Bunka

I have started another new hobby.
Bunka.

Example of a finished project.
Bunka shishu is a form of Japanese punch needle technique embroidery originating around the turn of the 20th century.Bunka artists use a specialized embroidery needle and originally silk threads to create very detailed pictures .Now the thread is rayon.
Here is my 8x10 canvas stretched tautly out on a frame.
I have filled in one cloud.My picture is called Lookout Point.
It is a beginner kit. Everything to start is in the kit with very detailed directions. Diane who is showing me the technique has won many awards for her work. Diane only took up doing this needlework in 2000.
I have now 3 new hobbies on the go. Card making, crocheknit and now bunka..
Think that is enough.
