Kimono Nearly Complete...

Well... The summer came and went, packed full of activities. The exhibition was a huge success. We had a fantastic week in Spain, enjoying the sunshine, atmosphere and amazing food. The latter part of August consisted of a wedding, preparation for school and finally I got some time to continue the kimono.

I worked on the cherry blossom fan design before embarking on a subtle gradient for the background. Just a couple of small areas to complete including the embroidery in the bottom lefthand corner. I will update the photo of the final piece shortly.

Detail of cherry blossom design on the fan:

Background gradient of subtle blue and lilac.
I decided to paint it covering the edges of the canvas too.
