I'm writing a comic series based around the life of a young girl in her journey as she tries to reach her dream of becoming an artist in the world of Geiko (Geisha in Kyoto). I'm trying to keep it as accurate as I possibly can, down to the motifs for the kimono and the Kanzashi along with their responsibilities and the different relationships between the people who live and work in the hanamachi. I'm hoping to see her transform from a nervous little girl into a confident young woman. I hope you enjoy her journey through life as much as I'm enjoying writing and drawing it out ^^

I swear I've been favoriting an unhealthy amount of Jack Frost lately, I swear I'm not a Frost creeper, I love the character and I want to draw a picture of him, I'm just collecting references XD But my picture isn't turning out very good... Oh well.. just keep practicing I suppose.

Any other suggestions you might have, like maybe a particular obi knot, I'd love to hear! I really appreciate your suggestions though, learning rocks! 8)
Any other suggestions you might have, like maybe a particular obi knot, I'd love to hear! I really appreciate your suggestions though, learning rocks! 8)Hello darling! The type of knot you can make completely and totally depends on the length, stiffness, and thickness of the obi you use. The knots that are worn with furisode are often so complicated, they take a lot of skill to get it right. They most likely will require the assistance of another to accomplish it and make it look right. ^^ More complicated knots require extra obijime to keep it all together. ^^ Sometimes you can find tutorials for more simple knots, like box knots, butterfly knots, so on and so forth, however the complicated knots may be harder to find tutorials for. ^^ I'll help in whatever way I can though, to help you make your beautiful ensemble ^^
Thank you! It's going to take me a few months, but it's great to have someone who knows a lot about furisodes havin' my back ^w^ Hopefully I can make you proud, hehee
Yeah sure, like I said, any way I can help, I would be happy to ^^Lol and if you ever want to sell it for whatever reason, you have someone who would be happy to buy it (Though I don't see you wanting to give such a lovely kimono up ^^) I actually learned most of what I know about kimono from studying Geisha and Maiko ^^
