Annual Mizuhiki Workshop Day – Perth
The day after the Perth Japan Festival, Az from Happy JP Designs and I came together again to host our annual Mizuhiki workshop at the State Library.
This year, Az shared her beautiful six-petaled flower designs for brooches and pendants, and I taught plum knot earrings and a matching pendant.
It was such a joy to see everyone creating their own unique pieces and leaving with smiles on their faces and something special to take home.
