of king solomon's judgement

re sleying the reed proved to be an insurmountable mental uphill. thinking capon the best i could come up with was doubling a thread in each bout thus creating an empty dent.that space across the warp will give some more space for collapse and also create a line where some thread kinks will happen.🤞

so far, pretty    ( ¨¨ ω¨¨ )   

enjoying extra time as this is a long weekend. thankful for the immaculate conception who (which?) gives an extra holiday. the cheap joys of catholic countries (＾∇＾)

pigment tokyo. a place i avoided going last year as my cc were acting iffy with japanese card readers.

it's a place to break the bank.

 i bought three aya suiboku colors in a beloved store in kyoto but they were out of beni color . i was left  carrying that small pebble in my shoe.

 as my friend who was in tokyo some weeks ago couldn't bring the beni cake for me i, in a what the hell moment ordered it from japan and since shipping would be the same for 50 grams than for a kilo i splurged and ordered 5 pastilles.

took a week customs clearing and all. dhl rocks for a seamless efficient shipping,you get what you pay for.

so here they are in all their splendor: classic nihonga colors of beni, ai, shikon plus two yellows cochineal red verdigris and a light blue.

i will be adding touches of color as soon as i feel confident with sumi -e..

first week without japanese class. my renshuu app is smoking with self study.
