where is spring?

We're still buried under snow and it's not likely to go away for at least another month. But spring has come to the grocery stores. A friend came calling a few days ago, bringing strawberries. It was a lovely visit. And the strawberries smelled like spring.

    Mmmm. your lovely etegami berries say "spring," regardless of the weather! Sending you some "virtual" sunshine from so. California! :o)

    Yikes, I didn't think you would be out from under all that snow yet. Sigh. Thank goodness for the timely arrival of the strawberries!

    lovely etegami and I love the scent of strawberries, but it's a while before we'll get Scottish strawberries....

    You have set American artists on fire with your etegami spark! I practiced sumi-e for years. I never mastered it, but I want to learn etegami the proper way. Learning on my own is fun but being part of a community has to be better. Thank you for awakening my interest.

    I am practicing. I know that I like it enough to be addicted to want a stamp with my name. Any recommendations on how to find a calligrapher?

    Thanks.

      Limner, thank you for your comment. Sumi-e is something you seek to master, Etegami is not. That's the whole point of etegami. You do not want to find a calligrapher, and you do not want to master calligraphy for the purpose of doing etegami. All of that will ruin the spontaneity of Etegami. Etegami should have the fresh awkwardness of a beginner, even after you are no longer a beginner. Does this make sense to you at all? Would you like to sign up for the newsletter that I try to put out once a month? If so, please send your name and email address to dosankodebbie at yahoo dot co dot jp
