To all my valued clients .. thank you for your patience with me these past 8 months .. it’s been BIG .. lots of gifts in all shapes & forms (even the challenging ones) .. but for now I really need to rest, recover & rejuvenate amidst my beloved heartland Japan .. I’ll be back on Wednesday, 13th May. And yes, I am attending an advanced Shibori & Indigo residential as well .. I will post some pics as I know I’ll want to share my JOY .. ✈️🇯🇵🪡🧵⛩️ .arts.precinct
