It’s no secret here I like Paul Cox ; ) Last year, a Paul Cox book came out in Japan <PAUL COX DESIGN & ART>, but it wasn’t easily available outside of Japan. On my birthday last month, Mattie surprised me with it! He ordered it straight from Japan! He also surprised me with Paul Cox’s original work on my birthday two years ago ; )

This book includes his works, some techniques he uses, his ateliers. As his works and info are not widely available online, in a world where everyone shares too much, this book is ever more precious.

Besides this book, I got so many more presents : )

A pin from Alicia Mccarthy. You can find it on Muddguts.

A vintage storage trolley designed by Joe Colombo in the 70’s, called Boby. When I was making a drape to prepare for the exhibition at A-frame, I briefly mentioned how convenient it would be to have a portable trolley to hold all the sewing materials, so I can just roll it next to me wherever I go. Mattie remembered it <3

Blessed to be one year older and not much wiser hehe.

While I was working on the commissioned flag, I decided to make two more flags. I’ve made my first series more than a year ago and I’ve been itching to make some more. So after long days of washing, cutting, dying, pinning and sewing, here they are, Flag 08 and Flag 09. They are a part of A Flag for Every Home series. I hope to keep on expanding the series time to time, and I hope they will evolve as I continue. But for now I’m done with the flags and moving onto other projects!
