I painted a series of cards inspired by a post from the North East Ohio Garden blogger, of a day lily called talon + eggplant ecstasy (for the inspiration see here Seasonal Contradiction). I forgot of course that etegami isn’t exactly a precise instrument, especially for a curvy, boldly-colored flower like this one. Bold colors are hard to bring to life in etegami as gansai colors are rather soft, and sumi ink is heavy.
After I made peace with this imprecision, I rather like the results. I have my favorite. Let me know your favorite, by taking this poll, or commenting below
