Last weekend we spent a wonderful and inspiring time with our friend who lives in Tokio! Take a pick in her beautiful work.

As a special honour to my father I post one of my mouse couples that is living inTokio now :-) admiring a beautiful print that my father did. I am almost sure he would have had great chances to become an artist. He loved to do animal studies and this rooster is part of a series of woodcut prints.

I have to admit, that he really had dicfficulties with raw woolen fibers. As much as the female part of our family loves wool in all of its appearance, my father just hated it. And he passed this discomfort feeling with the fibers to my son. But my son still loves my animals, especially the mice. Once he was hiding all of my christmas mice so I would not sell them.....
