Here's a dragon uchikake I designed a while back. You see I'd had all this old green velvet in my possession that would have been perfect for it. I was going to make it into a beautiful outfit for the oiran cosplay I'm working on for Anime North 2008. My plan was to do something similar to kin-koma embroidery for the dragon. Basically I'd sew gold ribbons down to create the pattern, so you have to imagine that dragon embossed entirely in gold.
I actually started unpicking the fabric from its original state as drappery to prepare it for this kimono, but it was so unbelievably dusty that I actually developed bronchitis from working on it. It's been about 5 months and my lungs still aren't fully clear despite antibiotics and everything - so suffice it to say, I'm not touching that fabric with a ten foot pole now.
Awww, that's sad-this would've been an absolutely stunning design with green and gold! If I knew what to do with it I'd offer to help just to see it done. I'm sorry!
I love the design. It's too bad about the bronchitis though. I know how bad that can be. 5 months you've had it? Wow. You might want to check with your doctor to make sure it hasn't turned into pneumonia. Bronchitis has a tendancy to do that. Hope you get better.
Oh, and I have to say that a lot of your designs are even prettier than the ones I saw in Japan.
Aww, man, I am so sorry to hear that you developed bronchitis from working on it! D: Of course it's a shame this beautiful plan cannot be done right now on your beautiful green velvet, but I just hope you're alright now. That's the most important thing.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
