Saki Yamashita "Usaron" Workshop at Salon de Junie Moon

Usaron workshop details.

It's a joy to share with you, the Saki Yamashita "Usaron" workshop.

For those who are not familiar with Saki's wonderful cute creation, Usaron is a sweet and funny bunny with the essence of vintage flair and the soul of all things kawaii! The Usaron name comes from the Japanese word for "rabbit", Usagi and "ron" for the apron she always wears.

Usaron is one of our favorite characters because she lives in a sweet land and bakes cupcakes and treats for her friends!

Saki held the "Usaron" workshop at Salon de Junie Moon in Osaka, and everyone had a blast!

A lovely bunch of Usaron, Dreamy Bunny and Blythe!

Saki gave a workshop at the Salon de Junie Moon in Osaka and everyone, believe me, had a blast! Be sure to remember the name "Usaron" (pronounced: U-Sa-Ron).



We have something in the works for this sweet and sassy bunny soon! Stay tuned!

Miyuki Odani Workshop Report

We were happy to host another successful and fun workshop with Miyuki Odani. Participants were able to make a Crown Bear one piece dress, decorate rosette, pointy hat and socks.

Four Margo Unique Girl Blythe dolls came to the Salon de Junie Moon workshop weekend! Miyuki prepared the one piece dress before the start of the workshop, so the fans were able to have fun decorating the dresses with rosettes and beads!

There is a tiny difference in the way each person decorated their dresses.

 

It was a wonderful time!
