Your Face - Tea Towels

Damien Weighill draws faces for free if you send him a photo of yourself. Last year he drew me as a pirate. Now he has printed tea towels with some of the faces he drew. You can order them here or buy them at the Red Door Gallery.
I received a towel some weeks ago. I am not sure what to do with it now. It is too nice to be used. I´m thinking of hanging it on the wall or making a cushion out of it. Any other ideas?

Work in Progress (Sugar and Tea bags)

I still love Andrea´s style and I keep trying to learn from her wonderful sketches and drawings. But I have never got the patience for it, so this piece was started in Fuerteventura in July. I need to finish it.

Jerusalem Sketches - The Schatz Garden

March 31, we took a bus to Ofra and spent the day there with the Schatz family. They had invited Benjamin in January 2008 to spend Shabbes with them and he wanted me to meet them too. They are a wonderful family and I enjoyed our stay there. Thanks, Family Schatz for the warm welcome, the garden tour and its wonderful dried fruit and the wonderful lunch, tea and cookies.







Update:
I forget to mention that in the evening we drove with Lisa and Yecheskel back to Jerusalem to an Asian restaurant. At the Yoja we enjoyed Sushi, Dim Sum, Sake, etc... It has been years since we last went to an Asian restaurant. Boy, I do miss it again.

Tokyo In Sight!

Well, the title of this post may be exaggerated, but today I won in the lottery. Usually I play once or twice a year. But then Dorin Popa (a guy from Munich) started a lottery blog. Each week he buys a lottery ticket and if you have saved his address in your blog roll or comment on his blog you join the lottery automatically.

Of course people started fantasizing what they would do with the money. Me too. I was sure if I would win a larger sum, I would go on a holiday trip. The past days I have been thinking, reading and even dreaming a lot of Tokyo. Today night I thought to myself that if I ever wanted to fly to Japan, I would need to buy a lotto ticket. That´s what I did online at 3 am in the morning.
Today I won and if I do so a few more times I can book my flight to Tokyo. :) What a great year!
Actually I do not have any relationship to Japan and I guess I have pretty touristy interests in Tokyo, but the city is just too tempting. I think of Geishas, Sumo Wrestling, Bondage, Sushi, Cosplay, Craziness, Tea, Manga, Maid Cafes, Capsule Hotels, Ghibli, Samurai, Noodles, Electric Craziness, masses of people, weird stuff and lots more.
According to last weeks quotes I´ll just have to win another 35 times. :)
