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.
These are great as well.
ReplyDeleteSure you will come up with something else again. Or wait till you have sumi ink again.
These are lovely and I'm always a great believer in improvisation!
ReplyDeleteAny good reason for more art supplies! These are beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI love them! Especially the one with green pepper. Beautiful green.
