neki desu

an empty loom

is a good thing

when you have a new warp in the making.

the frugal weaver fabric. could weave one meter from that indigo dyed silk remnant. quite chuffed with it,nice iridescence and a rustic appeal.

now on to sourcing the basket for the bottom

kakishibu- second installment

even after uva exposure and the consequent goldenifying the color was not very pleasing.i mean it's ok,but not kakishibu.as i mentioned i am waiting for the one i bought in japan so i am not suffering bcse i am going to run out.

another session, more powder and this time i heated the water. the take up is better and darker.

still wet but the difference is noticeable.

it's going to stay in the bath for 24 hrs, then it will have the uva treatment to develop the orange undertones.


there's the yearly carnival in my hood,peace and quiet gone. luckily it's just 4 days and it's ending today. my headache has developed into a vintage one.
