Para para, Sakura!
We are dancing a new dance these days!
(Sorry we haven't done this up yet with the full line-ups, but we'll get there!)
Oh, our new dance? Para, para SAKURA! =)
Ok, not really 'para-ing' but we've got some Sakura products in that we can't help but share it with all of you!
For the benefit of those who don't know who or what Sakura is; simply put Sakura invented oil pastels and gel inks! Yes, the very gel ink you are using right now or the oil pastels that you are using in school?! Well, it wouldn't have been possible without the genius of Sakura! You can read more about them here!
They were out of the scene for a while, at least here in Malaysia but boy, are they back with a vengence! They've got the Gelly Rolls (gel ink pens), the CrayPas (oil pastels), the Pigma Inks (well, Pigma pens!) and a whole lot more.
But for now, we bring you our current Sakura favourite!
