First Impression Bojagi
2013.03.02
This month, I participated in friend's 'Gathering Artist' event. I brought some bojagi works and other handmade goodies. One of the customer saw my own business card case and asked me to make some for her friends. I used colorful Gongdan(brocade) strips to compose this.

Baramgaebi(Pin wheel) pattern Bojagi Bojagi

Triangle is always hard shape to work for me. This took me a while to construct since I can see many flaws when I make this. Once you put triangle shape into square, you have to keep go on. Just like a life you can look back but hard to change it. So I decide to make some tea and enjoy it!

Lotus Leaf Bojagi Bojagi

Life gets busy always and if I don't do the things that I love, I will
regret at the end of the day. So better get busy and enjoy my life!
Recently I got a request from an art lover. She wants me to make lotus
place mats and matching napkins. I used Moshi(Korean linen) for this
lotus leaf. Moshi is very fun material to work with because of the
texture and stiffness but at the same time it's a bit tricky to handle.
Korean people say that treat moshi as you treat your baby.

Hi Phyllis,
Thank you for visiting my page. Unfortunately my DVD doesn't cover how to make this lotus leaf. When I made this, I started from one big vein in the middle and spread out. In my opinion, the order isn't that important. Just think how you draw a lutus leaf on the paper. You might want to draw big veins first and moved to smaller/ thinner veins. I hope this can help you figure out how to sew vein lines. Please let me know if you need more details about this! Youngmin -

This is kind of a shot in the dark. I recently bought a book in France about Bojagi and it had a similar project as this one. The instructions said to sew the vein lines in the order indicated on the pattern...unfortunately, I think the author forgot to indicate numbers/order on the pattern. Tried to email her but not sure if she ever got it.. I was researching this on the internet and stumbled across your post. Is there anyway you can give me some pointers on the order of sewing the vein lines? Is it the long veins first? Your lotus leaf looks beautiful. Thanks!
