SJL Report post Posted December 18, 2017 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
