This amuses me, maybe especially because I dumped a package of turnip seeds in my garden and it looks like I'm going to have a bumper crop of them this year -- even though I'm really not into turnips :)
im still working on the puns :) I seem to be a bit slow to catch on so they make me feel a little dull in the brain. PS I know what you mean about not waiting to open mail art... it does seem to stretch out the enjoyment though
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.

Oh, gosh. I had to crane my neck. I didn't get it until I read it upright. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love turnips. With turnips greens only though.
Laughing again. I really must get a friend or two.
