Classes Coming Up

We have some interesting classes coming up in February. We have classes or something fun going on almost every day. I thought I would Spill the Beans on two of the classes:

Oriental Bento Box



The Bento box is a traditional japanese box but now people don't use them very often. In EDO era, these boxes were used as a container for raw fish or as a lunch box in general. At ceremonies or festivals, people put special dishes into these boxes as gift. So this box used to be one of the tools of the common people. Now these are made by only one factory in Tokyo. They are all handmade. We decided to make our Bento Box as a container for three handmade books. Each book is bound a little differently. Feel free to bring any of your asian stamps to personalise your books.


Enchanted Spring Fairy

Our first Mannequin was so popular that we were asked to do more. We decided to make them for every season, so here is the second fairy in the series: Enchanted Spring Fairy. Made in Pinks and Purples she has an irridescent glow about her.
