My favourite pen collector!

Shungo who collects pens as his other hobby has perfected a style which carries all the energy that he puts into his work. The flowing script contrasts nicely with the jerky, restless lines of the image, another beauty!
Thanks Shungo.

Splat!

Tatuaki's autumn leaf card is made using a spatter technique, it is very lovely and delicate and the pink is one of the more subdued tints of the season but very effective.

A second card is of a lemon coloured fruit, delightfully simple and reflecting the reductive nature of etegami when practised by a great proficient.

Thank you Tatuaki!

Is it Autumn up there?

Rhetorical question, of course it is, else, why would I be the happy recipient of so may autumn themed cards!
This one from Matt in San Francisco, yes I even love SF when it's foggy (is it ever not foggy?). Matt has sealed his card with his charming signature bicycle stamp but I really would rather he made a stamp of himself riding the bike in his kilt!

Thanks Matt.

Mmmm Chocolate.

From Lisa in West Australia comes this traditional etegami illustrating a memory from her childhood.  Lisa's late Grandmother was very fond of this chocolate (Bertie Beetle) and Lisa found it in a showbag at the local agricultural show so she bought it in memory of her gran.

Thank you Lisa.

The balloon goes up!

This cheerful circular etegami from Fumiko is ready to hang, and I shall put it on my wall immediately.
Done on recycled card it is just the thing to brighten up  my house as well as demonstrating that what constitutes an etegami can be quite flexible while still giving a nod to the rules.

Thank you Fumiko.

Arigatou Tohru.

A first exchange from Tohru from Kirishima city Japan. Tohru is a very prolific etegami maker, always something from him on the Etegami Fun Club page on Facebook.

Thank you Tohru, happy to have a new friend in the etegami world.

Merci Corinne.

Merci Corinne, thank you for the pumpkin, just in time for Halloween!

Lovely subtle colours.
