Australian Immigrants Stories

#sadamikonchi #nカルオンライン永山裕子コップあれこれ The assignment. Created a narrative story by the image of flowers in a glass cup. My theme is the #immigrants' lives in #Australia. (*a fiction story)

"Grandpa and Nana's #plum #apricot."
I was born in Sydney. My grandparents' country had apricots. So, they planted it in their garden. Grandpa and Nana had a very tough time in English and worked so hard. Every spring, the plum tree bloomed out beautiful and pretty blossoms and gave us lovely fruits, which comforted them. When I look at a plum tree, I always think of my grandparents and their language and food.  Today, I've become a social worker to help anyone and advocate the disadvantaged. #a3 #watercolour
課題:ガラスのコップに生けられた花をイメージして、物語を創作すること。私のテーマは、オーストラリアにおける移民の生活です。(※フィクションの物語)
"おじいちゃんとおばあちゃんの家の梅の木"
私はシドニーで生まれましたが、祖父母の故郷には梅の木がありました。それ を 懷かしんで, 二人は梅を庭に植えたのです。言葉の壁に苦労しながらも、懸命に働いた二人。毎年春になると、その木は美しく愛らしい花を咲かせ、素敵な実を実らせて二人を慰め, 癒やしてくれました。ですから、梅の木を見るたびに、私はいつも祖父母のこと、そして彼らの言葉や食べ物を思い出すのです。現在、私はソーシャルワーカーとして、あらゆる人々、社会的に弱い立場にある人々を支援する仕事をしています。

初めてこの安い紙🤑💵で書いたので 修羅場になりました🤣 全然 滲まない🤪😵‍💫⁉️ でも経験かと思い 最後までやり抜きました. 赤い梅の花は 私たちのアパートの ところに 植わっており 私の アイデア になり それを 発展させお話として膨らませました. 女性のスケッチは 以前のものから 雰囲気が素敵だったので選びました. 私がここに書いた ようなお話は ごくごくありふれております. 移民の2世 3世の人たち, 弁護士, お医者さん, その他, 人に尽くす お仕事をたくさんしています💖🤓✊️💝.

Writing Stories for Picture Books

Friends, another good news, I've started writing down stories!  
I have been strongly encouraged to write picture book stories and to illustrate them by my own for these years -- special thanks for my mentor Ann James and big names in publishing industry. Although a bit shy Sadami was prudent, I finally felt the encouragement as a wonderful opportunity! Yes, writing stories is quite a fun. Also, thank you for warm cheers, support, visits for my blog and great patience for a new post! 
Actually, I've been enjoying writing stories since childhood (and kept it secret with diaries like other girls do). Yes, young Sadami loved to imagine characters and created tales. Now, a dream is  becoming true. You'll certainly find "author and illustrator Sadami Konchi" printed on picture books in the future. NOTE: It will take years to come up in publishing industry. So, please look forward to it without a time frame.
Now, the ongoing picture book illustration is going steadily. The stage of a "full set of roughs for the whole book." I'm enjoying working on the all roughs, even though it's not easy and quite demanding. I'll organise the storyboard again. Challenging, but these labour pains are so lovely.
A dear linguist friend will visit me for tea before going back to a field work in overseas. We will enjoy chatting over nudges for my writing stories. She and I both love readings and writing. Oh, tea will be a great fun!

These picture book related project occupy me 


These picture book related projects occupy me more and more. I'm also working on portraits. Weekly Monday posting is very hard and please forgive me. I'll upload a post from time to time. But I'll certainly visit your blogs between projects!
Friends, Happy Painting and Writing!  

My favorite say is, "Dream is unrealised reality." 


Let us make dreams come true.
