Serene seaside scenery for this antique kimono, showing gulls flying over aboshi (drying fishnets, propped up with a pole), with nadeshiko (fringed pinks) in the foreground.

Background has scattered seigaiha (ancient pattern symbolizing waves).

This is a mug I threw and trimmed on the wheel, attached a handle, and slip trailed on an abstract pattern that looks a bit like the modern day wifi symbol. It’s an abstraction used to represent mountains or waves on east asian paintings. 

My etsy pottery shop is at: http://etsy.com/shop/skimlines and it will open 7/14/2022. The first trip to the post office will be on Tuesday (7/19/2022).

New character!

Her name is Paluulula and she's a water dragon with a see-through torso! Also has gold bones as per a suggestion of a friend. I included one of my favourite typical Japanese fabric patterns in my own variant, the seigaiha (blue ocean waves) is such a pretty pattern. She was inspired by many different aquatic animals, including frogs, electric eels, sea dragons, and general fish.

She's very friendly and a bit playful! But be careful, she may be a bit shocking! (electric)

Please enjoy. Feel free to ask questions about her if you wish! It'd help me build her character better.
