what will be will be

still needs some tweaking in the tieup but this is it.the treadling would have been great as an advancing treadling, but cant face that as handlifts. width vs electronic heaven.
now starts the voyage into boredom 800 threads to sley and thread.

of tomodachi and gifto

for me one of the best gifts that can be offered is weaving samples,especially if they are japanese textiles.

my friend from kyoto gifted me a pack of oshima tsumugi samples.
the dyeing and weaving are so exquisite they look like printed cloth.

i am going to let them speak for themselves just adding shibui  ne!

getting closer to its destiny

at least the warp is on the loom. spent time yesterday toying with walls of troy. it has to meet more requirements than 3 end floats. it's a table loom ill be working on bcse of its  width so lifts have to be simple and easy. i also want progression from warp face to weft face and given that it will be a piece of clothing it needs to have drape,until i do't find the wow draft will keep doing time at fiberworks.

on the gardening scene can't be more thrilled.

my hakonenchloa

 aka japanese grass ,which i bought from the nursery in france this winter, 

is doing very well

actually i've watched it grow,love grassess bcse of that.

so are the hakone macra and the japanese blood grass. nothing like plenty of water and cool nights.the taller one is lemongrass finally summering outside.

plants do need cool nights to recoup from hot days or else they fry.like my plants in barcelona. today i also noticed that the clematis miss bateman that i had chopped because of some kind of wilt is coming back. still a hint surging from the soil, but hey i thought it was a goner.

closer to its destiny as well are my last-i think-two parcels from japan. the customs saga is over, now im holding my breath bcse i was told they would notify me how much i had to pay  ╯︵╰,

hope i knew in which one  of the boxes my old clothes and sneakers are bcse i could tell them to keep them.

and a final note : i was made aware that it was impossible to comment here ever since blogger did away with open IDs therefore i am allowing anonymous comments.so comment at will and don't forget to sign your name.
