Hiogi 2.0
This is the hiogi I started more than a year ago. It's been sitting idle because I could not decide how I wanted to decorate it.
The new
detail sander was just the ticket - edges have been smoothed and evened out pretty nicely.
I re-laced the pivot joint with the steel beading wire and right now the sanded, laced fan is very carefully laid out downstairs. (I'll have to re-lace the top, but I'll do that after it's painted.
The trouble is, I STILL cannot decide what I want to paint on it. Version 1.0 had a pine tree on one side and the back never got finished. I wasn't wild about it.
The good news is that I've now seen a few examples of period hiogi that don't have painted backgrounds and much more naturalistic renderings of plants and trees on them.

EDIT. (OK, PICK SOMETHING ALREADY! This fan has had BIRTHDAYS!) White plum blossoms have been dabbed on one side. I'll do red plum blossoms on the other.
