Dear Jasmin, when I saw the newscast yesterday tears welled up in my eyes. Earthquake, tsunami and nuclear catastrophe... it is far from over... An old woman cried because of a hot soup, another because of taking a bath "taking a bath let me forget that I don't have a home"... Your drawings are really wonderful. So honest, heartful and strong. Nothing too much, nothing too little. I love that detail of weeping blossoms most. Thank you, you wonderful Jasmin flower. xo Ariane.
Thanks to all of you sugar plum fairies. I couldn't think of blossoms without thoughts of Japan. As she weeps. And I have this blossomy paper rolled up tight waiting for inspiration.
Ariane - a japanese bath is so very special, what a sad but lovely story. Lilli flower.... where is she? I thought that she had been gone for months without returning. What will we do?
Tatjana, Citlalli and Nadine - thankyou and I am coming over to you to land in your blossoms.
Yes, we all cry for Japan. And I guess we'll be doing it for a long time. Frightening to all of us. A beautiful post. Japanese paper aesthetics combined with all our grief and fears.
I am a nostalgic, melancholic only child who loves to make tea, make lists, make love, make art and make dinner. Sometimes all at once.
All photos and art work here are mine. Please link back to me if you would like to use images. x
dear Jasmin,

but as always I like your 'quick line'
the expression in just a few strokes
love it
