The Pray for Japan art work

This will be the little work I’ll be sending to the Pray for Japan charity exhibition organised by Paumes (and hosted in The Netherlands by Martine).

I started out with a totally different idea, jumped to another, just to find myself waking up this morning feeling totally dissatisfied with the final result. In the end, I made this drawing which I dare to sent to such a large and ambitious exhibition for such an important cause.

Especially the delicate faces of Kokeshi are very hard to capture on paper or fabric, that’s why I’ve drawn a lot of studies for the felt Kokeshi I made a couple of months ago. Those studies inpired me to draw this little lady. What can I say? Please join!
