sock life

*"drawing"*

new world.

The apartment from our friends

I was really into these climbing ropes

the most beautiful ceiling
ever
in Vienna

notes on design- Romania

bad girl. art problems. last minute need big bucket

Documentary Final

finally made my onigiri (took long enough) with a little mould I got 
with my mom in L.A. 
with umeboshi plum inside, amazing beefsteak plant seasoning (also L.A.) and toasted 
white sesame. so good.
brown rice next time though. 


then I accidentally downloaded this picture off my phone
It's my favorite spot in Chicago to escape (I do a lot of escaping and shutting in here)
one of two gardens adjacent to the museum, both are so beautiful 
(this picture does no justice)
I like this one because it's like a shelter- and less people are in it
...I love this song.............

NEWS:::::::::::::>>>>>>>:::::::::::::::::::::::

  I have begun (or """"re-begun"""" maybe) to maintain another blog
  this blog is especially for found photos //// things that I collect
  I have been wanting to have a space to share/catalogue these things       for a long time

soba soba soba soba
pretty dinner for unexpected muggy hot day

weaving again
this time with strips of plastic (white and clear)
and left over yarn my mom sent to me


 mixed feelings about using plastic.
(tacky)
I like the idea of repurposing things, but mostly 
it's so durable, things feel stronger.


I need the right zipper and then I'm turning it into a pouch

today, rope-probably the last project for my fiber class
but one of my favorites
this one from strips of sheer fabric, plastic bags, copper wire and white threads
it feels powerful
I have a relationship of trust with it that I usually can't establish with things I make


Also I bought a Binchotan charcoal tooth brush
(from Merz Apothecary, maybe my favorite place in Chicago)

Nobuyoshi Araki

really

is the most amazing

I posted a while ago about his book Chiro, My Love

now looking through a monograph of his work, Love and Death

no words

anti drawing ink drawings

Making & reading

Poem of the Pillow and other stories

first filming begins for final documentary

not a cooking show.

Easter bread.

from a nice Ukrainian market

I would have made my own but

Easter isn't the same without my family

The problem with this bread

was that there was no egg in the middle,

and no sprinkles ..

yesterday, ate&saw

vertical development
store everything on the walls

felt! !!!
stayed after class for more and more
and more

worried that I would loose all my hand skin
but this morning they feel normal again
and strong arms

off the loom. a little gnarly
although, to be fair,
it was born out of a gnarly skein of sock wool
that I dropped while I was winding it into a ball
and could never untangle.

but I could pull it apart in sections for weaving
so it wasn't all lost, as I had feared

also some old silk from another lost project, it always
makes an appearance .

missing animal comfort
I can tell because every time I pass by a cat
I have to stop for 15 minutes and interact
even if it's in a window

also sneakers and furry jacket (from sasha years ago- still wear it all the time!)
