"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

Photos are on the way to you Jack but I had to show the new store to the DKultians here too. I hope you do not mind. Sorry it is so large but the detail is difficult to see otherwise.

Excellent Martha! I hope you are feeling better. Today I am working on the interior details of the Walmarth store for the Cascadia diorama, Walmarth's first outlet in North America. I am thinking of featuring a Dkult "barrel" inside near the entrance for "Daily Specials." Pictures to follow of course when it is finished.

The pillboxes are on the way, Jack, They are selling well in the newly opened Walmarth Superstore in  Snailmail -on -Sea here in Retailia.

Photos of the new store will be with you soon

My mother made them and put in the kitchen and actually use them to put stuff.

I learned from her how to make them.

I am experimenting different ways for recycle art...

If I come up with something that profitable, I have been thinking to send to some green product organization whom I met at Green Festival in San Francisco. But if you are seriously hire me, I would consider it. ;P)

Martha! We have to snatch up Tomoe for the Walmarth product development team before The Pottery Barn offers her a fat expense account and her own car!!!

As DKULT request I posted a lot but any thought, requests, questions are welcome. 

Actually I made the medicine box for my own use. That is why I made it quick with hand writing. But I collect chocolate boxes, and other smaller candy boxes, bags. I am sure I will invent many more.... ;) 

I  have a project in mind to make eco bags out of potato chips, series plastic bags also...

Origami dress with plastic bottle wrap and ribbon. 

...I pasted plastic bottle cover Jasmine tea design and used ribbon on origami dress that I just folded.

I just sent this to my guy in San Francisco. He got it and he said on the phone that he thought that I bought at a store. (^_^) (that means looks like it is manufactured... good!) 

I saw on TV some German architect opened origami product stores while teaching Origami theory to university students incorporated to their architecture design. As I was seeing his store on TV, maybe origami can really be products?!
