It took me a sec, but I finally figured out what you are asking. No, it's not too late! Deadline for comments to enter the drawing is Feb 3. I'll count this comment towards the last post. :)
The fish image reminds me of my father, deceased for 13 years now. He loved to fish. He'd wake us up before dawn during hot summers and take us to the lake (Lake Michigan - a huge lake) where he'd fish and we kids and our mother would sit on a blanket (or sleep) and enjoy the cool air. I like this etegami very much.
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.
Aw,I love everything about this one Debbie!
