Japanese architect Imai Kenji created Phoenix Mosaic in the center of Osaka, Honmachi area.

Up until now, I would say that Thai Silk clothes are still worn in limited group of Thais. Probably because the good quality Thai silk one tends to be a lot more expensive than fast fashion clothing, but if you once ever wear real Thai silk, you will understand it worths the price. 現在のタイにタイシルクが着ている人は少ない。普通の衣服と比べると、高質のタイシルクはすごく高いのです。しかし、一回着てみると、それが高い値段に見合うことがわかるでしょう。 We got this beautiful tie dyed silk piece from one silk maker whom we have known long ago. Each piece is very l

As I wrote in the title, it has all started from my love of having fancy things on my head.... ok, this sounds a bit strange but it was something like that. Probably when I was younger, my hair was always in mess, so I had to cover it up with something, or I just thought I look prettier with it...haha I tend to love beret than other items just because here in Bangkok is a super warm, and humid city, it is difficult to me to put on hat all day, but beret can be easily fold int

This time Japanese Daruma doll takes the lead role of our design. Taken from the Japanese craft and illustration books, we used applique technique recreating the drawing. Different materials were gathered, also Thai batik fabric, put together to make our unique Daruma doll ornaments. Although we used both Thai traditional fabric combined with Japanese traditional design, we think the outcome is very unique and interesting. How do you think? 今回だるま人形は私たちのデザインの主人公になりました。日本の技術と絵本

The world is small....ok, I'm not so sure who was the first to say that but that is what they say. Even this world is so small, but there are some people who loves to create an even smaller world, one of them is TERRARIUM CRAFTS ; blogger who is a plant artist and also craft worker. Started from 3 years ago when first seeing an image of an old man with a huge terrarium he planted years and years ago, after that she decided to make her own utopia by starting to make terrarium

One day when I was sitting and sewing this beret at a cafe, there was a lady, I would guess she might be old enough to be my mother, came and said to me " This beret is lovely, you do it as your hobby or you sell it too?" , " I do sell it too" I replied. " I think my mom would look good on this beret, you see, my mom she always has to be on bed, not that she would go out anyway, but I believe when all relatives come and visit her, she would look so delighted if she has this b

Every year, it has turned to be our tradition to make a card as a new year present for mom and dad. Up until now we have done several things, so we admit that sometimes we ran out of idea....lol and where would people now go take a look to get ideas!!! yes, we got to Pinterest as well. My sister sent me this photo and said it was cute. We decided to use this reference and adapt it in our own style. As usual I did it by sewing. These pieces of works are only the gifts for our

We are still in the atmosphere of Christmas....at least for me ....is it only me? Anyway, sharing these photos is about the good time. This dress is made from Thai Silk. The using of Japanese Shibori  technique makes the silk looks extraordinary. To us, Thai Silk doesn't have to always be so formal, but the glamorous look is one thing you can't take away from it. #THAI #ThaiSilk #Bangkok #Thailand #Dress #Handmade #Shibori #tiedye #絞り #バンコク #ハンドメイド #タイ #シルク #タイシルク

A friend of mine asked me to create special presents for her friends which suit their personalities. Ok, what is being more unique than each person's face. #クリスマス #ハンドメイド #バンコク #タイ #Handmade #Christmas #presents #embroidery #Bangkok #Thailand

Christmas is just behind the corner and I believe many parties will be happened during a day or two, same as mine. Since a lot of people might be away during the season, the pop up party can't be avoided, and it is urgent! I went through Pinterest, and decided that despite the fact that Thailand has only Summer all year, this year I will dress up as Snowflake. What I need for this costume are very simple, but the most important one is one meter of woolen fabric..... ok and gl

Yesterday was my birthday. As tradition, we usually present our parents flower garlands to pay our respect. Nowadays, flower garlands are sold everywhere. But this time I decided to do my own, as the title written, my name "Sitee" has the meaning of flower garland, so I think it would be nice to experience some traditional thing in my style. #flowers #garland #tradition #Thai #culture #birthday #craft #handmade

Winter is near, why don't we brush up our winter clothes in closet and get them decorated a bit, so we don't feel like wearing same old thing. Mission started from this black knitted coat.🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼 I love it. เข้าหน้าแล้วววววววววว....แม้ว่าที่ไทยจะไม่หนาวก็ตาม ฮ่าๆๆ แต่ถ้าใครจะไปเที่ยวที่ไหนที่ต้องใช้เสื้อกันหนาว ลองเปิดตู้หยฺบเสื้อกันหนาวตัวเก่ามาทำให้ดูใหม่กันดีกว่า จะได้ไม่ต้องซื้อใหม่แต่เหมือนได้ใส่ของใหม่ ลองนำไอเดียไปใช้กันได้นะคะ🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼 #remake #handm

Today item is easy jacket made from Indigo Japanese cotton. The shades of indigo make my Friday so calm and creative.

Using Thai fabric on works has always been challenging for us. lately, Thai silk and Thai cotton are being used by many Thai designers who want to show their ideas, so the question is how to be different? Being your true self is one big answer, but how to translate that into designs? タイの布を使うことはいつも私にとって挑戦になります。最近は、多くのタイのデザイナーたちにタイシルクとタイの木綿を使います。その中で何か私がオリジナルなものを作るのは難しいでしょうか。ここでは自分らしさを失わないことが大事だと思いますが、その自分らしさをデザインにどのように活かしたらいいでしょうか。 This lemon yellow hand-weaved cotton from the

Currently at Abenoharukusu art museum, Osaka, there is an exhibition of Hokusai, a japanese artist whose famous works are "36 views of the Mount Fuji" and the most notable is "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" which he created at 70 years old. 今あべのハルカス美術館で『富嶽三十六景』をはじめとして、様々な作品で世界的にしられている北斎の展覧会が開催中です。 Зараз у мастацкім музее Абенохарукусу ладзіцца выстава мастака Хокусая, сусветна вядомага сваёй серыяй "36 відаў гары Фудзі". This exhibition is a part of project between Japan and Br

Last month I got one assignment from a customer (and a good friend) to design a decoration from demin jacket for one Thai actress who also happen to be my friend named Rodmay ( ok, we are all friends in this world haha). 先月は友達に私のもう一人の友達、タイ女優のロドメイさんのためにデニムジャケットを飾ることが注文されました。飾りのデザインは自由でした。知っている限り、私の友達のロドメイさん冷たい色が好きで、彼女は可愛らしくから、私は花のレースを使い決めましたが、ホワイトとグレイのモノトーン色を選びました。ジャケットの背中側にはステッチ技法で彼女の名前の最初の文字である「R」を刺繍しました。 The theme was no theme, so it is all up to me. I know Rodmay likes coo

In Buddhists' ordination ceremony, there is one part of the ceremony that the person who soon becomes monk will have to do coins scattering. お坊さんになる儀式の中に、小銭を投げるという部分があります。 Coins scattering in ordination ceremony has a meaning that the person who do it will leave all wealth behind since it is no longer needed in monk status. Nowadays the family will do ribbon decoration cover the coins to make them as souvenirs for those who come to the ceremony. As the time pass by, things ge

I just finished my new work. I felt like doing something feel light and sweet, so I came up with this. Like flowers that fall and float from tree by the cool breeze in Spring....wait, I know it is Autumn now, but in Thailand is all year Summer, so I have a right to imagine. lol Since I use see-through fabric, I use organzas silk for decorating as well, to make more layers. Using little flower laces gives much more delicate look than big one. Finished! Let's celebrate with hot

Any fabric that has similar pattern to this lace which has constant holes, we can create a whole new style of fabric by adding on fabric lines, sewing like cross-stitch. It is freestyle, you can go up and down anyhow you like. Today, I made this. #THEHANDMADEDIARY #HANDMADE #LACES #IDEAS #ASIANHANDMADE #CRAFTBLOGGER #CRAFTWORK #ARTANDCRAFT #ハンドメイド #クラフト #アイデア

" It is said that Tsugaru kites, a folkcraft of Aomori Prefecture, were first made in the 17th century by poor low-ranking members of the samurai class. Japanese kites generally have a bamboo frame, but as bamboo is difficult to grow in the Tsugaru district because of the severe cold, lightweight and supple cypress cut into thin strips is used instead. Tsugaru kites feature strong, thick lines in Japanese ink and a picture of a warrior painted in brilliant colors, predominant
