While waiting to hear on the earrings, I'm going to start the 14th Basho piece this afternoon. I have the fabric chosen and a few images. This particular stop had tons of images, ferries crossing rivers, halo moons, lonely temples and tombs, paper carp, palaces, ruined gates and the Yakushi Buddha, which is the healing Buddha.....I think I'm going with the halo moon, carp and the Buddha, but we'll see how the piece progresses. As you all know (if you do beadwork), the pieces often tell you what they need, if you listen/look.
I chose the carp especially as it represents courage, perseverence and strength in Japan...
