Junk Journal ジャンクジャーナル

Junk Journal ジャンクジャーナル 今日は私のジャンクジャーナルの紹介です。(何が本当のジャンクジャーナルなのか正直なところわかりません😑) 私のジャンクジャーナルは新しく購入したクラフト商品の試しやカードを作った時に出たスクラップ、思いつきのイラストやアイデアをキープしています。

Today I would like to show you one of my junk journals. To be honest, I’m not even sure what a real junk journal is!😑

I use mine for keeping scraps from cards I have made. Sometimes, it might just be a sketch for an idea that came into my head. Or test runs to try out new craft products. Even…

Kirie Mermaid Card & Japanese Mythology

Kirie Mermaid Card & Japanese Mythology 誕生日が夏の友人に人魚の切り絵カードを作りました。 薄めの黒い紙(120gsm位)に直接下書き。独立した泡も切りましたが最終的には使いませんでした。 カット完成。ヒレの線に結構苦労しました。きちんと下書きをして線を決めてから切れば良かった。 アセテートに挟んで裏からPebeo Vitrail で裏から着色しました。 水彩絵の具でバックグラウンドを作成し合体。メッセージカードも作りました。

人魚のカード (切り絵)

I made a kirie mermaid card for my dear friend because it seemed like the perfect theme for someone who has a summer birthday.

誕生日が夏の友人に人魚の切り絵カードを作りました。

Mermaid Sketch

First of all, I sketched the design directly onto black paper (about 120gsm). Initially, I also cut out the separate bubbles. Eventually, I decided not to use them.

Paper Cutout (Kirie): The Fairy and the Frog Prince

Paper Cutout (Kirie): The Fairy and the Frog Prince 今日は切り絵作品、蛙と妖精を紹介します。私は蛙が大好きです。子供の頃によく遊びに行った親戚の家の周りは田んぼで、夜になるとうるさくて寝られないくらい蛙が鳴いていました。特に雨蛙が大好きで捕まえては観察していてあっという間に時間が過ぎていました。今ではそこも田んぼはほとんどなくなってしまい鳴き声を聞くのも難しくなってしまったようです。

切り絵 – 蛙と妖精

Today I would like to introduce you to another paper cutout (kirie) work, The Fairy and the Frog Prince.

I love frogs. When I was a kid, I often used to stay at my cousin’s house, which was surrounded by rice fields. At night, the sound of the frogs was so loud, I could barely sleep! I especially loved the Japanese Tree Frogs, and I used to catch them in the fields so that I…

A Mermaid Birthday Card for a Young Woman from Belarus

I made a birthday card at the request of my mother-in-law. It is summer and the card was for a young woman, so I chose a card with a mermaid motif.

花の妖精ジオラマカード Diorama or Shadow Box?

I made a flower fairy birthday card for an old friend because loves flowers. It is a diorama style card, although I’ve also seen people calling this style a shadow box. Is there a difference or is it just a different name for the same thing? If you have any ideas, please let me know…

Hozuki – what’s in a name?

One of my favourite plants is called Hozuki in Japanese. I wanted to make something that included Hozuki and a fairy.

After I had finished the picture, I started thinking about what to write for my blog and realised that I didn’t know the English word for Ho-zuki. When I searched the internet, I found several different names; Chinese-Lantern,…

Liverpool FC 2019-2020

I made this card for my husband. The football season in England was suspended once the lockdown started. At the time, his favourite football team, Liverpool FC, were just two wins away from winning their first English title since 1990. For a while, it seemed that the season would be cancelled altogether and Liverpool’s chance to win the title…

チョウトンボのカード

I recently discovered this amazingly beautiful dragonfly. I don’t remember ever having seen one, but this species of dragonfly seems to live in Japan. In Japanese, we call them choutonbo, which translates to Butterfly Dragonfly. The gorgeous wings are blue and purple, like stained glass. The card I have made is inspired by this dragonfly.

Carp Kirie

鯉の切り絵

As it was May 5th,  I decided to make something with carp. In Japan, this day is called Kodomo-no-hi, which translates to Children’s Day. It celebrates the hope for kids health and growth. We put koi-nobori, cloth streamers in the shape of a carp, on tall poles outside our house, so that when they blow in the wind, they look as though they are swimming in the sky. Carps are believed to…
