beautiful evening

I was supposed to post photos taken at the pottery show but the sunset today was very beautiful so I like to post the photos of the beautiful evening. Please enjoy them!

I happened to take this photo with a flying bird.

It flew just besides me after this.

I want to be like a bird,

flying freely to places where I like to go,

at any time when I like to go.

Sunset is a special moment
when I feel it is connected to another dimension.

All the nature is very beautiful with the reflection of sunset.

It is a magical moment .

Everything outside we see is the reflection of what's inside us

Keep Love and Harmony in your heart.

We'll see Love and Harmony outside.

At the other side of sunset, the moon can be seen.

This moment and this view are gifts from Heaven.

It'll be a full moon soon.

This full moon in September is very special to Japanese.

Hope Love and Harmony prevail all over the world.

I'll introduce my 2nd poster! The size is 80cm x 60cm. I usually paint 15cm x 15cm. I wanted to paint on a large paper and my dream came true very quickly! But I'm usually careless. My sister is very careful so she worried me a lot... I made a draft by pencil. I guess I became more careful after I made two posters.

This time, I liked to make lots of circles by using many colors!

I made patterns again and checked the colors.

I ground pastel by a special net.

Painted by hand. I was very happy to use my whole hands! I sometimes use my both hands to paint. Actually painting is a good exercise! Standing up, moving around and using my whole body!

Three circles were completed. Then... this is a pottery show. I have to advertise them!

Yes! bowl, vase and cup are appearing!

I added more circles. Very colorful and enjoyable!

These two are very different. I love both of them! Thank you very much for giving me this chance!

It is the first day for a pottery show tomorrow and I'll go to help! I'll take more photos there!

I was making posters

I spend lots of time making potteries and painting these days.

Since I don't have tours and have much time, I decided to learn pastel-painting, which I had dreamed of learning how to paint and got a license as an semi-instructor this May. This is what the pastel-painting is like → http://loveheart515.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-first-pastel-class.html After I had several painting workshops, I decided to be an instructor and studied a little more last month. Now I'm an instructor! Luckily, my workshop has good reputations and many like to take my lesson!

This pastel-painting is opening my new doors. I was asked to make posters for my pottery school because the school has a pottery show from Sep. 6th to 10th. I made several plates and a tea cup specially for this event. They are not sold but displayed. I'll introduce my art works after taking their photos.

Today, I like to show you my posters and the process how to make them!

First, I wrote the information by Magic Marker. Then prepared several patterns.

In Japan, the full moon in September is special. It takes time to explain why so please let me skip it. This September full moon is always associated with rabbits, Japanese pampas grass(=susuki) and damplings(=dango). By the way, this special full moon this year is on the 12th.
