look at those pretty twill lines

satisfying weaving.even with hand lifts as this is on my table loom. on the louet dobby although it's capable of a lot more the weaving is not as enjoyable because of the miserable shed.

even under tension the warp is already starting to pleat. don't know if it will pleat real pleats although i've followed all the rules and then some more. not only betting on warp and weft twill but also on the wool merino weft.

fingers crossed.

kiku

my sumi-e practice this week: chrysanthemums. some came out looking more like tarantulas   ( ¨¨ ω¨¨ )   leaves are fun to do ,it's all brush control.

this one came out better,more flower like.more practice required but i find it fun.

garden of eden

hellebores have started, a bit late though.

last year's bulbs are out

this year's are coming out.still moving pots around to find the definite arrangement. trellis has to be put on the wall for this year's kukes and green beans. looking forward to the present year's crop.

babying the yuzus inside. they withstand cold weather but don't want to risk it since they are still tender.
