A "wave" of more creatures
This is a bulbous-headed Octopus in a bucket, Squid, Skate, Maori cod, and John Dory. There is a possibility that I might be going to Hong Kong. I've been making some pieces for a long time miniaturist, probably the first person I've ever seen make true Chinese food. She asked if I would be interested in being in a Chinese book about miniaturists, and fly to Hong Kong to promote it. I don't know all the details yet, but a trip to Hong Kong would be GREAT!! I visited when I was very young, so I don't remember much. I guarantee you that if I go, I will be stuffing my face 24/7!!

Kiva,
ReplyDeleteThey all look fantastic!
OMG!!! A trip to Hong Kong, how exciting!!!!!! Don't blow all your money on food, I expect to see you in Chicago next April. ;-)
Thanks Cathy!!!! Oh, nothing is stopping me from Chicago.....great food there too :-D!! You WILL see me, you can count on it!!
ReplyDeleteKiva - your talent is endless and your work well deserves to be in more publications!!
ReplyDeleteHong Kong would be fabulous - such a city full of treasures, and food, glorious food!! :)
Wow your seafood looks so real it is fantastic. Hong Kong sounds exciting, it is certainly a city that never sleeps, it is over 20 years since I was last there, changed a lot I bet!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the book deal! Your work is marvelous as usual. I especially love the octopus!
ReplyDeleteOooooooh... I forgot to tell you how excited I am for you about being published in a Chinese book about miniatures. OMG! I do hope it happens for you. I will sure want to buy a copy of that book.
ReplyDeleteYou are THE best miniature food maker Kiva! I really think so. I haven't seen your sting ray looking things before. Oh, I guess they're called skate, I don't know my fish and seafood. Anyway, they are awesome! And of course, your octopus is super (and kinda cute).
ReplyDeleteLast night, we brought Rosanna and Walter to a seafood restaurant and there's a pic of a fried fish in there that reminded me of you. I swear though that your clay ones look more real than that fish.
ReplyDeleteThis is so freaking exciting! Do you speak Mandarin? Do you need a translator? *pointing to meself :). Most of them speak Cantonese. Anyhow, HK will be such a treat. Don't miss their desserts (tong sui- "sugar water") and tim sum and pork noodles. I love this artist Carrie Chau who does the cutest stuffed toys -not dollhouse, just regular. Check her out too :). Oh my, so many things to see there.
They look fab! And what a great thing, your work really deserves to be in lots of publications :) HK, would love to go there, my daughter was there in the winter and loved it :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Kiva, your seafood looks so real, brillant work !!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting news:
Kiva`s book! Congratulation!!
Please, let us know when and where we can buy that book. I want to have a copy too((-:
Oh you guys!!!! I would totally love it!! Scared shitless because I would be going alone, yes....but worth it?? Hell yeah!! N othing is concrete, so we shall see!
ReplyDeleteKristy buddy, that guinea pig of yours is BEYOND. The bangs on that little guy KILL ME. I am in love!
Listen Susan, if I do get to go, you are to hop on a plane (or boat??) and meet me there, because I won't know what the hell I'm doing!!! I don't speak a work of Chinese. Oh wait, maybe "dim sum". Also, it's something like a 14 hour flight. I need to ditch the Xanax and get ahold of some heroin, because that is INSANE.
Hey Ira, I am working on it, slowly but surely ;-). I made quite a bit today. I am saving the molding process for last!
ReplyDeleteWell Done That Girl!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have fingers and stuff crossed for you Kiddo! You may get to go to Hong Kong ... I have to settle for Toronto!! Somehow methinks you have the better deal!
Cheers,
Tom
¡Son hiperreales! ¡Vaya pesca has hecho! Los colores y la textura te han salido perfectos. Besos. Clara
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, how exciting! Kiva- sometimes the things that scare us the most are the experiences we remember for our entire lifetime :) I bet you would have the people in Hong Kong in love with you right away! Love your new food- I swear it's like going to a cooking blog when I visit instead of a miniature artist!
ReplyDeleteThat is totally exciting! I was going to Hong Kong but now I think that trip is cancelled. Long story short though. I am so happy for you! If you do go take lots of pics for me. I am jealous :X
ReplyDeleteP.S. I would love to get my hands on that book too!
*twirls round and round*
ReplyDeleteMAKE A DETOUR TO SINGAPORE! :P sounds soooo exciting!! *whips out pompoms for you*
You guys are so right- sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and do things that make you "uncomfortable". Oftentimes, it turns out to be MUCH scarier in your own mind then in real life. But hell, I might not even go, I don't know....this is still up in the air! What I DO know is that I WILL go to Singapore to visit you guys, sometime in the next year!!
ReplyDeleteHK is 3 hours flight time to Singapore, 3 days by boat but I heard its a more scenic route ;).
ReplyDeleteYAY YAY YAY! To you coming here next year! I insist you stay with me. Even if mum is coming. My mum also has spare rooms if sis is coming too :).
Molto brava, sei un mito anche in Italia
