With these hands




This was made using a clay called 'Jumping Clay'. Don't ask me why it's called that because it does NOT jump or anything. It feels like Play Doh when you take it out.Unlike Play Doh, it dries up to be non-sticky and foam like.


I am not creative. Neither is TH. That is why it surprises us that Sean has a spark of creativity. That boy loves making things. I have a boxful of cards, a trayful of figurines made out of clay and bits and bobs of things that he made hanging from various parts of the house.

His school provides a range of after school activities. This term he has decided to take Japanese cooking. I was not too keen as it was a bit expensive (it's outsourced so a fee is payable) . But I saw how keen he was and agreed to it as I try to encourage interests if it's educational and affordable. So far, he has made a range of sushi, dessert and a rice burger. Unfortunately, most of the end product did not last long enough for me to take pictures. The last one made it only because I took it away the minute he stepped out. Personally, I think it is pretty good. It tasted
pretty good too!



Made from rice, egg. Mayo was used as 'glue'

So cute - the little sushi bundles. What did he use to draw the faces ?

Do they teach food art in the Japanese cooking class or is that just one of his creations ?

They all look wonderful! The sushi is so artistic, how can you bear to eat them?? L-A also went for a sushi making class, was quite good, now we have sushi every once in a while. But nothing as aesthetically pleasing as yours!

PS the top pacman like creation is very cool :)

SM: Not sure what was used to draw the faces. All the kids came out with different looking ..er...kings and queens. Typical Jap fashion, food must look nice. Even his sushi was nicely repsented.

Monica: Hopefully when I'm lazy, he'll take over the cooking. Ulterior motive in sending him for all these cooking classes :)
