Looking at my past posts. I haven't uploaded when I was printing an edition of "Thread on Table" yet as I hadn't decided which papers and inks I would use for it. The example is a proof printed on Italian blue paper with earth brown ink and blue paper with green ink. Also Chine-collé with green kitakata paper and also natural with black ink. I tried using variations of colors from bright orange to dark red for the ink for the red thread in the proofs. I decided to make editions of two different techniques with the same image. They are chine-colle with green kitakata paper on warm white paper and the Italian blue paper with dark olive green ink.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;皆さん、お久し振りです。お元気でしたか？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;時間が経つのは本当に早いもので、2月から何もブログにアップしてなかったんですね。過去ポストしたのをみていて、”テーブルの上の糸”のエディションをするまでの事をアップを忘れてました。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;本刷りまでには、色んな違った色の紙に刷ってそして、インクの色も変えて私が考えるイメージにより近づける為に沢山の試し刷りをしてみました。一枚の作品が出来るまで、エッチング板の製作にも時間が掛かりますが、本刷りをするまでも、紙の色（紙の性質も含めて）インクなどを選んだりと時間が掛かってます。写真は2種類の紙に4種類の違うインクと違うテクニックでプリントしたものです。最終的にイタリー製のブルーの紙にダークオリーブグリーンのインクとウォームホワイトの紙で喜多方を使ったシンコレ(写真の右上)の2種類エディションを作ることを決めました。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/846403794679506770-4457630474305340196?l=mayuminews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mayuminews.blogspot.com/feeds/4457630474305340196/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=846403794679506770&amp;postID=4457630474305340196&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/846403794679506770/posts/default/4457630474305340196'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/846403794679506770/posts/default/4457630474305340196'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mayuminews.blogspot.com/2010/09/time-flies-so-fast.html' title='Time flies so fast.時間が経つのは早い'/><author><name>Mayumi Takagi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16496347300521321552</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SF3NEqrIFlI/AAAAAAAAAYU/VrJjFxIdWZs/S220/mayumitakagi_01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/TJUIEkoPHJI/AAAAAAAAA70/M3OeCzQZTdI/s72-c/prints_mayumitakagi.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846403794679506770.post-8425460277209940405</id><published>2010-02-11T00:29:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-11T11:44:43.382-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Greeting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weather'/><title type='text'>Hello.　雪のNYより久し振りに</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/S3OWO62ehhI/AAAAAAAAA7U/BxQRZdaKYDc/s1600-h/snow210mayumitakagi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436854358226404882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/S3OWO62ehhI/AAAAAAAAA7U/BxQRZdaKYDc/s200/snow210mayumitakagi.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt; Hi I don't know what I'm going to write first. I haven't been writing anything on my blog over two months already. I had the crazy hectic days a whole month in December, 2009. I only had a day off on Christmas day. And I was visiting Japan in January. I had a great time with my family. We cerebrate New Year is one of the biggest holiday than Christmas in Japan. My mother cooked the best traditional new year food I had ever. I hadn't visited Japan for Five years. So I really enjoyed staying there and it was a busy stay. I recovered from a jet-lag now.&lt;br /&gt;It was snowing in NY today. The show storm was coming but if living in city, I didn't feel it doesn't seem the big storm. Anyway, the picture is I took from my studio's window. The snow on the branches is very beautiful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;2ヶ月以上ブログを書けなかったんですが、皆さん、どんな新年を迎えましたか？もう節分も過ぎてしまったんですか。昨年11月半ばから忙しくて、特に12月は狂った様に、毎日睡眠不足で、クリスマスの日だけ、たった一日休んで、1月は日本に用事があって帰国してました。5年振りだったので、忙しい滞在に成りました。でも。家族とのお正月を楽しく過ごしました。母が作ってくれたお正月料理、とっても美味しく頂きました。久し振りだったので沢山の知人や友人と逢いたいと思っていましたが、時間的に無理でした。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;今日は雪が振って、冬(雪)の嵐という事でニューヨークの公共の学校は閉校だったけど、あまり積もらなくて、子供達ががっかりしているんじゃないかと思った程でした。都会に住んでると雪の嵐と言ってもそれ程感じられない。木の枝に積もった雪が美しくかったので写真を。私のスタジオの窓から。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/846403794679506770-8425460277209940405?l=mayuminews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mayuminews.blogspot.com/feeds/8425460277209940405/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=846403794679506770&amp;postID=8425460277209940405&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/846403794679506770/posts/default/8425460277209940405'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/846403794679506770/posts/default/8425460277209940405'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mayuminews.blogspot.com/2010/02/hello.html' title='Hello.　雪のNYより久し振りに'/><author><name>Mayumi Takagi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16496347300521321552</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SF3NEqrIFlI/AAAAAAAAAYU/VrJjFxIdWZs/S220/mayumitakagi_01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/S3OWO62ehhI/AAAAAAAAA7U/BxQRZdaKYDc/s72-c/snow210mayumitakagi.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846403794679506770.post-6091572704781889656</id><published>2009-11-20T17:50:00.024-05:00</published><updated>2010-09-14T01:48:37.981-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='printmaking（版画）'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='red thread'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Etching'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Newspaper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Portrait'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aquatint'/><title type='text'>My article in the newspaper, 新聞に私の記事が</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SwZHUbz5mQI/AAAAAAAAA5s/629sCJdD3ZQ/s1600/NYseikatsu_101709_mayumitak.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406086819093256450" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 188px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SwZHUbz5mQI/AAAAAAAAA5s/629sCJdD3ZQ/s200/NYseikatsu_101709_mayumitak.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;There is an article about my solo exhibition in Japanese newspaper, The Shukan New York SeiKatsu No.275 (10/17/09 Issue).

Good night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;先週のイメージより更にコントラストを付けて、そして2枚目の板の製作。2枚目の板は赤い糸の部分だけエッチングしました。ところで、先週は天気が良く、最近製作していた肖像画の写真を取りました。近日中にアップします。ニューヨークは肌寒くなって来ました。今日は窓を閉めて寝ないと風邪引きそうです。それでは、お休みなさい。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/846403794679506770-7925455572642313649?l=mayuminews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mayuminews.blogspot.com/feeds/7925455572642313649/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=846403794679506770&amp;postID=7925455572642313649&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/846403794679506770/posts/default/7925455572642313649'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/846403794679506770/posts/default/7925455572642313649'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mayuminews.blogspot.com/2009/09/this-is-third-stage-of-picture.html' title='More working.　頑張ってます。'/><author><name>Mayumi Takagi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16496347300521321552</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SF3NEqrIFlI/AAAAAAAAAYU/VrJjFxIdWZs/S220/mayumitakagi_01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/Sr7s3oNMW2I/AAAAAAAAA2o/Gs0Ek4asOcg/s72-c/scissors4b_mayumitakagi.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846403794679506770.post-2111838044580781191</id><published>2009-09-20T01:37:00.015-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-02T17:14:25.793-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='scissors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weather'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Solo exhibition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Etching'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wood grain'/><title type='text'>Scissors Series #4. はさみ#4</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SrW_9ZekgCI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/waht3_iDOak/s1600-h/scissors4a_mayumitakagi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383419991123329058" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SrW_9ZekgCI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/waht3_iDOak/s200/scissors4a_mayumitakagi.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I've been working on this etching since June.

I worked on the portrait all day yesterday, that's why I might be tired. I did a lot of work on the first day and feel satisfied with what I did.

I saw Joe Anna Arnett painting at the Bethesda Fountain, I was so happy to see her. At about the time I began painting, I found a book, "Painting Sumptuous Vegetables, Fruits and Flowers" by Joe Ann Arnett at the New York Public Library. I love her still life &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360383625699774466" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 116px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 156px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SmPogc2n0AI/AAAAAAAAA1o/CWFk14nYGy8/s200/joeannarnett.jpg" border="0" /&gt;paintings. Since then I've been a fan of hers.&lt;br /&gt;Joe Ann was painting the second painting of the day when I saw her, she had done another one in the morning. I wanted to see it but I couldn't ask as I thought it was already packed away, but she nicely offered to show it to me. They were nice landscape paintings.&lt;br /&gt;She is very friendly, I really enjoyed talking with her.

There was dance performances, live music with swing band and singer, and more. I really enjoyed everything as I've never attended this kind of the ball. I'm showing some pictures here. My sculpture, titled "Demon", is in the exhibition.

The curves around abdomen and pelvis are very nice as well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#333333;"&gt;I'm going to continue to work and post

afternoon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;These are the pictures I like soft lighting and light and shape shadows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;I think it's technically very difficult to do etching. I've never tried to do photo-etching but I may try!? I heard it's not easy to do. I don't decide it yet.

His idea of a title is "Escape from the net".

Also some person said it seems corals. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;I made a kind of cells. The concept of this print is a human being composes many cells but I think the cells create us. The cells are inputted many different information such as the heredity from the parents and their families. I have one more thing for the print... but I don't want to tell everything. I want viewers get some feelings from it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Anyway,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I would like to thank petrakis_nomikos to his comment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;Oyasuminasai...ii yumewo...(Good night...have a sweet dream)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/846403794679506770-393588975562729726?l=mayuminews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mayuminews.blogspot.com/feeds/393588975562729726/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=846403794679506770&amp;postID=393588975562729726&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/846403794679506770/posts/default/393588975562729726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/846403794679506770/posts/default/393588975562729726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mayuminews.blogspot.com/2008/05/more-working.html' title='more worked'/><author><name>Mayumi Takagi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16496347300521321552</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SF3NEqrIFlI/AAAAAAAAAYU/VrJjFxIdWZs/S220/mayumitakagi_01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SVXzsp_6gZI/AAAAAAAAAvQ/r8r-LI-0M9I/s72-c/mayumitakagi_243.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846403794679506770.post-3268125360476106499</id><published>2008-05-01T23:49:00.011-04:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T15:09:15.785-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Relief（レリーフ）'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sculputre（彫刻）'/><title type='text'>The cat and I</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SBqP2alPf-I/AAAAAAAAAFQ/UF1-dJp-fW4/s1600-h/mayumitakagi_221a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195623285136523234" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SBqP2alPf-I/AAAAAAAAAFQ/UF1-dJp-fW4/s400/mayumitakagi_221a.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;Hi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I finally finished to sculpture the relief.

Yes! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;I had this idea last week. I changed from the ornamental patterns to a cat under the window tonight.

(When you click it, you can see detail.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I need more time to work it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Also I wonder if a plant on the right needs or not. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;I'll fugue it out soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Matane(See you)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/846403794679506770-7110979994421428253?l=mayuminews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mayuminews.blogspot.com/feeds/7110979994421428253/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=846403794679506770&amp;postID=7110979994421428253&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/846403794679506770/posts/default/7110979994421428253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/846403794679506770/posts/default/7110979994421428253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mayuminews.blogspot.com/2008/03/relief-02.html' title='The Relief #02'/><author><name>Mayumi Takagi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16496347300521321552</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SF3NEqrIFlI/AAAAAAAAAYU/VrJjFxIdWZs/S220/mayumitakagi_01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SGB_gSLtQ0I/AAAAAAAAAeE/pRIdkxy_GSk/s72-c/mayumi32608_relief.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846403794679506770.post-4851173661818956632</id><published>2008-03-20T23:48:00.016-04:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T15:09:17.901-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Relief（レリーフ）'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sculputre（彫刻）'/><title type='text'>the Relief #01</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SGCGxVoJKoI/AAAAAAAAAeU/mJ1YiCcbVzU/s1600-h/mayumitakagi_relief01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215316550672263810" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SGCGxVoJKoI/AAAAAAAAAeU/mJ1YiCcbVzU/s320/mayumitakagi_relief01.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#333333;"&gt;Hello~&lt;br /&gt;I'm working a relief now. I've made many sculptures before but it was a first time to make relief.&lt;br /&gt;I thought it's easy to make. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Oh! No~.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; It's so difficult to do. And I don't have any model for it. it's all my imagination. At the first, I drew a draft image on a paper then started.&lt;br /&gt;It's very fun and challenge for me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;Please clicking a picture, you can see a detail of the relief. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;I'm going to update working progress by pictures.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/846403794679506770-4851173661818956632?l=mayuminews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mayuminews.blogspot.com/feeds/4851173661818956632/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=846403794679506770&amp;postID=4851173661818956632&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/846403794679506770/posts/default/4851173661818956632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/846403794679506770/posts/default/4851173661818956632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mayuminews.blogspot.com/2008/03/relief.html' title='the Relief #01'/><author><name>Mayumi Takagi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16496347300521321552</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SF3NEqrIFlI/AAAAAAAAAYU/VrJjFxIdWZs/S220/mayumitakagi_01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yuLyjJr85ME/SGCGxVoJKoI/AAAAAAAAAeU/mJ1YiCcbVzU/s72-c/mayumitakagi_relief01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846403794679506770.post-1924435575376688552</id><published>2008-03-04T05:02:00.009-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T15:09:18.061-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Greeting'/><title type='text'>Yoo~hoo~!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#999999;"&gt;Hello!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#999999;"&gt;This is my first blog.
