I was fortunate to have a few days off just on time to celebrate the Chinese New Year and to attend the CHA (hobby show) Winter 2009.
It was so much fun attending the show. I went there two days.
I have watched a few demos and spent a lot of time learning new things. I have gotten some new ideas making unique pressed flower jewelries.
I have also met Nobuo Sugino at the Japanese Pavilion. He had others from IPFAS were there demonstrating Nature Print and postcard making. I am especially happy to see a few large original pressed flower art works displayed in the booth. They were really kind to allow me to get inside of the booth and look at everything closely. They have also displayed other botanical arts such as hair clips, pins, and etc…
Economy has affected the show. It is pretty slow. Most of the booths were not giving out free samples anymore. The ones still having samples were not giving out freely. Nobuo gave out great packages on Nature Print. He was most generous also gave all of my S. CA students each a package. I have taught them in the last part of my class yesterday.

Hi we were given a sample pack at CHA with no directions and no website info. Could you direct us to the companies site in english?
Thanks
I am not sure if there is a site in English. Did you get a brochure "Let's Try" Vol 3? On the first page, it has step by step pictures. Although instructions are in Japanese, I think you can figure it out by looking at the pictures.
I will ask to see if I am authorized to give English instructions to everyone.
