I try to make a new etegami each week for IF, but when I saw what this week's topic was, I thought of this one I drew as a birthday card for a soccer-loving young friend of mine. The quote refers to the worthiest race I know.
Deborah your etegami are just fantastic! thanks for visit my place, leave a comment.. that's why i know your little place, since now if you permit me i will follow you.
Etegami (e= "picture"; tegami= "letter/message") are simple drawings accompanied by a few apt words. They are usually done on postcards so that they can be easily mailed off to one's friends. Though etegami has few hard-and-fast rules, traditional tools and materials include writing brushes, sumi ink, blocks of water-soluble, mineral-based pigments called gansai, and washi postcards that have varying degrees of "bleed." They often depict some ordinary item from everyday life, especially items that bring a particular season to mind.
Heisann! What a nice card to have ;:OD)
