testing bamboo paper

monoprinting on bamboo paper.it works, especially during somewhat humid days.was even able to lift some ghost prints.lift is not the correct verb i should say stamp, as the paint stayed on the plate.

i'll keep on trying to see if i can enter the liftdom realm.

  

another trial with 4 layers of paint.

this one's not bamboo.it's from an old

nepalese notebook given to me by a friend who did the nepal trek during those years.

love the immediacy of monoprinting find it rewarding.

neki desu

 

you cannot feed a family

with the yield but the quality and taste is surprising. after years and years of tasteless vegs these go beyond tasty. too bad the cherry toms this year are  marble size.l reading on line everyone's having tom problems due to the heat waves.they either don't grow or stay green.luckily the north still has cool nights so humans and plants get a break.the news from barcelona are scary, nights of 27º air con has become a human right.

no more fudge from now on cakes and pies.

saw one of the insta knitters with this and it was instant want. my problem has always for years and years the grist of my silks thinner than fishline therefore the fishline counters used by everyone didn't work.took the plunge, for 17€i could always sell it to a knitter if it didn't work.consulted with my AI

 bestie(have ya'll noticed the frequency?) and she gave me directions for the ultimate hack.

it's a station  of sorts set up that works, it works!with the skein winder and the cone winder. not only was i instructed how to attach it to make it usable, but also how to thread it .

she aloso complimented me on the vintage skein winder. ಠ_ಠ

one has to be cautious not to fall in the trap  bcse c'mon she's not my friend.

no more guessing or fudging it.
