Victory Over Self

 

This calligraphy reads that One who attains Victory over Oneself is Greater than Gaining Victory over 10,000 enemies. Self Mastery and continual improvement of oneself makes us feel better about ourselves and improves our self esteem. When we practice a skill, or improve daily then we are gaining mastery over ourselves. 

This scroll is made in the Sandan Hyougu format. It has a deep gold karakusa for the Ichimonji, a dark gold Chumawashi donsu cloth and a cotton khaki ten/chi.

Sitting Girl

This is also by artist Patricia Gustafson. This was the largest of her three paintings. I chose to do this in the Fukuro Hyougu format, with the three suji insert into the frame. I felt this simple style would help to accentuate the paintings subject matter. What do you think? Do you like this?

Strong Like Summer Clouds

 

夏雲多奇峰 These are the characters on this scroll. It reads Kaun Kihou Ooshi, with a literal meaning of Strong Like Summer Clouds. I had a person take my scroll making class at an American Bonsai Society convention in Kentucky. He was never able to complete the scroll and asked me to do it for him. This will be a good scroll to display with his various conifer trees. I love the dark Rust/Brown color of this cloth. It was completed with an ebony jikusaki to slightly offset the color of the scroll, but still pair well with the many unglazed pots typically used for Evergreen Bonsai. If you would also be interested in having a scroll made, go to our website www.customjapanesecalligraphy.com email to sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com or call or text to 801-214-4064.

Woman Portrait

 

This is the second scroll of a woman painted by Patricia Gustafson. This scroll was also made with a donsu (silk) cloth. It has a light gray background with a very small flower arabesque pattern. I felt this cloth being very muted would go well with the various shades of gray and black in the painting. It was completed in the Maru Hyougu style with a Deep Gold arabesque kinran border on the top and the bottom. If you would like your own painting framed into a wallscroll, or a custom piece done for you, please visit www.customjapanesecalligraphy.com or email to sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com or call or text to 801-214-4064.

Tapestry Frame for Bonsai Artist

 

This Tapestry Frame was purchased by a bonsai artist. (Yes the photo is at an angle, but it hangs straight)....but The nice thing about the Tapestry Frame is that it allows the user to change the photograph easily, so they can display their bonsai with various seasonal or environmental themes allowing flexibility for the displayer to use the same tree but not have the same display constantly. This is pictured without the photograph installed. Also, you are not limited to the cloths we offer. You can provide us any 100% Cotton and most silk cloths for us to make a beautiful frame to hang in your home or office. If you would like to order your own tapestry frame you can order directly at our shop at www.tapestryframe.com or email to info@tapestryframe.com You can also call or text to 801-214-4064.

Sumie of Man Sitting

 


This is by Artist Patricia Gustafson. She requested that I use her name in the blog posts. This is the link to her facebook https://www.facebook.com/patricia.gustafson.77 This picture did not turn out well, so apologies in advance. This scroll was done in the Maru Hyougu format. It features a brown and gold ichimonji border, with a green/yellow wicker pattern cloth. It is a donsu fabric (silk). The reason I selected this cloth was the small pattern and green would be a strong complement to the bold red color in the painting. If you would like a custom kakejiku made please contact to me at sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com or info@tapestryframe.com We are also available by phone or text to 8012144064.
