Bye Bye Etsy

Also, rather than working on functional pieces I think I will begin to work on some art pieces. Here is an example

Cruising Around Japan

I didn't keep up with the blog on the trip and didn't post everyday as I promised.  The map shows all the different cities we visited.  At each of the cities, we went on an excursion.  They all offered a greater in depth view of the local areas.   Most of the excursions left the cities and went into the countryside.
