Relax by the sea in the Oregon coastal town of Yachats for a workshop brought to you by Bloom. We will celebrate the everyday by designing and creating visual art journals. Not sure what a visual art journal is? Visit me on flickr to see some of the pages I have been creating. This workshop will be so much fun – Join me!
This weekend I was invited to a friends lovely garden party and she let me contribute by whipping up mini carrot cakes. They were so good and gone so quickly. I will not put into print what the tall one said about his love for these little gems. I’ll just say that he is a man who can be swayed with just the smallest amount of delicious sugar. I used a simple recipe which I’ll share here: Mini Carrot Cupcakes Recipe. To make the carrot top greens I made green fondant and cut them on my Cricut Cake machine using the Freshly Picked Cartridge.
I am so super excited because my Japanese Washi Tape (mt) arrived! They are so so lovely I can not stand it! I can’t wait to get at it. Thank you so very much to my friend Yuri for gathering them up at her local stationery shops in Japan and shipping them to me. What a thrill to receive them in the mail. I am going to have so much fun playing with them. YEA!!
About mt, as it is called in Japan: Kamoi Kakoshi was founded nearly 90 years ago in Okayama, Japan. This is their world famous and completely original ‘mt’ brand rice paper masking tape. Transparent (but not too much) and in so many beautiful colors. To seal a note, decorate a gift, make a paper painting, in an album, anywhere for a bit of color. Tape is easy to reposition and tear by hand. Can also be written on for a quick note or label.
