I completed my pages for the latest book I received in my current round robin.
The original drawings from the book were hand-painted by me with watercolor crayons. The chopsticks were shorten by breaking then shaping them in a pencil sharpener before a slight bit of whittling and sanding.
The bamboo was drawn then painted by yours truly. The fortune reads “The luck that is ordained for you will be coveted by others”
I’ve never done any Asian themed art before…at least not consciously. I did do a mixed-media painting a while back that ended up having an Asian flare.
I finally figured out how to leave a comment, Halle. I have to be logged into blogger and then it’s easy.
Your Asian pages are great, great, great, especially for the first time. You did super with them.
