TOP 5: Matcha Green Tea.

Matcha is a brilliant green powder made from ground green tea leaves. I’ve been intrigued by it since I stumbled upon this recipe for Matcha panda bread, which is funny given that I don’t particularly like drinking green tea. (I do like pandas, though.)

TOP 5: Paint it Make it.

Last Saturday, I went to an arty party. Paint It Make It, hosted by Illustration Rally, was a fundraising event for Japan. There was drawing, painting, tea ceremonies, cake, origami and more. Check it out:

1. Live drawing!

2. ‘Keep your chin up!’

3. Lots of people making lots of different things (zines, doodles, origami…).

4. Cake! (The green tea and ginger cupcakes were my favourite.)

5. My drawing. Someone described it as ‘scary’. thanks?
