some lovely things I thought I would share from 2 of Japanese Craft books.
The first 6 photos are from ISBN978-4-529-04295-6. A beautiful crochet book, with a lot of cute slippers, this gorgeous granny square rug and a few other bits and pieces you'll want to make.
The second 6 photos are taken from ISBN4-579-10979-1. I posted this a little while ago, but didn't get time to show the photos inside. The bags in this book are amazing. I lot of beautiful, intricate stitching and beading.




I can never tired of these japanese books. They are so much inspirational. There is a dream like quality to it and the photography is always so soft and pretty.

it is so funny - i love the content in those japanese craft books, but its always the photography that blows me away - i try to learn from their talents but i can never quite make my photos look as beautiful! i love the way the model sits on the chair, just looking gorgeous Japanese gorgeous like they do.

It makes me want to be able to crochet - but I have tried and I just can't keep the tension effectively! I love those slippers with the spots! Thanks for sharing with us!

thanks for sharing these wonderful photos for inspiration. I don't own any Japanese craft books, so it is fun to see a sneak peek. I love that bag in the top center.
