State of Craft

I am so excited about Cicada's new book 'State of Craft' to be released in October. I received a PDF of the book tonight and there are so many cute craft projects in there I think you will love!
Here is a little sneak peek.

There are a few Hello Sandwich spreads in there too!
Thank you so much to Ziggy and Victoria for including Hello Sandwich. To order your copy when it's released in October pop on over to the Cicada website.

My first デジタル一眼レフ (Digital SLR)
I can't believe it's taken me this long to get my first Digital SLR but I'm so happy my new camera arrived today! I've been walking around my neighbourhood all day taking photos. It's such fun learning about cameras. My dad is a pro photographer so I can't wait for him to teach me how to use my new camera.

Udagawa-san's Magazine Projects
Hello Sandwiches,
Do you remember my Japanese Craft Idol Udagawa-san? And how I went to her house one afternoon for Crafternoon? Well...The lovely Udagawa-san has published our crafternoon in a new stationery magazine!
This is the little handmade folder I made at Udagawa-san's house.
And here it is alongside Udagawa-san's super cute version at our crafternoon in the magazine!
My funny odango is there too!
Udagawa-san collected all of the materials we used during our craft and saved our memories in her sketch book.
Udagawa-san has produced many projects for this magazine such as cute hand-stamping techniques, and a teeny tiny matchbox letter. If you have the chance to see this magazine in your newsagents be sure to pick it up!
I am shooting the craft book this week, so I might not be blogging so much these next few days. If you want a sneak peek of behind the scenes at our shoot, I'll post some pictures on my Hello Sandwich Instagram.
Love Love

Japanese Magazine

Hello Sandwiches,
I just had a Japanese magazine come to my apartment to do a profile photo shoot for an upcoming zakka / handmade mook they are publishing. The staff from the editorial team gave me this giant bag of cute fireworks as a little present along with a stack of books! The photographer was Italian - so interesting to have three languages spoken at the shoot!
ありがとうさいとさん!楽しかった!
Happy Weekend!
Love Sandwich
