Thank you Rey, I love koi and Ryukin Goldfish and have been wanting to do a hood like this for years I thought to keep with the japanese theme why not the Geisha.

Incredible work, Ken!

I can only dream to be half as creative one day.

Thank you very much Laj. Unfortunately, although pleased with the artwork, I was not pleased with the shape of the hood and have to do a re-do ."Koi" Meets "Girl" is in the dumpbin on the way to the local landfill.

That is funny, cept I took out some of my frustrations first and cut the damn thing up I spent about 15 hours on that hood, AHHHHHHH!!

[mainefalconer]

Just got this hood in the mail, and I'm thrilled with it! I had to share. I was one of those folks who was also wanting to "STOP that garbage truck" and Ken and I got to chatting about it, and this is what he churned up;

As I said to Ken, the irony that he was making this hood while Japan was in turmoil, was not wasted on me.

Thank you Scott, that was an awful tragedy and still is.. WOW great photos,, I got to get me a better camera!!

[sakerjack]

Here are some more photos of the hood.

I have to brace myself every time I look at one of Ken's masterpiece. It blows my mind trying to figure out how it was dyed. *head explodes*

[sakerjack]

Just finished my second Painted Wodan,, "Under the Sea", continued the fish theme..

[Heatherg]

That is SOOOOO awesome Ken!!!

[sakerjack]

That is SOOOOO awesome Ken!!!

Thank you Heather, inspired by a Duff shirt!!

[Heatherg]

go figure!!!!

[sakerjack]

go figure!!!!

LMAO,, yup guess you kinda figured that one out HUH?

[Heatherg]

[Heatherg]

Hey just a thought......have you ever done a hood with a setter or pointer on it????

[sakerjack]

Not yet,, the only animals so far have been fish and birds, both inside and outside the hood. Dog breeds would look good especially pointing with a falcon overhead or Harris in a tree..
OR Heather how about this? One with a noose around Duffy's neck for all the practical jokes,, in fact I am going to do one for him!!

[Heatherg]

ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!!!!!!! Duffy's is a must!

As always Ken, two thumbs up! The Wodan is my favorite of your patterns.

Thank you very much AK,, I really like the fit and style of the Wodan but it is not my fav hood to sew.

Thank you Laj, I don't think I ever responded to this post and am sorry, how are you making out with the Tar Heel Blue?

Ken, I have not made a single hood since. I've been busy with a small project around the house and making a few giant hoods. But thanks for the reminder, I think it is time to clear the table for some dyes and leather again.

And to folks who doesn't know how helpful Ken is. I have a question for Ken on how to achieve a certain shade of color. The man went down stair, mix up 3 different shade of light blue, snap some pictures and gave me some ideas to play with. Thanks again Ken!

Again I thank you. Laj, you make a real nice hood and it would be a shame if you stopped. Don't you miss the aroma of leather , glue and dyes? LOL
