Shino Suzuki

I was very excited on Friday to be given a parcel with a very recognisable 'Kickcan and Conkers' label on it, by my wonderful friend Jay Anderson who certainly has just the best timing for giving parcels. 

Well I was in a meeting, and I very carefully pealed away layers of washi tape and lovely paper and 'Edward popped out' completely disturbing the meeting (which was perfect).
Poor Edward has made a long journey from the South of France to Scotland, from the Mediterranean to the Forth and apart from his scarf he is not very appropriately dressed, but then most of the time neither am I as I try to pretend that I am in the Med and not freezing in Fife. 
However I will keep him safe and try to keep him warm as we now begin the long winter.

He (Edward) was made by Shino Suzuki who graduated from University College Falmouth in 2009 and was featured on the Selvedge blog but has since vanished from the Internet so if anyone comes across Shino Suzuki and can provide a link to her current work please leave a comment.
Thank you Jay for a wonderful present and thank you Deb for your wonderful shop.

JouJou

Thank you for all your wonderful comments over the last week, I have been away for a week in Malta seeing some old friends and sharing this wonderful country with my family this time, as last time I was there it was as part of the Leonardo project with my college.
We could pack very little but one very light wonderful thing that made it into my bag, for mine and Freya's entertainment, was a butterfly set by JouJou from Kickcan and Conkers.

Happy Easter and Thank you
