Remember the tea field photo and art contest I urged you to submit to a couple months back? Well, the results came out today. The winning entry was one of mine. Yup. Now don't you wish you had submitted something? It was fun.
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.
Congratulations,your other entries were great too.

Woot! Super congratulations Debbie! I'm curious as to the other entries, although I'm sure your win was smooth. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the encouraging words. I don't take contests too seriously. I use them to stimulate myself to draw more, and to have fun.
