blue and white bojagi

 

bojagi number 3 blowing in the early morning breeze.

somehow the idea of wrapping cloths and Japanese furoshiki have captured my imagination. This one has scraps that hold memories and so I’ll keep it.I’ve added some tiny folded squares in one corner.  Chunghie Lee calls them pine nuts and states they are “often used to trim the one corner of a wedding  BoJaGi that will show after the piece is folded”.

I like to start with an interesting fabric piece and build around it.  The shibori stars are a workshop sample on silk satin.

the medium blue with darker stripe pattern is my first shifu, cut and spun at Kawashima in 1987.

and the “eyes” are  woven warp shibori scraps used in a wall hanging.

the next bojagi is already on the cutting board!
