Cherry blossoms
CHERRY BLOSSOMS It was a site to see a singular cherry blossom. The rich pink petals danced in the gentle wind, creating a delicate scene. The cool spring air kept the blossoms from wilting and gave them their signature scent.

Cherry blossoms #4
The blossoms were created using a familiar technique called double wall quilting, where two pieces of fabric are sandwich together to create a thin area which is then embellished with decorative stitching.

Coastal mist
There are two possible reasons why Misaki has chosen to paint flowers in oil painting format for this piece.

Another reason is that by using flowers and plants, she was making reference to…
