“True friends and family will hold your hand in a hurricane to keep you from drifting away”. ~ Fergiemoto
I came up with this quote and image yesterday, and coincidentally, Frizztext posted a cute story today about sea otters that hold each other’s hands while they’re sleeping to prevent the loved one from drifting away. Check it out.
- Etegami 絵手紙 – Japanese word meaning picture letter/message, traditionally done in a postcard size meant to be mailed.
- Yoi tomodachi o iwau 良い友達を祝う – Celebrate the best of friends

I love your artwork and the accompanying words.
Cool!
amazing words of wisdom and a piece of art in one post.
i agree with you, we should hold hands with those who will not let us drift away.
Good phrase. Friend is treasure.
Fergiemoto, this is so lovely, the whole shebang. You are right up my alley woman. I was going to ask you have your add the beautiful symbols to your photomanipulations, but I see you have a post talking about the first you did. I have a chop, but really haven’t used it yet. I love it. I must start and you are just the inspiration I need to do so. Thank you my new blogging bud and creative soul. Margie
fabulous!
this is gorgeous – love the colors and your style =)
I absolutely ADORE this Etegami! What an inspired photo manipulation. Yes, we MUST stay connected to those helpful others! We must stay connected in love and peace!
Fabulous and I’m storing the sea otter anecdote away – too beautiful.
Happy day!
spectacular (~_~) I love it, and inspires me even more …
Hi,
Very nice words, and very true, love the art as well. 🙂
Thank You for visiting my blog.
I’m so glad you explained what an etegami is – I had no clue! This is really nice, and it’s so much fun that frizz posted the complimentary sea otter post! : )
very beautiful image; thank you so much for sharing. karen {visiting from TT}
Great words of wisdom and here in USA CHICAGO IL I would just put “tornado” instead.
I love the words and the accompanying picture… Adorable. TY for your patience as I have been adjusting to a changed schedule in my life … Glad to comment again. 🙂

I love how you added the Japanese to the picture, it gives it a whole new feel. Love the quotes! I will have to check out the otter story, so sweet. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely!
That’s what Friends and Family are all about.
A true phrase indeed.
Oh this is lovely! Both the image and the words.
I have discovered, in my short time here, that sometimes two or more posts appears to be about the same thing at exactly the same time – synchronicity?

this is a gem. put together well and great words. I like the way you’ve worked the image. way cool. aloha.
What a gorgeous post! Love the edit too… such a touching quotation.
I love the delicateness and lightness of this photo manipulation. And the ‘caption” follows suit!
I love how those colors stand-out against the low key background!
Very nicely done!
🙂
I’ve been keeping “sentence journals” for the past 5yrs or so–i just added your hurricane sentiment to it…what a keeper!
Wow – this is just wonderful!
Wisely created! I loved again, your artistic and poetical touches make your photography great. Thank you, with my love, nia

Wonderfully creative!
Simply charming!
What a simple but oh so wonderful message! The colouring is perfect.
Very pretty: I like the blue feet like the feet of the Blue Footed Booby.
Great double diagomal composition.
Pretty!
Good morning, This is wonderful!
Thanks to you & Frizztext for mentioning the stuff about sea otters.
I liked your picture and saying so much that I shared it on facebook and twitter. Beautiful!
I don’t see my post here…I thought I’d check … I went to post this to facebook and got interrupted by a phone call…short attention span !
This is truly elegant and a new form of art to me. My granddaughter, Sabrina, is an artist, 20 years old, and studied the Japanese language for 3 years…I sent it to her also…Thank you so much for sharing this.
And thanks for your “likes” on my blog…it means a lot to me.
Peace,
