Chirimen Craft (Child Angling on a Bamboo Leaf Boat)

Thank you for viewing.

I made a child riding a bamboo boat and fishing.
The child who caught a fish is beaming with a smile. The child who thought they caught a big one but actually caught seaweed has their eyes wide open. (*^^*)
Even though the boat, fishing rod, and kimono are all magnificent...
This is a piece that will make you chuckle. (^^)

The bamboo boat is made by layering two pieces of chirimen fabric.
To ensure it can be displayed stably, I have attached thick paper wrapped in chirimen fabric.

The child is of the type that can hold something in their hands, and I used a regular bamboo for the fishing rod with a fish, and black bamboo for the fishing rod with seaweed.

Child size = Approx. 5 cm wide x 5.5 cm high
Boat size = Approx. 13.5 cm wide x 4 cm high
Fishing rod length = Approx. 12 cm

Materials = Chirimen fabric, silk fabric, synthetic cotton, synthetic thread, embroidery thread, thick paper, bamboo, glue, fishing line, a tiny bit of blush for the cheeks.

With Tanabata season approaching, how about a child on a bamboo boat?

? Chirimen fabric shrinks when wet. Please be careful of water.
