Here's another "twirl" for you. Although I'd forgotten where I found the quote, Alison tells me it comes from the poem Samara by Sonny Rainshine. Thank you Alison!!
Another beauty! The treasure you just sent me is the first thing I put on my fabric board along with the back of your business card which is gorgeous. They look lovely together. Will be posting pictures of the board at some point. Margie
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.

ReplyDeleteVery sweet! I remember those things. I think we called them whirligigs, to throw up in the air so they could helicopter down. :)
