This is a craft book, "Let's Make Cute Stuff - Cute Dolls", by Aranzi Aronzo. I actually stumbled upon it in the library, when I was walking past the craft books section while on my way to 'check-out' some other books that I wanted to borrow. I'm very happy to find this book cos it featured some very cute dolls that I just have to make! The book comes with ready patterns that you can use, it's so convenient! By the way, if you look at the 2nd photo on the top right, it says this book is 'Manufactured in Singapore'! Well, not that it matters but I just have to highlight it cos the book was printed here! Haha... :)
In case you're wondering - don't be fooled, Aranzi & Aronzo are not guys but actually 2 Japanese ladies! If you have time, you may want to check out their
online website - very kawaii!! Also, don't forget to hop over to
Lyn's Belle And Rose blog, she has an interesting post on them too.
I love all those dolls featured in the book (don't you?). If only I could make them all but there're just too many! Hmm...which one shall I make first?
The monkey is cute! Wonder if the instructions are written in English...love to see what you have picked to make first. Gambate!
ReplyDeleteHeehee, I adore the monkey too. :) YES, this book is in English (hooray!)! I suppose you can understand how excited I am to find an English version of a Japanese craft book, for once? I like Japanese craft books & magazines but sometimes they are not available in English, so I could only enjoy the pictures but not understand what's written. Pity!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, totally. Those in Kinokuniya and PageOne were published in Japanese. A pity indeed. Like you, I could only *drool* at those pictures. Haha.
