About this design

What the design shows

A woman turns her head over one shoulder, looking toward the viewer with red lips and dark eyeliner. Her black hair is arranged in a high bun crossed by two long gold pins with red bead tassels. A red-and-black open folding fan rises across the lower half of the portrait; thin gold ribs spread from a central knot, and a red tassel hangs from its handle. One large red peony sits at each side of the figure, their layered petals outlined in black and their yellow centers surrounded by dark green leaves. Her kimono collar is striped in red, black, and pale gold. The clean background leaves the flower clusters and fan silhouette distinct. It uses traditional-style flat color with deliberate black boundaries. In the preview it spans the upper back at larger than palm size, with peonies reaching toward both shoulder blades and the tassel descending along the spine.

Placement

Placement and size

The preview centers the broad composition high on the back, with each peony extending toward a shoulder blade and the fan tassel running down the spine. It needs a hand-sized or larger area for the flower layers and fan ribs. The upper thigh or chest can also support its width. On a narrower arm, use one peony rather than compressing both; the innermost petals and gold fan ribs are the first details that crowd.

Patchwork

Building it into a patchwork

This is a colorful, medium-heavy feature piece with several outer edges: flower petals, leaf tips, hairpins, and tassel. Place it as the focal point of a back or thigh collection, then use smaller black or red flash around the perimeter. A small lantern, gold hairpin, or simple leaf works nearby. Leave an open strip outside each peony so their many petal outlines do not join neighboring lines.

03Maintain a clear red tassel line down from the fan handle.
