trapped in a novel

fortunately it's neither best seller reading nor pulp fiction.

the worst 10 cms of my weaving life slow and nerve wreacking, it is like doing pick up weave.i keep weaving just to see if it gets better because i don't quit easily..

this warp defies all common knowledge and pop beliefs. linseed dressing to strengthen the fibers and avoid fraying? haha. hairspray to tame hairiness? ditto.spraying water ? total derision.

i now understand why countermarch looms were created and the deeper the more efficient.

looks like this household is going to have some posh linen dish rags.

just waiting to see if i can have a word with mr.darcey. (-_-)

neki desu 

good tidings to you

be well, be good and enjoy the holidays. see you after twelfth night.

neki desu

new love

studying kanjis i discovered the most beautiful one and fell in love.this is kasa (かさ); now tell me if it doesn't look like 4 people standing under a parasol at a table?that's what it is, the kanji for umbrella.





i had the urgency to do something with it so i started sketching
ideas in a brainstorming session of sorts.
first the writing practice which evidently needs a LOT  of polishing.
the super ego that sensei planted in on me years ago kept wincing at the results.but meanwhile i kept bouncing ideas.

here are some in rough.i have yet another project for after the holidays.
