The lettering is Dzongkha. The recipient is Bhutanese. I can't read it myself but I am led to understand it means to be fearless. Culturally, the golden koi symbolises being free from harm and the dangers of life.

Thanks. Colours are Eco-Flo from Tandy. It's kinda like painting with watercolours.

Greetings to you all. I just finished my last Christmas gift for 2017, a large Moleskine cover. First time using coloured dyes on a production piece but it turned out quite good. I rushed the antique at the end so it got a bit messy in places. Next time I think I'll use stronger colours. Hope you like it.

Inspirational, thanks for sharing.
