Artist's Comments

The Daruma symbolizes good luck and protection in Japan. Traditionally, a Daruma doll would be given to someone starting a new venture, celebrating a birthday, or at the beginning of a New Year. One eye is painted in at the start of an endeavor and a wish is made for good luck. When the goal is reached, the other eye is painted in.

I made these Daruma while watching the annual Red and White Song Festival (from Japan) several New Year's ago. My two crochet Daruma are pictured here with my little authentic one. I used my real guy as a guide to make my crocheted ones.

:rofl: I like Daruma, too. I think they're so neat! I already have my new one for next year, but I'm waiting 'til New Year's to color his eye in and make my wish.
