a review of the "rules" of etegami
I've just finished translating the little pamphlet that comes with the Etegami starter kit , and though it doesn't say anything that...

I swear Debbie, it looks like embroidery French knots were used in these! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMargie, I painted the seeds with a metallic gansai that isn't really gansai, because it just sits on the surface of the card instead of sinking in. That gives it a sort of 3D effect that doesn't show very well in the scan. Your comparing it to French knots is a very perceptive observation.
DeleteI have enjoyed your blog for a long time, on several occasions wanting to comment but then pausing, for one reason or another. This time your etagami overwhelmed me. I recently departed Tokyo after 28 years as a happy-to-there gaijin and now live in Florida. I appreciate your work, your art and your cultural jewels. Only wish I could have met you while I was there.
ReplyDelete@Bleets, I certainly understand the momentum necessary to make that first comment on someone else's blog. And I appreciate your kind words very much. I hope your re-settlement in the US is progressing well. :)
DeleteHi, Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThey are symbols of Japanese autumn. But I did not know the character "薄." Oh... it captures susuki's nature very well. Thank you.
Kind regards, Sadami
Vraiment jolie cette serie!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I especially love the cattails, but really like all of your "departures". You have my sympathies for your friend moving away. I try to think of moments like that as expanding my universe and creating a new opening in my social sphere, but it's sad when we lose access to people we care about.
ReplyDeleteThis departures series is simply wonderful.
