(Blogging with a big smile this morning . . .)
Here’s the other birthday book I picked up at Kinokuniya. ISBN 978-4-8275-4323-0. Yo-yo motifs! Swoon . . .
Seriously, I could show you everything in this book as a favorite, but I’ll try to exercise some restraint. Look at these cover models! Those yo-yo ornaments! The placemat edging! Those hair combs! (Ever seen the flower-shaped yo-yo maker?)
There’s a whole primer on how different sections of a patterned fabric will result in different yo-yo designs. Worth its weight in gold.
Another take on a yo-yo bag. So sweet and simple. And those are some teeny tiny yo-yos.
Speaking of teeny tiny, I could not love this little yo-yo adorned gift card more. Soooooo many ideas floating around in my brain for these.
I also love this scarf and glove embellishment dearly. The print yo-yos on the plain scarf: a genius touch. And the gloves combine the yo-yos with a ribbon rosette, which adds nice texture.
Isn’t this a quintessential example of Japanese craft-book photo styling? A vintage cross. Woodland animals. apples. All part of this complete breakfast?
Anyway, I have yo-yos on the brain lately. I blame the Clover Yo-Yo Maker. In a good way.
OH! How absolutely awesome!! It makes me want to add yo-yos to everything!!!

[...] Sister Diane of CraftyPod is sharing more Japanese-crafting love with a sharp article about yo-yos. I’m completely crazy for the teeny-tiny versions. Go see. [...]
Ok, so I’m not usually a yo-yo fan. But these, these are sublime yo-yo-i-ness.
