Jacki, thanks so much for dropping by and for leaving your kind comment. You have some striking artwork on your google profile! I love your use of color. :)
Great etegami ! Funny : in our calligraphy-course, when we 'complain' that our letters don't look they way they should, our teacher says : "Always blame your tools!".
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 really love your drawings , the lightness and the joy.
