I've just finished making two items. One is a kimekomi frame and
the other is a wall pocket.
These were designed by Atsuko Katou who is a Japanese handcraft artist.
I bought five series of kits through a mail-order system. One series
contains 12 kits, so I have 60 kits which feature the cute little bunny
named NOAH or No-kun in Japanese. The kits express seasonal
themes, and these two are for winter season. You can see the bunny and a
snowman in each picture.
Kimekomi is originally a wood-based handcraft but the basement of
this frame is urethane. The following picture is the base.
The basement is lined and cut to paste many pieces of cloth and the
picture is completed by pasting those small cut cloths one by one. The
margin of the cloth must be put in the line neatly. And for the last,
add some beads and other parts to finish.
In addition to the lovely bunny, I like the artist's sense of colours
which is warm and full of country taste. I'm now on the way of making
next frame. The theme is St. Valentine's Day. I'll put the photo here
when it is finished. Just wait and see.
