Cuteness

What always strikes me: japanese books, crafts, objects...are often very cute and attractive.

These little frogs are in an amigurumi book I bought on ebay, I did not yet try to make them, I have to study the patterns a bit, before I can start.


And these illustrations are in a very cute book I found in France last year, a day in the life of a bear (his name is Kuma Kuma), illustrations by Kazue Takahashi. The story is a bit sad and melancholic, the bear is living alone in a little house. At the end of the book you wonder if the bear has a happy or a lonely life.



These illustrations are in a book my father brought from a trip to Japan, way back in the sixties. I love the layout of these pages!

And finally, I made another mosaic, with cute and lovely things.
