Discovered these intricate glasswork on Japanese artist index and web magazine, Panorama. The artist, Yoshiko Minagawa, uses the lampwork glass technique to create these fantasy sculptures and miniature insects. Primarily self-taught she mastered her techniques by attending workshops and training camps abroad and by repetitive practice.

Kolme in Finnish means “3â€. This Japanese jewelry atelier/brand was founded by three designers who met at a metal engraving school. After graduating and having gone their separate ways they met again to form Kolme jewelry. My fondness for type, of course, drew me to those alphabet earrings.

We’ve made a few banners (buntings) for some family gatherings but I’m thinking this might be my next DIY project. Found this design on the Japanese handmade site, Creema, and sold under the shop name, Ringolin. Pleased that the banner has both form and function with those great “hanging pockets†that can be filled with goodies.
