\nSAFFRON – 31 HANSON PLACE in FORT GREENE, BROOKLYN. <\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nKEIGO TAKAHASHI hands his work over to Tetsuji. to accommodate more artists, all with diverse works, and in keeping with the small storefront space – the theme of the show was: all the works had to be twelve inches or under !! the artists are both local and international – 36 in all. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\noh oh – talking about facets – just then the vintage jewelry display caught my eye . . . . <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\na wonderful ‘4 leaf clover’ pin for $16 – reminds me of my OLD NAVY – ST. PATRICK’S DAY quilt patch – code !! – on that old crib quilt repair, I just finished.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\na curious and very neat – bakelite – clock pin, also caught my eye. ($20).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthen in came – YASUSHI SUZUKI.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nwith his wife, and fellow artist – KIYOKO SUZUKI.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\ntalking about pins – KIYOKO SUZUKI makes handcrafted one-of-a-kind artisan pins.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nno, not every artist in the show is of Japanese, or Japanese-American background !!
\nand, not everyone came in under 12 x 12 in. !!
\nNANCY SMITH, mylar-coated, paper photocopy banners – well, the ‘streamer ribbon’ extensions can be tucked underneath – and then they come in – under 12 x 12 in. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>
\nthat’s a photocopy of a photograph of one of my watercolors from the early 90’s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nwhich somehow brings me to the wonderful flower offerings – for sale at SAFFRON. this is a Leucadendron, $8 a bunch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nnot sure what this is – but it must be very special – it’s priced at $110.
\nSAFFRON did their first full-scale wedding flower arrangement this past summer. must have been very unique, as well as very sophisticated, sweet & fresh !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nKana shows me another wonderful little flowering stem.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSAFFRON is a block away from the Fulton St. – Clock Tower !!
