Sekka-Shibori

I feel recently Shibori(tie-dye) is getting popular among non-Japanese.

I couldn't imagine that this video makes a buzz!
This is one of the traditional shibori based on Origami tec called Sekka Shibori, meaning Snowflake Tie-Dye.

I'm a medical doctor today

As My right knee hurt without any clear course, went to hospital to check and take medical care.

So, today I've decided to 'care' the things around me. Fix tassels, roomshoes, sweaters...

I really hope flowers, trees, little birds in my garden and all daily use items 'healthy'.

The sewing threads are from a closed-handicraft store.

The buttons are :
Might be used to be put on the suit which belonged to a business fighter, worked for more than 30 years.

Might be used be put on the recruitment suit of your girl.

Put on a small one-piece which was made by her mother?
Put on the mother's tailored dress?
Put on a body conscious in 80's?

From somebody's grandpa's coat?
Granny's cardigan?
Brother's jacket?

Welcome to my table.
Let's start to a new journey with me.
