Medium: Banana leaves and pipe cleaners
Explanation: This is my portable Buddhist shrine. Its diameter is 20 cms and height is about 40cms. I made the plate beneath, too, out of banana leaves. Thais use fresh flowers. I hope fresh jasmine flowers were available in my area.

Medium: Halloween Pumpkin
Explanation: This project was inspired by a Japanese tale of many demons, goblins, spirits, etc. prowling at night during the feudal times in Kyooto. If you read Japanese, you can see names of ghosts, goblings, and spirits written over the surface of the pumpkin. It is lit from within.
