I set a goal at the beginning of the year to sell it in the market and online in addition to the miniature clay and handcraft classes, but I have not much spare time💦 and will be April soon.
I'm working on something for sale little by little. I still have lots of things to do, to make more production for sales and have to prepare to sell at market or online… The progress is slow, but it is progressing little by little.
The new school, work year starts in April in Japan. Even if I’ve lived abroad for a long time, I still have the feeling that April will be a new start.
Dark and cold winter has gone and bright spring full of flowers came !
It's a good season to start something. I will do my best and move forward.
In "Coloratura ~ Miniature Clay & Handmade workshop", in addition to miniature clay, I also hold workshops on making accessories using Japanese-style cloth..etc.
The cherry blossoms are in full bloom now. Cherry blossom brooches and hair accessories that are perfect for this time of year ...
If we wear brooch or hair accessories on our clothes, bag or hair, we look gorgeous and bright!
We made flower accessories using Japanese-patterned cloth.
A Dutch lady participated today. Three people were scheduled to participate but due to circumstances, a lady who was planning to come with friend from far away couldn’t come suddenly, so it became a one-on-one lesson.
In Today’s workshop, she could make two works with a large flower and a small flower, and she chose hair pin and charm. The hair pin was for her daughter and the charm was for herself.
She likes Japan and also makes bags and accessories..etc using Japanese-patterned cloth. I’m glad Dutch people likes Japanese things and makes Japanese craft like this.
Since there was only one participant, we were able to talk about various things and I had a good time. I think I am really happy to be holding workshops whenever people came and could interact like this.

During the year-end and New Year holidays, I visited Japan, and came back to the Netherlands a few days ago.
I usually don't have much time, so I concentrated on making works while I was in quarantine at the hotel, (The work in the photo was made in the meantime.)
Then while I was quarantining at my father’s house, I was cleaning the house, sending New Year's message to my friends ...etc. and I was busy So time flew quickly.
It was good I was able to help to clean my fathers house and spend time with my father In this temporary return to Japan,
This year, in addition to miniature clay, I am planning to hold a workshop to make accessories etc. with Japanese pattern cloth as shown in the photo. (For the time being, it is difficult to hold workshops due to the spread of corona infection and Government regulations, so I’m watching for the timing to hold workshops .)
I want to sell my handmade goods at a local market and also sell them online this year.
Well, I'll do my best this year!
I hope that this year the Corona will be settled and our life will move in a better direction.
