intermezzo

two big i think din-a 2,kozo sheets gifted by a friend.it is of a thicker kind but ill be able to get a lot of thread from them. i have to think about the writing they are so big i'd have to write the poem 4-5 times which would stop being fun and become a chore.

also discovered in the proverbial drawer some shifu that i had bought on my first trip to japan in toyama i believe.

it is wonderfully translucent and has a nice crisp sound.

more shifu to make kami ito. great because i am aiming at a 30 cm wide weaving. ambition is blinding.

about the process ii

also learned that there's a great difference when the thread is steamed and when it is not.

after losing the fear of ending with an ink mess the next practice was to transfer  the yarn to a bobbin and steam set  it.

it becomes sturdier like more compact and less papery if you get my drift. 

 this is all practice sheets however, as they are getting better i may be able to use them as well.
