Last week

We went to visit Ace gallery and saw MELANIE PULLEN's works. We happened to be in La brea area so we decided to spent our lunch break in the gallery. We were a bit surprised what we saw in the show. They are fancy & beautiful images for the "War" theme.










This week

I am in a group show called " paper cut" which will open this Saturday. I couldn't believe that I finally finished everything last Friday. Honestly I enjoy doing this. I can't wait to show you more but here are some drafts and sketches I did.

Will come back on Friday and share more!!

Bread roller/ rolling pin

CL made a roller for me last weekend. We still have some leftover cedar lumbers in our back yard from making the deck. He knew that I've been looking for good roller for a while. He didn't let me to pick up one when we were in the Crate and Barrel. He said, that's not a good one in terms of shape and the weight. So he made me one. I really like the shape and it's much lighter than the ones I saw in the store.

We made Chinese dumpling skin by this roller! I have to agree with him this one is very easy to handle. I also like it's fine grain and the natural color. It looks so nice and it's a good tool.

I love the new bread roller!!



He also makes very good smoothie and pasta.
( sorry! scanner is still not working!)



Then, I made cinnamon bread for him and of course I used the new roller.



Have a nice weekend!
