Description This little Baby Koi is proof I've got kanzashi OCD. 
I've made this one on Chayatsuji Kimono 's owner, Youandi's request. I started it at 9 in the morning and it's 10 in the evening with just a few breaks to grab some food. 

I've made it with mostly 1.5cm pieces of silk, but as you can see some are bigger (on the fins and of course the water). It needs some work still. The base wasn't felt as I usually do, it wasn't find enough to cut the fish shape so I used thick card stock I'm going to seal with a couple of layers of gloss varnish. 

I still think it came out pretty nice 
Tried the waves for the first time and certainly, not the last!

Cudny karp, bardzo pdoba mi się, jak uformowałaś te pojedyncze łuski, nawet nieco wodnych roślin tu znalazło miejsce, śliczna praca C:

Dziękuję Trochę mi to zajęło, ale myślę, że warto skoro mogę usłyszeć tak miły komplement

Ja myślę, że zajęło, wygląda na bardzo pracochłonne! Ty to zszywasz notką czy jakoś specjalnie łączysz?

Nie, nic nie zszywam, używam specjalnego kleju ryżowego ^^

To całkowicie tradycyjna technika, żadnego szycia jak w USA mają to w zwyczaju

Wow, 9 in the morning until 10 at night, my goodness!  I think you might be right.

Tsumami takes a lot of time, but I think it was worth every minute!
