For Art Thursday we have traditional textile gift covers. Fukusa are pieces of decorated silk used to cover gifts in Japanese tradition. Bojagi is a general term for all wrapping cloths in Korea. I didn't find a definition for "Boktcha" other than "gift cover."

Beautiful pieces...and such a variety! Reminds me a bit of quilting, too.
The "fish" Fukusa is a real eye-popper.
AND, they can be reused. :-)
What a delicious post! I've taken a couple of zoom classes with Youngmin Lee as well as her online bojagi course, and I fell totally in love with everything she shared. So wonderful.
