A SORT-OF KIMONO


While I was waiting for Mere to arrive, I started making thank-you gifts to give to people who helped me organize and start the Giveaway. I am making this for Nora for sending me wonderful emails that have kept my spirits up, and made me realize that even if I still haven't figured out why I am doing this, it has meaning to others and reminds me once again of the healing power of Art.
While I was working on the easy-to-get-in-and-out-of version, I was actually picturing a gloriously long, embellished version. So Nora and I have decided to do this: I will send her the unfinished short kimono for her to decorate and wear, then I will do a fantasy version with the very loooonnnng one, being inspired I am sure by the colors she uses, the things she does. I am hoping it will be something that will make you close your eyes, smile, and imagine floating through a perfect world where there is no pain.

Absolutely a lovely design;
simple pattern reflects a peaceful state of mind; colors are cool yet calming. I like this artist!
