This Piece is on Fire

Painting by Carol Brown

Just finishing up the final touches on my husband's kimono for his birthday today.  I couldn't wait and gave it to him early, but still had to put a loop at the back for hanging it up and some belt loops.  It looks awesome on him and he loves it.

It has a traditional blue Japanese pattern, but then all of a sudden it starts shooting out these huge stylized blue flames from the bottom of the robe and the sleeves.  Too funny. I knew I had been saving that material for something special!
