washi dolls

linda gregoriou

Australian Vogue Living Jan/Feb 07 issue featured Linda Gregoriou's home. let's count the ways i love thee...

  1. white on white, ooo so tactile
  2. Diamantini & Domenicon 'Cuckoo Forest' Clock
  3. Tord Boontje's garland lamp (though this has been featured oh-too-often in Singapore glossies that I'm beginning to feel it's cliche-ness)
  4. Japanese Washi Doll mobile

The enchanting japanese washi doll mobiles were ubiquitous in the feature article (see picture on right). i used to make these ephemeral dolls and they would serve as bookmarks securing a page in a novel that i'd loved, a formulae page in a chemistry textbook or sometimes, hidden away in a book i had given up reading. the dolls are easy to make - click here and here for instructions. ~exp.
