I have almost finished my first watercolor work this year.
A tree and deer.

Coloured leaves and fairy

Autumn is here.  Even the fallen leaves on the ground are so beautiful.
Here is my old watercolor painting which I finished almost ten years ago.

and lemon and fairy.

I hope you enjoy the beautiful autumn days!

King of the forest

I haven't had time to post anything for a long time!
Summer is almost gone and I can feel the autumn breath here and there especially after dark.

Here is my new watercolor painting.  Title is 'King of the forest'.
I wanted to draw a deer standing quietly in front of the forest just like a king of the forest.

I have had no time to draw for a while as my father-in-law passed away and pretty hectic having funeral and ceremonies and so many things to do and finish. After everything has been done, I was just exhausted and it took a while to start it again.
Sorry I think my English is not good for I have no time to check it, but  I wanted to post anyway. I hope you do not mind.

Day lily and fairy in the garden, watercolor work

It is so hot here in Japan I try to stay in the house during the day because it is exhausting to be in the summer heat!

Let me introduce one of my watercolor works; yes, it is a midsummer plants.
'Stars shining in my midsummer garden ' is the title.
Day lilies are so cheerful and beautiful I think they look like stars on the ground everytime I see them.
And of course a fairy is there for me, looking up, smiling, enjoying summer light.

Seeking for the sunlight-watercolor. A gerbera.

Small things :)

It is so fun to sew small things such as shoes, tote bags, socks and so on.
I made some for the new dolls.
Here are tote bags. I used  bright cute prints for the inside of these bags.

 
Dolls carrying one of the bags. 

 I also made some shoes out of felt.

 

 

They fitted perfectly.

  

new dolls!

I am now thinking of making new dolls for children who want quiet friends at their sides-if there are any.
And I made two dolls last week.

This time I slightly improved the dolls which I made for my daughters years ago; made their limbs a bit longer and have joint parts like elbows and knees so that they are easily changed their clothes.
I painted their faces with acrylic paint for cloth products.
And sewing their clothes is another challenging part for me because I am not usually doing dressmaking, and especially smaller dresses for dolls are hard to sew; however, it is fun to choose the fabrics, ribbons, and laces and put the finally finished dresses on them!

I sewed their gathered smock blouses and tiny pants to go with them.

Another outfit-this time traditional doll dress.

I hope you like them and I would be happy if I have your comments.
Thank you for watching!
