I go for it.

I'd like to finish making miniature works to domestic exhibition. X( I have to do detailed packing to works and prepare document.

I finished make some miniature works. I open that!

I could make the miniature forks. :D


These are same. It's just different each logo color.


The display table with a drawer. I need many motivation to make this. I can't make a lot of such a display table with drawer.


I prepare the paper to put the miniature works. Well..., the recent my boom is listen Nordic pops music. I imaged like a Nordic design. I'd like to use blue paper and draw blown lines. But it's not suitable to colors used in my works. :(
I gave up. I use white and I made ivory version too.

Wonderful gift

The other day, my friend stay to study in Taiwan came back to Japan for a while. I met her and she gave me wonderful gift! This is a mug cup with cap of Starbucks Coffee in Taiwan. I wanted this cup! So, I'm very, very happy~! Yes! Yes! Yes!! I laughed when see this. Because it's very big than my imagination. I can drink many tea or coffee.:D I thank my friend!


The other one. What is this. This is correction tape of the design of wafer.


Wow! It's very funny! I didn't notice the letter "Correction tape", when I got this. So, I asked to my friend "What is this? Post-it? Eraser?" I had a quiz contest by myself. I'm silly... I love the stationery of the design of foods or sweets.


The overseas life have happy things, but also have a hard time. The living in the country that different language, food, thinking and culture is very hard. Fortunately, my friend is helped by kindly and cheerful Taiwanese. Thank you for Taiwanese! 多謝!

Go for it! My friend K!

How to make miniature knife

I open how to make miniature knife by self-taugh.

Prepare a board of aluminium 0.3mm in thickness. Make the shape of the blade of a knife your hope by file and nippers. In the case of this knife, cut the point of knife by nippers and file, file off a part of knife into the handle.


Next, to the handle. Prepare a bar of hinoki (Japanese cypress) 1mm in thickness and 3mm in width. Shave shape that a part of knife into the handle. Please shave it same size that the thickness of aluminium. It will be shaky, if shave deep a little. The length of knife is 8mm, but prepare 1cm to see balance the knife and the handle, later. 2mm is insurance to never cut short to handle. LOL
*Most Japanese use hinoki, when use craft works. I don't know what kind of wood use to craft works in other country.


After shave the hinoki "A", prepare another one "B" and bond to "A". Pinch it by clothespin etc. to dry.


After dry, shave the handle to your favorite thickness and shape by sandpaper. Put the blade in the handle to check of the design of knife. If it's OK, bond the knife to the handle.


Of course.... it can not cut in effect~!
