change of pace

sumi-e practice so i don't forget brush placement and management. my ginger plants.

and my imperata cylindrica.

my walls. surrounded by works from friends and things japanese.

the double ikat is from bali

next to it a double weave exercise, my first serious try in dw.

here we go

the beginnings are always somewhat constrained. as work progresses it becomes more fluid.managing to get the feel of the sand and the waves, i think.

some warp printing here, think i went too subtle. very soon a train should come.

starting japanese today. hisashiburi ne!

the crops

everyone's suffering from this summer from hades.

toms like marbles, 

few cucumbers, the other plant stalled with no growth

 others totally fried.the beautiful orange dreams momiji gone to plant heaven.

the only one doing well is the calamodin as it is semi tropical.

and the interior yuccas.they couldn't be happier.

on a positive note  happy day of asturias
