Sariochan Arts

Fleur has the right idea! I’m dragging today. I had a wonderful time @coanimefest this weekend! Thank you to all who stopped by my table. I appreciated you all. It was wonderful seeing and catching up with friends as well. You are all such amazing people! Sorry I didn’t get to say hi to everyone though. Hope to see you all next year! 😊 . . . #sariochanarts #coloradoanimefest #coloradoanimefest2023 #artistalley #anime (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpwBBeLLlgP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We’re incredibly proud of Mira and her peers today! We have 3 new Kukkiwon certified 1st degree black belts! They worked incredibly hard today. They started with a mile jog to the dojang. Then they had time for lunch and about an hour to write their essays. They moved on to do all their WT forms as a group and some solo forms of their Master’s choice. That was followed by upper level kick techniques picked by each instructor (video was too long to post 😅). They also had to learn a new form in 40 minutes and demonstrate the new (ITF ) form. Sparring was after this. A few matches with various instructors and then they moved to pressed sparring and then to 2 on 1 sparring. (I think sparring was hardest for all of them.) After sparring was a 25-30 minute workout. They finished testing with board breaking. They had to do a break with each arm and each leg. Mira decided to do a couple speed breaks. They all finished with a power break. They were presented with their new embroidered belts with their 1st stripe and were gifted beautiful new uniforms. The official Kukkiwon certificate and ID will come in later from South Korea. Whew! We’re all so proud of them! They’ve worked so hard. We had a fabulous dinner with all the instructors and it was fun to watch the kiddos be tired and giddy while they got their own table to sit at at the restaurant. Their instructors are so proud and happy for them. Now they get to help teach classes! Mira is excited! I have a feeling we will be spending even more time at the dojang in the future. 💖🎉🎊 . . . #taekwondo #kukkiwon #taekwondotestingday #martialarts #martialartsgirls #blackbelt #firstpoomblackbelt #worldtaekwondo (at RedLine Athletics Longmont) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpHV0x6OHMS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all you wonderful people! Much love and hugs! Hope you’re all happy and cozy. On Christmas Eve at my in-laws this year, kidlette helped fold shumai and did a fab job! 😁💙🎉 I forgot to take a pic of a frosted cinnamon roll that I made for late lunch today. Really there’s been so much food these past few days. Food coma! 💖 . . . #christmas #christmaseve #shumai #cinnamonrolls #family #friends #christmasdecor (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmm-uk0v-Ag/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Inktober Day 10: Light! Quick sketch of my Super Junior light stick! For those that don’t know, Super Junior (and all their sub-units) is hands down my favorite K-pop boy group. It’s been this way since 2005. Excited to see them @kampfestivals this coming weekend! I am still hoping that Super Show 9 makes it the US and we can go! Kidlette is coming with me to KAMP LA and this will be her first concert. 😜 . . . #sariochanarts #inktober #inktober2022 #light #lightstick #superjunior #슈퍼주니어 #everlastingfriends #kpop #kampla2022 (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjkCsctuzd8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Inktober Day 8: Art! Art is such a huge word. It can be anything and it is everything. I decided to do a quick sketch of some of the things I use for my art. ☺️ . . . #sariochanarts #inktober #inktober2022 #art #quicksketch #arttools (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cje4ZiwuAVv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Inktober Day 7: School! Quick sketch of…shenanigans at a boys school? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I had a jumble of random thoughts for the prompt and this is what my brain pieced together. . . . #sariochanarts #inktober #inktober2022 #school #anime #schoolboys #quicksketch (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjcb_pSuvyp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Inktober Day 6: Trees! Quick sketch of aspen trees. I was playing with various gold pens too. They are very different from one another. One decided to just give me red and left out the gold part and one looks green. 😂 . . . #sariochanarts #inktober #inktober2022 #trees #aspen #apsentrees #quicksketch (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjZwHRHOTDG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s been a bad headache sort of day. 😑) . . . #sariochanarts #inktober #inktober2022 #spider #blackwidow #quicksketch (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjXJQHmu3sZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
