Colored Leaves on the ground

Beautifully colored leaves on the ground. watercolor.
I drew this fairy in the colored leaves years ago(also sold); these leaves are from my country, which is Japan.

Thank you for watching!

Fairy dancing under the tree

Today I am showing Fairy dancing under the tree in a autumn day. This is the one I painted while I was still in the UK.  Watercolor.
I  enjoyed painting sparkling beauty of the autumn tree playing with the light which is getting weaker day by day.

Hope you like it!

Autumn butterfly

This one I drew years ago, but it is still one of my favorite (already sold).
I hope you like it, too!

It is getting colder here in Japan.
Take care, and thank you for watching!

Gate-the memory of Glastonbury Abbey

Gate- the memory of Glastonbury Abbey
Watercolor.

We visited Glastonbury Abbey several times during our 1-year stay in the UK.
The ruin just stood still -and it was very impressive. The opening which used to be an entrance of the building remains as the opening- just to nothing.

In progress

and finished!

Colored leaves and fairies.
I drew this watercolor years ago for the gift to my friend.

my new bag

As I wrote in the last article, I sewed a bag using Polish linen last week.
This linen is not only beautiful but also feels like so nice and cozy that I was kind of afraid to make any mistake!
It took about one and a half days to finish it, because I decided to use magnetic hook for closure and went to buy them to the craft shop.
Now it is one of my favorite. :)

Here are some photos:

This is called 'Balloon Bag' because it looks like a bit of balloon due to a lot of side gathers near the handles and tacks at the bottom. (I hope my English makes sense  as I am not a native English speaker)
I needed no lining because this Polish linen is so sturdy.  That makes this roomy bag finished so fast and feather light.

 

As you can see, I sew two  pockets inside the bag to make it handy and easy access for small items like cell phone and keys;  The ribbon you can see is to help this bag shape like a balloon and for a nice screen from others eyes when you open it. (It has big opening)

I even used magnet hook(this was not in the pattern) for convenience and nice stow-away for the ribbon, as I thought it is a bit bother to tie the ribbon every time I need. It  is also troublesome when you do not tie them.

See?

For adding a bit of cute touch, I stamped little teddy bear using cloth ink.:)

I really like the combination of the natural linen and subtle orange.

Ready to go out!
