Expressions to honor and beautify your world: with hand made Japanese silk brocade scrolls

For decades I have been captivated by the beauty and artistic depth of Japanese ideograms (a picture or symbol used in a system of writing to represent a thing or an idea). 


Over the past several years I have been offering Zen Brush calligraphy retreats throughout the region.


I have now been illustrating these ideograms on beautiful hand made Japanese silk brocade scrolls.


Here are some examples of what these beautiful scrolls look like.


Harmony




God
         Love                                          














       
       Peace                            















      Patience



These could make beautiful gifts for the holidays, birthdays, weddings, births/baptisms, engagements, or even for yourself. The cost per scroll is $45 plus shipping.

Here are some other ideograms that can be ordered:
