chinese bazaar wonders

this little bookie was found at the local chinese bazaar.the cover is dried fig leaves and the binding is charmingly rustic all for the grand price of 78 euro cents you do the numbers.

i am entering a phase of unassuming.when everyone's trying to attract the limelight towards themselves

i am in unassuming mode. feels relaxed . there's more than enough bs and unnecessary stuff right now to add more.

i've been practicing to get the hang of ume flowers before using the book. for the colored ones i'm using the japanese aya suiboku paints.

then finally braving out.

the paper has a lovely rough look/texture.

this will be a mini sketchbook.couldn't be happier.

pleats please :-D

this past year has been about weaving. haven't touched the k machines due to last year's disappointments. somewhat clearing my weaving yarns stash yarns from my beloved now defunct avril in kyoto. more collapse in the agenda coming up.

this one will be pleats, the warp is cashmere- merino the weft wool-stainless steel.almost done reeding, then debugging and weaving.

two block twill simplicity again.one block weaves warp faced twill the other weft faced twill.
