Look at this amazing Tanabata festival I went to in Hiratsuka today! Oh My Goodness it was so beautiful!
I've been in love with Tanabata festival for many years now. Remember this artwork I made that was inspired by this festival? Seeing Tanabata in real life for the first time today has given me so much inspiration for my upcoming show (where I will create another Tanabata-inspired installation) at Sydney's Object Gallery. I'll be hosting a paper craft workshop too so I hope you can come along!
I've also got a little Tanabata tree in my new Tokyo apartment! You could make some decorations for your home too using these cute instructions!
Happy Tanabata Everyone!
Love Love
