Ayumi Horie's Match Strikers

Ayumi Horie's new match strikers are so cute I think my head might explode. They're everything I like about her work - the hand-and-tool marked earthenware, the simple drawings, the bits and spots of color - all wrapped up into a compact, unusual object.

Watch one in action (if you're reading this on our homepage, click through on the headline to see the video - you don't want to miss it):

 

Horie, by the way, is one of the co-organizers of Handmade for Japan, an online auction (which took place March 24-27) and ongoing fundraising effort - especially critical as the media's short attention span shifts elsewhere. The group initially hoped to raise $25,000. Horie reports: They just topped $90,000.

 

Can't get enough craft? Neither can we. Heck Yes Craft is a series of visual blog posts with a simple mission: to show off amazing work. Come back every Friday for more.

Love Horie-sans work and would like to know were I can see and purchase it here in Japan. Sorry heard nothing about Handmade for Japan.
