the art of tea

a fleeting feeling.

have a good weekend

neki desu 

 

someone's enjoying the heat

and finally growing up (*^▽^*) already had the first cucumber of the season juicy and sweet.

the second plant is stalled no growth whatsoever. think the two cold weeks in may didn't do any good to it.

the yellow strip on the right on the bamboo is my tanabata tanzaku . this year it was cloudy so the stars couldn't be seen.

a scheme

 all the recent dyes except the lavender skein which is logwood from last fall. first row buckthorn second suo aka brazilwood and behind it fig leaves on bourette silk. dyeing basically with what i have or can forage around without any plan  and surprisingly the palette came out pleasing.winter weaving is going to be enjoyable.silk is such a wonderfully forgiving fiber.

testing the lichen fermentation jars.

the only promise i see is # 2. this is cotton which is a difficult fiber,except for indigo methinks,
