this might not be everyone's cup of tea

but conceded, it is interesting,

have a good weekend

relatively pleased. it has been painful knitting due to some rows with no pixel. this means that the machine reads it as a free pass and the sequence of colors gets wonky affecting the image.

after many,many tries found that was the problem and could correct it.this one knitted ok with some bunched yarn errors. the bottom part is the hem and won't show,so is the red stripe at the top.

will keep at it. after all this is a series of 4.

another labor of patience

making ink. the nice ultra black one. using an inkstick i bought at a venerable ink/brush/paper shop in nara in 2018. was keeping it but the alternative of being buried with it sounded rather dumb.

 it takes time and some elbow grease, but the process is meditative, the outcome is brilliant.
