I am fascinated by Japanese garments and the design made from combining patterns and folds of fabric. The folds in the upper portion of the design are from an outer kimono that is sometimes worn hanging from the waist as the arms aren't in the sleeves. It adds a richness to the overall design. <br /><br />This is done in graphite and is one of a series of drawings of this figure. I choose parts of the whole so as to get an appreciation of the detail involved in Japanese clothing ensembles.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4445/1928/1600/WIPOBI4.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4445/1928/320/WIPOBI4.jpg" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19477884-113342522149248576?l=dianapottsart.blogspot.com'/></div>Diana Mae Pottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04150951693282156537diana.potts@gmail.com1
