Today, I went to St-Pholien, it's a place where you can find old funritures, fabrics, lamps, armchairs, sofas, it's a second hand trade, it's fun, you find all type of things from 30's to 70's...
Today, I found an old 50's furniture, just the size that I want to put my fabrics, my buttons, and my stuff for my crafty madness...
I paint it in flashy colors, I guess that my lover is going to have an attack when he'll come back from work!!!
But this piece of furniture cost me only 10 euros...A gift :)
After, I paint it in fresh colors, just to give him back to life!!!
It will be fine in my sister's bathroom...
Here's my cute mouse called Captain Mousse, too many times to sew this tiny mouse, too difficult to follow the instructions of japanese book craft, after two hours, I decided to do it like I want...
That's not the same mouse than she is in the book, but, that's my mouse ( I know, I'm curious with my soft toys, It's like a new born, a baby, I love them already!!!)
Hello, We are the new creations of DaphneZinzin, no imitation, just an idea who comes true in the Zinzin head of our mother Daphne, we come from japan, I'm Tokyo boy, I'm quite fat and full of dots, my brother, Osaka Fever, had problems of aviary influenza mixed with toomuch scottish whisky, that's why he's so odd...Please, don't imitate, don't try this at home, it's risky...
When we were younger, we used to get dressed in different characters, husband and his wife, egyptian queens, gypsies, duck, conchitas, well, it was the best part of my life with all the other parts that I love to share with my sister...
Oh, the husband, this is me...
And oh, my sister is my best friend I have!!!

This day, my lover offered me a new sewing machine Toyota Quilt 50...Wow, what a great name, but what a shame...I just cannot make her worked because I'm not able to make work a sewing machine...
Whatever, after a fight of 40 minutes with this sewing needle and her friend "The wire", I could make a heart with fabric that toyota friendly give me in case I couldn't just do it well, just to try, just to see how I'm not able to do sewing...Shame on me, but show must go on, I'll carry on, I'll do my best, tomorrow, I'll make a pillow, and the day after, I'll make a doll with two arms and two legs!!!
I didn't say my last word...
My boyfriend took this pic between Battery Park and Wall Street, this is my zodiacal sign.
Taurus, well, it's what I am, nervous, coleric when something is going wrong, impatient, ready to sink, delighted, bloody, well, I'm someone very entire, too much sensitive but it's like that and that's the way it is... :)
In june 2005, we went to New York for 3 weeks, it was the best trip I ever done (excepted with Hong Kong)...
We feel free, we were at home, I miss all these noises, sometimes, I would like to turn back time, just to feel the good of this town, spent time on Madison square Park, wondering what I could eat at the Madras Mahal restaurant, on 28th Street, yes, New York could be my second home, if I could win the lottery, I would buy a little flat on 23th street...
And I will eat flashy pastries looking at the squirrels track race...
Sometimes, I give name to my paints...
They are not kittys anymore but they are my babies, they give me joy, they make me laugh, they get me nervous at times, but these little devils are from my family...
Hello, it's me...:)
Here's the Treedweller from the Famous Designer Nathan Jurevicius, my boyfriend offered me this scarygirl for my St-Nicolas (like Santa Clause but in Europe)...
I love her very much, again, a japanese feeling in my life...
A great designer of vinyl toys and other plushes...
Here's Two Ugly Dolls and their friends the Noupa...
Another thing, I use Blythe Doll in my performing arts because I like the way they look, It's again a japanese influence in my life...What do you think about Blythe Doll???
I don't know how but one day, I went to see my sister, she showed me japanese craft books, since this day, I cannot forget the fact that I'm all of that, I love this art craft, I like the tiny toys, the oldies look they were, I like all these small cute things that japaneses create, they always seems to be in advance over their time!!!
In this way I would like to show you what could inspired me the japanese craft...
Hello to all of you...
That's my first experience on the blogger site, I will try to do my best to put pics, messages and other things but I'm not sure it will work.
I'm coming from a little country in Europe, this is the chocolate-fries-beer-moulds country...You see??? Belgium, yes, I'm living in a cool town called Liège, this is old nice city with nice buildings, nice gardens, old pavements, taverns, stores, nice slopes with sheeps...
About me??? Well, I'm living in the center of this town in a cute flat in 17's house...
I have a boyfriend who's really understanding and we would like to have children but not now, because I have no job, and as we would like to buy a house it's impossible...
I like art, I like doing paints, papier-mâché assemblies, and in the futur, I would like to have a sewing machine to do some soft toys and plushs for children and adults too...
I've ordered my firsts japanese craft pattern books on amazon japan (I can't wait...), and I wish to receive money enough for my birthday to buy this sewing machine and start my new craze :)...
Well, I Stop here, but show must go on!!!!
Cheers,
Daphne
