I'm finally putting up pictures of my most recent purchase of Japanese craft books. I have 3 or 4 more that I'll post in the next couple of days and then they will all be added to my Japanese Craft Book library at Flickr.
#28 isbn 4-529-04180-8
#28 excerpt
I've already shared some images from this book here. I love the embroidery in this picture; this book is one of my favorites, lots of good stuff.
#29 isbn 4-277-49040-9
#29 excerpt
This is a small book with pictures and instructions for simple quilted accessories.

#30 excerpt
It looks like the linen fabric in this picture is stamped with a tree stamp which was really exciting to think about. I was able to find an ink pad by VersaCraft (which used to be known as Fabrico) that can be used on fabric and then heat set. I've only been able to find the black ink and used it to make a few labels but more experimenting is in the future. Do a search for VersaCraft ink pads and you'll find lots of online resources.
the embroidery details in #28 is absolutely amazing!!

I love coming here! You're so chock full of goodness. I'm very curious about the Japanese craft books. I'm new to this and I'm not sure about blogging etiquette. I put a link to you on my site . . . let me know what you think, come for a visit.

I recieved the first book/magazine that you have posted as a souvenir from a friend returning from Japan. It's really lovely the whole way through, but I can't figure out how in the world to order another volume.
Thanks for posting all that you do. It's inspiring.

hello,
would you consider swapping any of your japanese craft books? I have been in all the shops I know here in Austria and everyone just stares at me in confusion when I mention them.
I´d love to hear from you,
Claudia
