It's a Kite!
The Drachen Foundation sent this photo of the "Blessings Kite" print I sent them for their moku hanga kite competition, now beautifully sparred by kite artist Scott Skinner (check out his great web site, including his collaboration with artist Leslie Dill). All the kites are now on their way to Kyoto, Japan, where they will be shown at the 6th KIWA Exhibition March 29 - April 3 and then at the Mokuhanga Conference, June 7 - 12.
It feels so good to be able to send my blessings to Japan in the form of a kite right now. Ganbare Japan!

Gorgeous Annie!
Beautiful! the indigo colour is just perfect. I'd love to see all the kites flying together.

I love this image. Excellent work. I also like the yellow you left in the outer corners. Very nice work. I now need to make a kite. People have lost the tradition here in China, even though it is still very popular to fly them.
Love it sparred.
