WIPW - Taking Shape?

Work In Progress Wednesday from a chilly Tokyo.

Progress on my

Mola

is getting visible as the Mola style begins to take shape.
Red has a lot to do with it, I think!


Mola - Snippets of Interest

Typical Mola colours such as burgundy, orange or black are referring to the vegetable colours used for the body painting of the past.

    It's a fascinating style, isn't it. But so painstaking.

      Black as a base or background fabric is good to set off almost any other colour. In this Mola I used two pieces of red fabric, one is far more brighter than the other so it stands out.

    All the red you've added makes such a difference! Quite illuminating! Looking really dazzling!

      Some Mola are like neon signs in the dark. Maybe the bright red is a bit too illuminating, I will have to add some other 'neon' colours.

      Yes, finally it is coming 'alive'. It was so dull before.

    Your mola is developing so wonderfully! It looks like you've got it down pat now! I got out my book and was wondering if I could start something again but it seems to take so much brain power.

      I don't feel the least tempted to do another one, but I will admire the perfection of Fumiko Nakayama's molas even more.

    Mola is standing up to be admired already. I think the red balances the bright yellow/green and blues. Can't wait to see more tones arriving.

      A bit of red on black makes a lot of difference!

      Thank you. Not a lot of progress recently, I'm afraid.

      Yes, without the red this Mola would be so bland.
