I bought an indoor plant for my classroom, but I didn`t have a good place to put it, so I made this plant stand from recycled wood. The height is about one metre. The wood for the legs came from an old thread [井と] spool [スプール] frame in my father-in-law`s factory. The spools rotated [まわす] between the white things.
I was going to put shelves in it, but actually I think I like it as it is [as it is = このまま].
Wisteria [ふじ] flowers are blooming now, so it`s a good time to show you this acrylic [アクリルえのぐ] painting I did a few years ago.
I should hang this picture in my classroom now, shouldn`t I? But I think wisteria flowers don`t last long, so soon I have to bring it home again... I can`t be bothered [めんどくさい].
While doing Shikoku henro, we spent one night in a small town called Kuma. There was a small art gallery there, which we had just enough time to visit. Unfortunately they were holding an exhibition of strange modern photography instead of their usual collection, so I could only see it on their postcards... This is one I bought.
If you visit Kuma, I recommend visiting the Kuma Museum of Art. The curator is very nice, and if you ask (as my father-in-law did while I wasn`t looking), she`ll even book you a room for the night in town! What a kind lady.
Happy New Year! 2011 was a tough year for many people, but I hope you found things to be happy about too.
Thanks everyone who read my blog, and especially those who left comments. Please keep reading it in 2012!
This is my design for my New Year`s postcards for 2012 - year of the dragon. It`s a lino-block print, using black watercolour paint.
Good luck in 2012!
Like most people, I`ve been pretty busy for the last couple of weeks, so I`m sorry for the lack [fusoku] of posts.
I managed to find time to make some more Christmas tree ornaments though.
They are just painted pieces of wood, with a bent nail [mageta kugi] in the top.
