Clione Limacina! Seeing it for the first time and it's quite an alluring mysterious beautiful creature! Thanks. and your work is zen beautiful as usual.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio...... I Googled them, unbelievable! So delicate yet so strong to live under the ice, no wonder they make such a beautiful etegami.
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.
I never think of faeries as being beneath ice--and your illustration is very evocative of a chilly, mysterious environment. Very well done!!
