Ooooohhhh! I love the calligraphy. I just left a comment on a blog where I wrote "holy crap!" and then here you are. Debbie, I love everything that you do. I sound like a broken record but I do!
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.
Oh, that's awesome! And I love Nash's poems too :)
