This time I'm using a slightly more complicated pattern, but tbh unfortunately not a pattern that I had to learn anew. For the lantern frame I'm using American Nutwood. At least that is what we call it here in Germany. I don't know which kind of nut exactly that is. The color is brown, obviously. It also shimmers purple when the light is right.
Very cool, I appreciate the effort and response! I'm starting with a few basic patterns like asa-no-ha to get the hang of it and always like seeing other ones for inspiration.
