At the moment, I'm in love with the flowing water/mist motif. Since it's often paired with maple leaves (something I learned from the book), I decided to combine them for my deco cover. The cover is water colour paper painted cerulean blue. The running water motif is cut from echizen. The maple leaves are cut from chiyogami. I had initially hoped to cut them from maple-leaf print chiyo for a meta feel but we only had two and on of them is in greys. I went for botanicals instead with the addition of one auspicious symbol print. At least I think that it's an auspicious symbol pattern.
I think that I'll make a similar one for myself for a Japan deco swap that's coming up at the Circus. There are some designs I hit upon and I just want to churn them out until one of them comes home. Is that bad?
Oh, and I think that I'm officially addicted to Japanese design. It just took a bit of research. Figures. I'm an academic to the bones.
