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.

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'.

Enishi -chance-

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.

Monkey Slider

Today's weaving.

Weft yarn is dyed by Crape myrtle. Japanese name is Sarusuberi, means "Monkey Slider". Infact, the bark of myrtle is so slippery.

The other name is "100-day-blooming".
As the name suggests, in even such crazy hot summer, they keep on blooming so long strongly.
