We love Jeffrey



We love Jeffrey Fulvimari. His fresh and bright illustrations create a world all of us wish we could be a part of. Jeffrey has a very strong and devote fan base here in Japan. His brings out so many people to watch him at live painting or signing events.

We just received a new stock of Jeffery's fine leather goods at Junie Moon. I love the quality of these wallets. The printing preserves the original brush work and detail of his illustrations. This kind of quality is rare to find and we are over joyed to work with Fukushiro and Jeffrey for these amazing pieces of daily art. I have five wallets myself!

Take a moment to check out Jeffrey's wallets, bags and stationary goods! You deserve to bring positive art into your life!

Jeffrey will be coming to Japan in Fall of 2012, we can't wait to see him again!

Visiting MochiMochi Land

While in New York, I also got to meet up Anna Hrachovec from MochiMochi Land!

Anna makes amazing little creatures with her wonderful knitting style. We were so happy to visit with her. Little known fact, Anna is a former CWC-i employee. We are so proud of the wonderful work she has done! Her MochiMochi world is so whimsical and fun. The best part is, it encourages others to join in on the creativity.

Saki Yamashita "Usaron" Workshop at Salon de Junie Moon

Usaron workshop details.
It's a joy to share with you, the Saki Yamashita "Usaron" workshop.

For those who are not familiar with Saki's wonderful cute creation, Usaron is a sweet and funny bunny with the essence of vintage flair and the soul of all things kawaii! The Usaron name comes from the Japanese word for "rabbit", Usagi and "ron" for the apron she always wears.

Usaron is one of our favorite characters because she lives in a sweet land and bakes cupcakes and treats for her friends!

Saki held the "Usaron" workshop at Salon de Junie Moon in Osaka, and everyone had a blast!
A lovely bunch of Usaron, Dreamy Bunny and Blythe!

Usaron all lined up and ready to play!
Saki gave a workshop at the Salon de Junie Moon in Osaka and everyone, believe me, had a blast! Be sure to remember the name "Usaron" (pronounced: U-Sa-Ron).



We have something in the works for this sweet and sassy bunny soon! Stay tuned!
