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 .

revisiting the design

this was basically the design still open to modifications; two 30x40750 rectangles side by side.that's a hell of a lot kami ito to spin. ambition blinds i'm telling you.

brainstorming in my notebook thinking of sound designs and less spinning led to this other one.

it's less kami ito and it's also more dynamic. what do you think? it's not written in stone.

and it's a lot less kami ito. being modular it admits many configurations. nevertheless i still need to write about 3 more papers and two blanks to spin
