Exhibition

I had was so busy to prepare miniature show. I didn't have enough time to write in English. I'm sorry.

Okay, Tokyo international miniature show was opened on last weekend, saturday and sunday. Unfortunately, saturday was rainy weather, so customers are not a lot, but sunday was fine weather, a lot of people came. :))

This is my booth.

I displayed my dollhouse. ta-dah~!

I will open other photos on flicker later. I still am busy now. XO

Let me report about miniature show a little. I spend very joyful days and I was glad. :))) I could meet and talk with my web customer. I was so happy!, and I talked other miniature creators. We exchanged various opinions and informations. I learned a lot of things about miniature works. I got precious things and wonderful fellows. An expert miniature creator said me "Your photos on the web are very beautiful and your works are very fine.". I was soooo glad with I feel I am on paradise! A lot of miniature creator active on the web (include me) participated in this show, so other miniature creators and customers were interested us. 

Of course, I did failure too. :P Well, an European old woman picked up other creator's works to buy and she brought me it with keep silent. I thought she can't speak Japanese, so I spoke her poor English "it's not my works, the creator not on here now, I bring her, please wait for few minute." She nod with keep silent. Few minute later, I brought the creator, she explained her about works in Japanese, European old woman answered small voice Japanese very well! OMG! Why didn't she answer me in Japanese?!  I asked her in Japanese "you speak Japanese?" She..... nod and keep silent.... I said her in Japanese "Sorry, my English jar, right?" She answered nothing. I was ignored. :,-( Later, I tore my hair with shameful. I decided I never speak English to foreign customer in the show. hahaha... 

Angie Scarr had workshop and shop in this show. I heard her booth was very popular. I couldn't visit her booth. I didn't have enough time to visit all booths. uhmm... I regret. 

For two days, those were be my good experience. :) 

Cutlery and Panini grill etc.

I made miniature knife and fork. I had have an idea I make those by aluminum plate or wood plate, but I foreboded that high failure rate on making. I don't have enough time to failure, I don't want to fail, besides my heart also would break by shock. :p So I did copy as always copy technique I do, by urethane resin. But this way never easy. I failed 2 times on 3 times. But this shock by failure is not heavy to me, and some cutleries failed don't go to trash. It possible to repair.

I already had made miniature panini grill just body parts. I assembled it. An angle of the upper part was very difficult. It's hard work. I wanted cry. ... No. I cried and shouted by irritated. The construction is questionable, but it never has 100% questionable, I guess. hehehe

Of course, I made a plug too. If this don't have on panini grill, occur Where is energy from? A plug is Japanese style.

And others. This mat use possible to message card. :) This made from sketchbook.

Sweets etc.

I wrapped miniature kouglof. It was hard work....

I made miniature roll of bread. They looks like caterpillar :P, or looks like swarms of The Ohmu that appear in Japanese famous animation movie "NAUSICAA of the valley of the wind." hehehe

Miniature cup cakes decorated with whipped cream and sugar icing cookie, crown and heart. It is popular sugar icing cookies in Japan now. I made miniature open star decorating tip again, because I lost old tip. I improve performance, it has beautiful  lines than tip I lost. But it need more practice to decoration. 

Miniature pan cake and Japanese pan cake "hot cake". (We call "hot cake" about pan cake. But recently, delicious American style pan cake shop has opened in some cities, Japan. So we can call distinguish between pan cake and hot cake.)
I put too maple syrup on each cakes. I like maple syrup in my real life :-9, for that reason I worked so.

Dollhouse -2-

I have a lot of photos today. :)

Oven finished. It looks like toy and cute. :)) I put some pans to test on the burner. I said "sizzzzle~" unwittingly. I backed to a little girl. :D What a fun just put on! The door of oven can not open and drawers (second to fifth) too. I'm so busy now and I don't have enough time to make open style.

Well... if dropped food on the floor, how about you? hehehe

I had dropped scrambled eggs on the floor once. I knocked strongly a handle of the frying pan with my careless, the frying pan turned a somersault and scrambled eggs dropped strongly on the floor. It was very hard to clean. :,-(

OK, next.

These are containers of girls design. They are talking behind closed doors. 

... I didn't see anything. Let's go next!

Orange juice in glass with glass holder. Glass holder made from paper.

I made miniature pipe under the sink.
Oh?

Lady rat is leader in this kitchen. haha!

Dollhouse

I'm making dollhouse for exhibition. I have a dollhouse that not finish yet. I had a plan  I finish it to use in exhibition, but it's a little smaller than 1:12 scale, besides I don't have motivation to finish it now. So I determined to make new dollhouse. I don't have enough time to make a room type. I make a corner of the kitchen. The design is as a dollhouse not finish. I like this design very much and also like floor of tiles. This floor made of plywood. It not seems plywood. :)

This is miniature milk bottle

and orange juice bottle, toast stand and ham and two eggs fried sunny-side up. By the way, I like egg fried easy-over. :-9

This is second post today. May I introduce about an American man to everyone? His name is Daniel Kahl, 51 years old, he has lived in Japan many years, he is very famous person in Japan, he is TV personality and translator. He speak so fluent Japanese with Yamagata (the northeastern) dialect. He is American, of course, he speak English but he hardly speak English in TV, so we are very surprised when he speak English. lol Because we have his image is Japanese northeastern person.

Japanese people know that it is reported wrong news about earthquake and nuclear power plant in the world. Almost Japanese feel crisis about it. And Daniel Kahl got know it, he determined to report actual situation and ask for don't get wrong news to the world people in English. If you have a few times, please see his message videos "Stop the Hysteria" on YouTube. This video has 7 including Japanese, he speak Japanese in a few video, but there is subtitle in English.



Thanks a lot from Japan.
