Paint a Picture

The inu-hariko (paper mache dog) is one of my new favorite symbols from Japan. It’s a good luck symbol for children, child birth and parenting. He’s also the mascot for the Toyko-Edo museum^_~

Now, before you get any crazy ideas, I’m not pregnant. But I’ve been wanting to do a painting of this little guy for a long while now. If it could bring good luck for anything kid related, maybe it’ll help with trying to get pregnant?

I made an animated gif of my process too: )
