September fun
the month has slipped away
the journal pages are finished for September
only three more months to plan and work
coming up with new ideas is the challenging part
the daisies took much longer than I thought they would
the shifu basket also had challenges
mainly because I’m not very accomplished at basket making
and really didn’t know what I was doing
the spokes are new growth bamboo shoots
they presented a problem when it came to finishing
until I cut them short and finished them with a narrow strip of the paper
and then painted the tiny basket with sumi ink – it is 1.75″‘ x 1.25″
there were many lessons to learn – my 2 ply kami-ito is very strong
weaving the second inlay scarf
using some very fine, indigo dyed silk from Bryan
the first challenge is to wind the skein into a ball
and then slowly inlay the squares
it’s a beautiful warm day – don’t know how much longer this weather will last
I’m back to the garden
loving that book, too!

Kerry – thank you, it is very slow. A time to just relax and enjoy.
