Nengajo party

Today was the Creative Perspectives get -together. We spent our afternoon making nengajo, Japanese holiday cards.

Jo is carving her first-ever stamp. She’s going to use it on the beautiful marbled paper she made today.

Bob spent most of the day sketching monkeys. His final product is a print block with a lot of character.
Greg brought lots of art toys and Jo took charge of dinner–a completely scrumptious polenta pizza! Tod was the kanji-master (of course) and I sketched variations on a theme until I got the design I wanted. If I have your address, you’ll get a copy. If not, send me your address.
