Whilst shopping at a Japanese bookstore...(now I have to travel to find one)
This one caught my eye. It's unique, the style is different and so away from the large heads, tiny bodies, and plastic eyes and nose that you typically see. Mainly the stuff I do - hah.
The Book is titled "Shiro- to- Ku-ro" meaning (sorry I have terrible Japanese translation)
"Black and White"
The intro loosely describes that the author created the designs and her 85 year old mother crochet them.
Her mother has to be closely watched, because she crochets so fast that the daughter is worried that it might turn into a pig, instead of a dog. The cute thing is that, this is obviously a great mother and daughter teamwork, even though the author says that her mother grumbles while she crochet and a challenge to "control" her.
Hah, that's probably an understatement when it comes to mother and daughter relationship.
Anyways, love the unique look to their designs.
Unfort, I didn't buy the book...I already have more then enough Japanese craft books...
