new love

studying kanjis i discovered the most beautiful one and fell in love.this is kasa (かさ); now tell me if it doesn't look like 4 people standing under a parasol at a table?that's what it is, the kanji for umbrella.





i had the urgency to do something with it so i started sketching
ideas in a brainstorming session of sorts.
first the writing practice which evidently needs a LOT  of polishing.
the super ego that sensei planted in on me years ago kept wincing at the results.but meanwhile i kept bouncing ideas.

here are some in rough.i have yet another project for after the holidays.








neki desu

all the little stitches

have a great weekend.









neki desu

of rain

"It rained for four years,eleven months and two days.There were periods of drizzle during which everyone put on his full dress and a convalescent look to celebrate the clearing,but the people soon grew accustomed to interpret the pauses as a sign of redoubled rain."

 One hundred Years of Solitude

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

not quite but almost.two straight weeks.we needed it, but give me a break!I need to learn how to function in a wet environment.coming from the dry med where activity almost stops when it rains it is a learning experience.luckily husband-san insisted to the point of obnoxiousness that i buy a pair of gore-tex and all kinds of techs rain booties.with a blessed zipper on the side so they qualify as slip ons.

hunter boots are cool, but very impractical. unless you're kate moss and are making a statement.(eye roll)
