I'm doing several "Japanese Inspiration" workshops this summer and next...
...and am trying to come up with as many possibilities as I can.
So...
...alongside the obvious "book" format...
...I've now started to work on some smaller pieces...
...to be wound around some wooden spools.
What fun!!
...and a bit tricky as the paper background is soooooooo narrow!!
This is where all those lovely polymer/rubber stamps come out of their folder...
(Inkylicious and Card-io this time)
I used my alphabet rubber stamps to put in a Basho Haiku about Cherry Blossom...
...and used the tiny Card-io "Oriental Blossom" polymer stamps to go with it.
...and I get to use the beautiful sheets of origami paper that have been in the drawer for a while :-o
The paper background was sprayed with Brusho....three pieces stitched together...
...and I also included a couple of pieces of fabric with Sashiko and Boro stitching.
I'm really happy with the result...
I think I am going to enjoy making some more of these!!
