vizma, have a look at this sea map origami paper from Yamada Stationary in Tokyo!
Isn't it cool?
They made envelopes and bookmarks with this paper.
I got to know "Yamada Stationary" on facebook thanks to Claire. :)

Ohh, love your tapes Kim! Etsy is a very dangerous place indeed...! (& I love it!)

I’ve just ordered two washis on Etsy. (LightLife)
Yes, I’ve got the orange one but I need more and couldn’t find it anymore in Korea.

So I ordered it on Etsy. (There was only one left.)

My first step to Etsy! (quite dangerous because Etsy has so much cool stuff as you know.)

I made some collages in warm tones because it's winter on this side of the earth.
I'll send you some works in warm tones in JULY. :)
(I hate July and August in Korea. Too humid!!! but, much better than Tokyo.)

yipee yippee yippee!
It's really fun to see you girls' new washis here! :)

Don't worry, Claire, we will definitely visit you bringing a lot of washis and washi books when you are in debtors prison. ^_^

Comment by vizma bruns on February 6, 2014 at 3:42am

HA! That's hilarious, Claire! Yeah, we'll visit ya. We'll even send cake with washi rolls inside! I'll even look after your supplies while you're there, heh, heh....

Those clouds are too dreamy!!! I just love that whole encyclopaedic series, and the dinosaur skeletons. Stretch them out and show more pleeease!

I love that collage too, Kim, those warm tones. No blue, yay! ;-)

Very nice collage Kim! (I don't even like yellow, and I still like this - lol!)

It's been freezing & very snowy here. Last night we had an ice storm and lost power for 9 hours - ugh! (All I could think was "How will I work after the sun goes down?" :( But it came back in time...^_^)

Marvelous magic from Japan arrived today - yipee yippee yippee!

(When I'm in debtors prison, will you guys visit me? %_^)

Katerina> I'm glad you got my package.
The 2nd blue washis are on the way to you. :)

You have beautiful weather in Greece!
It's very cold here. -10C! brrrr~~~

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on February 4, 2014 at 11:09pm

For dear Vizma...you had 45C for two days? Hot hot hot hot!

We had/have 52F this week...that's about 16C. Ok that is nice "winter" temp for Greece,

at least it is NOT below zero C or F ! Sunshine walk with Edmund Hippo from Hamburg today:

Hi Claire, those are beautiful washi envelopes you have created!  Fab address stickers, too.

Glad the BLUE arrived, it is fun to do mail art with your little bits and pieces, nice collab fun!

Time flies, Claire...but so do birds :-)

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on February 4, 2014 at 10:50pm

We say origami here also. Actually, one of my fave lil' things in a recent package from Viz was a little or. envelope-thingy - it's gorgeous! And she sent me the cutest lil' feather tailed doggie she folded into being. (If I can remember where I put it one o' these days, I shall scan!

Great V-day PCs Katerina! I got your gorgeous blue one today - decorated w. small scraps I sent you - love it!  There's something magical in that, it's like creativly touching in a way... :)

Mother T. huh? lol! You are a fabulous madwoman Kim!   ... Back to work (and I'm really just tired and don't feel like doing anything for a change... Why does time fly so damned fast?!!!)

Kim- mother Theresa! Ah, ha ha!  I sent you an envelope of stuff today, and wrapped a bit of the Canal and Streets tape on the end, since I'd already closed it. Hope it makes the journey!

I love Greece too, did you say it was 52C Kat??? It was 45C here 2 days ago.
