beauty shot

my ultra gorgeous itomaki finally in use.the spun kami ito  holds nicely on it, much better that wound in a bobbin imo

 getting more papers ready for spinning.discovered that regular shodo brushes work better than pentel writing brushes for a non japanese.

funny some kanjis i know from my first course, some i've learned.this has prompted me to go back and continue studying kanji with an added incentive.i am fascinated by them, a system that you can graphically see the etymology.how cool is that?

already cut paper  joined  in a continuous thread waiting to be spun. may need to measure to see how many cms i get from a size di-a3 approx shifu sheet of paper .

neki desu
