I only added travel information in my blog recently, but I restarted making artworks before summer.
These photos under is a new artwork recently completed, the size is about 16x23cm.
I tried to change the color of bar code part, I think green bar code matches the color of the work. So I’ll try to change color of bar code in other artworks, too.

Actually I spent all of my energy for preparing last exhibition (I moved all of my artworks and my stuff from Shanghai to Japan, then I continued making large artwork), I really didn’t want to any see embroidery thread. Then I escaped into other works. But after I’ve seen beautiful scenery in Japan ( and Malaysia, too) I felt like making artworks again and even I got new idea for my artwork.

And this is another artwork I’m making, the size will be 110 x 21 cm. This works is larger than I first imagined, so I need more time to finish this.
I think I can finish this in a week. This will be a beautiful colored artwork inspired by an image of a summer landscape.

After finish this, I’ll make a cylindrical spinning Mani wheel type artwork.
