Their inspiration come from daily life.And also when they have a travel,they feel a lot through scenery and experience.
They said taking interests in everything is the most important to create works.
Now I know I’m sure they are all charming persons.
Celine and Caroline talked in French, so interpreter helped us to communicate. It’s an honor to meet them and talk together. We all enjoyed very much.
I was charmed by their personality and also I was fascinated with French. They talked in so beautiful French.
Workshop thrilled everyone !
There are 4 kinds of samples. I selected Simon.
Materials were prepared, and I started to make my own Simon. I used a pair of scissors and paste.
Patterns were prepared, and I was happy to use them.
We could choose we like from a lot of pretty papers.
Wow~, so many pretty flowers for decoration ! I can’t decide which one I should use !
Now I finished to make my Simon. How is it ?
Celine and Caroline signed their names on my work for me. It would be one of my treasure.
Thank you very much for giving us a chance to meet Celine and Caroline and Sophie in Japan. I am looking forward to getting new mini labo works and see them again !
