GUESS WHAT? I updated my “samurai’s dream” design, i now call it “inner demons” because i added that cute demon in the front and, also, the creatures are a metaphor. everyone of us has his-hers dark side. so does my samurai here:) enjoy!
Tis only a few weeks until I move to Melbourne, so I thought I’d get my big, sheet-metalled guy to do some reconnaissance before I landed. Unfortunately, in true gigantic robot fashion, he decided to destroy the picturesque cityscape of the footy city. Apparently it will be rebuilt and ready for when I alight. In 3 background colours … RED, GREEN and BLUE!

/ Canvas Print / / Framed Print / Rainbow – Angel of Hope / To remind us there is always hope :) / Rainbow – Angel of Hope is created on brown paper / I use a range of media including pastels, acrylics, charcoal, markers / Rainbow was inspired by my love of Kokeshi Dolls (Japanese wooden dolls) and because rainbows have been on my mind a lot lately, I’ve been incorporating them into lots of my work I hope you like her :)
I have warned Mr Akamatsu not to use his 1 wood in the backyard on several occasions which is why one can easily understand my frustrations when I caught this with my camera. I refuse to return anymore golf ball that I find in my living room…. Straight from the camera. Nothing is attached to the ball and this image is just one shot. The key to this is the 50mm lens. I simply tossed the ball myself up in front of the camera. Camera: Canon EOS 40D / Exposure: 0.003 sec (1/400) / Aperture: f/13 / Focal Length: 50 mm / ISO Speed: 800 / Exposure Bias: 0 EV / Flash: Flash did not fire

Rushed to catch the train when I saw what the weather was like. Normally, the front is empty where I get on, but when I boarded, Sod’s Law decreed that there were 2 people standing in front of the window – A big guy with a newspaper and a little old lady with a walking stick. I was just trying to make up my mind which I was going to strike down when the old lady got lucky and was offered a seat : )
views: 863 / favs: 23 My origami calendar / / I feel my heart being pulled when we are not together, / Longing for the day we are with each other. / The thread between us will never break; / Our destinies are tied by the red string of fate. / / The red string of fate is based on a Chinese myth that the gods tie an invisible red string around the ankles of men and women destined to be soulmates. This myth is has been adapted into other east asian cultures as well. I first became familiar with it by watching anime; though in those cases, one would attempt to match up couples by tying their fingers. This image, while on one hand based on that Chinese legend, is one that defines me. With the red thread forming the heart, I frame what is currently my greatest passion: miniature origami. I fold using tweezers, and sometimes with needles (I show a needle here, though for these hearts I only used tweezers as they are not that small). The hearts of paper and string, while representing my passion, also represent my soul, and how my fate is bound by the constraints of life. I’m in my own little world bound by a thread of fate; though my passion lies in a world of paper. While most women primarily use needles for sowing; I primarily use them for tiny origami :P I would adjust the position of the objects here with tweezers, and sometimes got magnetic reactions between the tweezers and the needle. They say opposites attrack… but they are both metal :] Each heart was folded from a 15×15mm piece of paper. Taken with an Olympus FE-340. Great for Valentines day or as love letters, because you and your loved ones were destined by fate.
