another episode of the frugal weaver

threading two meter remnants of the ai silk warp. i have realised that i have traded meters for natural light and this has enabled a revision of my processeses.

one who never makes excuses for not going into the studio and working,i had adequated every part of the process as well as the weaving itself to lack of natural light. working with lights, no matter how well designed the illumination is, had some effect on me.

not only is it more comfortable, it also is more pleasant. there has been a considerable streamlining.
on a very happy note one of my japanese classmates has located a cousin who has a fireplace. happy dance as he is saving the ashes for me. aizome ahead! now i only have to source the milk heating thermos.but that's another post.

and now some gardening

my plants from france arrived, just took a a week! .i am into bamboos and japanese grasess ;-)

 equisetums and some blue hostas.

planning ahead for spring-summer.




talk about an early start, banksia  budding at the
end of fall. People, should i pinch them away?








neki desu

all of the 35

sections for a grand total of 700 threads.not the same warping and threading 700 threads than 2100.

threading will also be a breeze as the linen is behaving very well-famous last words- 

the warping process has been refined and the  rigging  adequated.

i also have my concentration back as the home issues were cleared in a most satisfactory way.actually we've been celebrating for the past 3 days.

and then we also have this to feast upon.it's been cold, rainy, snowy, but the surrounding hills look spectacular. bear with this ex city girl
