. It's all in honour of the Etsy Worldwide craft party.

I hope wherever you are you'll be able to make some craft today. You may even like to watch some episodes of Hello Sandwich Craft TV for inspiration (the new episode is here)! Or dig out your copy of the Hello Sandwich Gift Wrapping Zine and make a little confetti bow for someone you love :)

Back to the blogging topic...I'm also writing a Tokyo column for Poppytalk blog, and I also write a weekly Tokyo column for Michi Girl Website! Pop on over some time to say hello.

Happy Weekend Sandwiches!

Crafternoon

Ros carved a beautiful stripe stamp for us after we inspired by a similar stamp in a craft book.





Thank you Ros for these two pics (above).



This little tree came from the most beautiful tote bag my talented friend Gracie decorated at a Tupera Tupera workshop. Gracies was 1000 times cuter.



Yesterday Ros and I spent a lovely Golden Week crafternoon in Yoyogi Koen. It was so relaxing and inspiring combining our craft materials and setting up a mini craft studio at a park table. Ros brought some cute muji calico bags, felt stickers, markers, screen printing paints and a stamp carving set. And I brought some paper craft materials, stamping set, and a collection of craft books for inspiration. We chatted about life in Tokyo, craft and blogging while we decorated tote bags, envelopes and cards and for a couple of hours we relaxed and enjoyed the fact that being in a park is one of the safest places to be in the event of an earthquake.


Poor Ros cut her self on the stamp carving tool but is now recovering. We discovered yet another use for mt tape :)
