a few observations

the datura which i thought was a goner put out 2 flowers.the weather is sooo weird we've had two 30º

days last week.plants are beserk.

kukes are putting out flowers now looks like i'll have a late crop this year.

osaki momiji has been red all year

japanese painted fern doing its best to survive.no color though. ¯\ ( ツ ) /¯ 

on the excellent news dept located kira sensei's vids on youtube again.guess the ban was lifted, which makes me happy bcse as far as a teacher goes he knows what he's doing.うれしいね！

bore management

tying on is not fun rather a godsend punishment. always wondered about people, mostly children and women who did that task in a mill.hence the accident rate among them.

monoprints are a relief from boring tasks, they are instant grat, you deal with color,and if you follow the wave you can end up with a quantity in one hour. getting them together and binding it's another story. or craft if i may say.

i am testing watercolor crayons on acrylic prints to see if they work.so far so good, but i think i can push them further.this one's still a wip.

when you need more warp

the warp was cut and i was left with the feeling that i had not said all i wanted to say. that more work on

the enoden and fuji-san  vibe was to be done. therefore i am tying in a new shorter one.talk about

process.

on another note discouraged with the japanese lessons. i am acquiring bad habits and not doing much progress. class is now reading and translating, which is a big no no in teaching a language ,any language. to check understanding there are reading comprehension questions and then text discussion .

people in class are happy ,they don't know the hows, and  they have something tangible like a photocopy to feel they are doing some work in the language.i'll give it one more month an if not sayonara.

already looking for on line options.
