Windows of the World by Andre Vincente Goncalves.
"I have always had a curiosity about windows.  Like the structure of houses, they change from region and "windows of the world" was born, a big evolution from the earliest windows that were only a hole in the wall"

"Yukata-Ji Tote"





 Jonathan had Yukata-Ji (Cotton Fabrics for Casual Kimono which Japanese wear in the Summer) Print Samples from Japan for long time.  When I decided to be a part of "White Elephant Sale" at the Japanese Buddhist Church this coming Saturday, he told me "Why don'y you make something beautiful with these !"  Even thought I was making something else fat that time, I couldn't refuse his offer.  
They had some small stains and original stickers with code-numbers for prints, but I kept all as they were.  After all these Print Samples are Vintage.  
Some of prints are just so beautiful, so that they needed to be kept simple.  But others are needed to have something.  I thought making them into Patch-Work will be interesting.
So, these are tote-bags I made with those "YUKATA-JI".
Hope you will come to the bazaar to see them, maybe you will want to have them for this Summer...

"we are living in very scary times..."



I must start thinking of what to do, 
if this man who behaves like 5 year old boy becomes president.
And it is hard to believe 
there are so many people in USA who are choosing him...
