Today’s Bridge 5.30.10

Took a nice walk to the Brooklyn Bridge Park on Saturday night. It was the perfect night — no jacket, no wind, no humidity, no coldness, no hotness, nothing. Felt really good outside and we loved it. We also appreciate our neighborhood, the stunning view of the bridge and the newly opened park! It was really nice :)

Happy Memorial Day!

Hi!

I hope you had a nice week and that you are ready for the long Memorial Day weekend… We are probably working on our loft, picking up our new dining table (SO exciting), finishing up the origami project

I have recently printed “HI!” cards for my shop customers :) Wood type all set on the Vandercook press here.

Hi, weekend! I’ve been waiting for you :) Have a great weekend, everyone!! xo Hijiri

OVO Costume Design

We went to see Cirque du Soleil‘s OVO about a month ago, and I enjoyed not only their superhuman performance and structure of the show, but also the costume designs so much. Always so special and theatrical, and they do such an acrobatic move in the costume, so intriguing…

For some reason, at Ikea Brooklyn, they are showcasing some of the costumes from the OVO!

I’m not exactly sure if they are the real ones that they are using, though, you get to see the designs here. Aren’t they something?!

(They are all insects.)

Happy Friday!
