Description

Etch 10 adorable kawaii scenes and add as much colorful cuteness as you desire.

Cuteness is everywhere in Artful Etching: Kawaii! This Japanese cultural phenomenon, which emphasizes a childlike love for all things cute and charming, has spread across the world—and now you can create your own kawaii scenes on the pages of this book. By etching away the outlines on each of the 10 boards with the included etching tool, you’ll reveal the bright, vibrant colors underneath. Then add as much detail as you want in order to create your own unique designs. An introductory section describes how to etch the scenes for the best results, and examples of finished pieces are included for reference.
