Description Haru
Spring

I'm working on a series of bookmarks to be sold with my hair ornaments at Anime North. Originally I was planning to make one bookmark for each month of the year, unfortunately I know that I don't have the time to finish that many. So, I'm making one for each of the four seasons.

This one here is Spring and it features a junior maiko dancing with a parasol. Her outfit mostly features sakura (an early spring motif), but there's also a touch of wysteria (a late spring motif) to give the outfit the full spring range. Originally I was gonna have some daffodils on her kimono as well, but the design worked better without them.

Natsu (Summer)...................................... coming soon
Aki (Autumn)........................................... coming soon
Fuyu (Winter).......................................... coming soon

This is so beautiful! It'd actually be a shame to sue these bookmarks.. I wouldn't want to hide them under the pages, I'd prefer everybody to see these beauties! And the style you used.. It's just so very traditional Japanese looking. Gotta love it, it's just.. beautiful. From all aspects, truly magnificent bookmark. I can't wait to see the Autumn version. I love Autumn, all its colors, gracefulnes in the dying leaves and the refreshing breeze. Just can't wait to see how you render the season on one of these bookmarks!
