こんいちは!

Still in Japan, now staying for a while in Izu, Shizuoka.

I have been taking some photos to Takayuki's pottery.

At his website, you can see some more.

Now I also have a flickr. I upload some photos of the mountain that we climbed a few days ago. 2700m, -20ºC. Amazing!

2011-11-17T12:40:00.000+01:00

I'm leaving the monastery soon.
It's time to put feet on ground.
I'm looking for a job.
I need a change in my life.

2011-11-06T03:50:00.000+01:00

Hello everyone!
I'm not posting so often here since I started using tumblr, so if you want to see more of my ephemeral collections (like this), check my tumblr. I'm also using svpply, it's so easy to use! Here is my svpply profile.

More... I'm still in Japan, living in a zen monastery, 180km far from Kyoto, in the west cost. I have been here for one month and a half. It's being a very interesting experience, very... inspirational. Take a look to their website. Also you can see some of the photos that i have been taking here.
So... taking some time for [not]thinking.

As always, thank you for posting such beautiful things, specially to Renee, Montmarte is also a "temple of peace" for me :)

Take care!

What a surprise when i saw Takayuki's works on Kimberly's blog!
Don't you think that these pieces are amazing?

Takayuki Watanabe is an artist that i met in Japan last year.
He is a ceramist from MinamiIzu, Shizuoka.

He doesn't have a website, but if you are interested in his works, write me and i'll put you in contact with him.

From the Peabody Museum.

Hello!

Sorry for the long time I haven't post anything.
Many things and many new plans and... well, here I am again :)

What have I done?
First, my plans for renting a piece of land where not possible, so I decided to leave for a while.
I went to France and then I walked The Way of St. James, by the coast.
One month walking, many stories to tell, many interesting people... a great experience.

Now I can't say I know what I'll do next.
I have some idea... I will show you soon.

Ah! I bought an ukelele! I'm so happy :)

2010-09-02T19:41:00.001+02:00

I´m sorry. I have no internet at home so I can´t keep the blog updated.
I am in La Palma right now. I am making sandals, necklaces, I am also painting with watercolors, studying japanese, growing vegetables. I am making some layouts of a house I want to build.I finally got my driver's licence! (yesss)

And now i have in mind a really big project... I don´t want to tell more, but if you want to know... I talked about it here ;)

This plant you see in the picture is a "Tamaya", I got it recently.
It has a beautiful story.

I want to thank you for the big inspiration you have given to me with your blogs, because the little time i had internet i just wanted to check them out.

(Please forgive my english!)

Have you ever realized that you can learn how to make almost everything in youtube??

For example, you can learn how to make an adobe house, and then, how to make a vault; or how to make paper, or a bamboo basket, or how to make your own shoes.

By the way, here you are the video of how to make the traditional japanese sandals, as the ones I showed here.

2010-07-01T17:40:00.003+02:00

Some days ago I found a very interesting website of a museum dedicated to anthropology. It has a huge library with information of artcraft from all the world.
I spent hours looking for ceramic, clothes, and every kind of handmade objects, completly fascinated.
I am glad to share with you this wonderful discovery.

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, at Harvard University.

As the collections are online you can easily perform searches.
I have prepared some posts about different cultures to show the things I like the most. The first one is from Peru.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel around the world researching craft forms?
And to later on open a school where you can learn how to be completely self-sufficient, making your own things with your hands.
I have been thinking about this for a long time now.
