A few snippets in time documenting the progress on Joe's sleeve from adding to an older part at the wrist all the way to the tidy-up and finish. I really enjoy work like this, making one big coherent piece that flows with the body.

First time that I have them ready before the new year!

Time to pound the flour to make into lucky mochi cakes.
Finally back into it for @roosingkarl, we started this journey with the dragon koi about 7-8years ago, the daruma side panel was added 4 years or so. Now finishing the colouring on Kanon bosatsu. It's a journey, enjoy!
