interesting and odd japanese blog

house dust did some searching on technorati for Yuko Nishimura and I found that future feeder posted a link! great to see the word being spread. followed another link, and saw this blog which had not only a nishimura photo, but a photo from my flickr account! that was pretty pleasing to see, even if I can’t understand anything on the page.

tsuru artwork in acrylic

it glows! Originally uploaded by R.bean. a wonderfully crafty acquaintance on flickr created this artwork- it has many, many cranes involved! she really taps into some strange, art/design/geometry zeitgeist with effortless ease. I’m envious, to say the least!
