Everyone, whether you're getting the newsletter or not, is welcome to submit to a Snake-themed etegami call in celebration of 2013, the Year of the Snake (Oriental zodiac). Submissions will be posted in the January newsletter, which is scheduled to come out in mid-December. Here are the details of the call:
Etegami Call:
Rules: Your submission must be hand- drawn on a 10 cm x 15 cm (4”x 6”) postcard. The subject should be one or more snakes on a plain, unpainted background. No digital art or photographs this time around, but other than that, use whatever technique you choose. The image on the card must be accompanied by a few words to qualify as etegami. Avoid the stereotypical New Years greeting if you can, but if you can't, that is all right too.
Send it in an envelope to: Dosankodebbie, Hiragishi 2-11-1-22, Toyohira-ku, Sapporo 062-0932 JAPAN. Submissions much reach me by December 1 if you want to be sure they'll get into the January newsletter. Images and words must be G-rated. Submissions can not be returned. I REALLY look forward to seeing what you come up with. :D

"but other than that, use whatever technique you choose."
ReplyDeletePlease pardon me for sounding dense but I thought etegami is the way you do it with watercolor. You mean I can do it with pen and ink?
If so, I would like to try. Thanks.
Ces, for this challenge you don't have to use the traditional sumi ink or gansai watercolors. Pen and ink is perfectly fine. I hope you give it a try. Anything you do would be a wonderful addition to the display.
