Yesterday I posted the first part of my review of this amazing event. On the way in you walked through a series of workshop areas where you could sign up to try various things.
Painting a New Years Icon (I forget their proper name but you paint one eye in at the start of the year and the other eye at the end of the year.)
Corsage making.
Screen printed t-shirts using a choice of stencils and swirls of colour.
Wet felting where you first bought a ball of roving...
...and then sat down to felt it.
There were a few others too - embossing metal, children's fish painting and some jewellery ones.
Yesterday's post was all the photos with exhibitor details linked to them. Today we have the orphaned photos I can't find a card for:
No idea what these are. Earring holders?
Tiny rubber stamps - there were quite a few stands like this.
Oh yeah, of course there were eco sanitary towels. Two different companies in fact.
Mount Fuji toilet roll dispenser
Push Pins
The girliest dream catchers ever?
When I got back from the venue I realised the Japanese influence had made its way to my outfit. Or at least, I'd tucked my fan in my belt like you would with an Obi if you were wearing a Kimono or Yukata (of which more to come tomorrow).
My belt had attracted quite a lot of compliments at the show, possibly because buttons are so expensive here and people assumed I must be a millionaire. It is the one I made way back at the start of 2013, at the same time as this black one.
I can't seem to find a photo of the red one though so maybe I never captured it for the blog. On my dress you can see my two brooches. The 'pow' one I made myself in June 2012 but the 'Xavier' one is actually a picture of Bruiser, with that being his real name, poor thing.
I saw it at the cat cafe last week and couldn't resist! I do love that grumpy guy.
