Travelogue ~ Japan 2014

As an art journaler , we are tends to keep all the evidence with us no matter the ephemera as small like a piece of receipt, food packaging even a fallen leaves. 

 For me, a trip to overseas is a luxurious things to do.

I grasped each of the moment in every trip that I have made. 

either in a page , Bangkok (2012), 

in a travelogue , Hong Kong (2013) , Korea (2011) and here , Silk Road (2009) .

    

 And of course not to forget the photo to take along each changing scene.

I use Muji notebook to record for the trip just because I like the beige colour cover and the pages. 

Incorporate the collage images from Artstronauts.

Japan trip ~ Shirakawa-go

I am too much happy and bless to fulfill my long awaited dream to this place ~ Shirakawa Gassho

I've joined Apple Vacation tour to Central Japan. 

And Shirakawa is one of the main highlight of the tour.  

The day of visit was beautiful

blue skye and bright

The best view suggested 

Shirakawa-go gasso is as a UNESCO World Heritage site and is situated at the foot of Mt. Haku-san in northwestern Gifu Prefecture.  It is a quiet mountain village with rice fields and a river running through it.

What a coincidence is that on the day of visit, i have opportunity to view the village people restored the traditional thatched roof of one of the house.

Get into 100 Mandalas challenge_1 to 8/100

I can't resist the calling from Kathryn Costa and Megan Warren for the challenge ~ to create 100 Mandalas. 

I used the little notebook that i bought from Penang. 

I love this exercise as it relax my tired brain :)

and accompanied me.   

Hazy day outside my window  

Love those magnets

Snippet of the days

Found these awesome glass bottles /  cans of Coca-cola drink in Isetan. 

We will moved to new office end of the month. 

So, will only see the Twin Towers from the office windows.  

Bag of love for this month ~ sweet pinkie ( Etude House's product) 

I love Green Tea ~ my daily drink other than plain water. 

I also bought a Japanese teapot from Daiso.  

Children learned how to sew in one of the event.
