Ismoyo in Japanese!

So finally i can reveal what i was cryptically talking about last week! I am featured in NYJapion! A Japanese newspaper here in New York. My felted cupcake cuties even made it onto the front page!

I think it is so hilarious since i can't read a word of it! I was contacted by one of their reporters and he came over to do an interview and make some photos of me and my crafts.

A picture of my revamped letterpress drawer is on the second page, with an article about Cosplay.

Why is it that you have to have your photo taken just a week before your appointment at the hairdresser? I really do look better now. Is it really me or just a bad picture? I know... i'm too vain. I don't want to be.

The complete story is currently online on the NYJapion site too. I used google translate to get some sort of English version (scroll down). Even with this translation it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. And why does "Ismoyo Green" translates into "chair MOYO Green"? It does make me chuckle and the newspaper is a wonderful keepsake for me.

It's out this week, distributed free in Japanese grocery stores and restaurants throughout the city.
