"a cloth with the characteristics of dragonfly wings"

describing basho-fu from

mottainai: the fabric of life

this slim catalog is lovely,

finely designed and square in the hand

with text in both english and japanese

from the current show at the portland japanese garden.

the co-curators are kei kawasaki and stephen szczepanek (sri textiles)

i would love to see this show.

on today's walk

the two calves in the front pasture

next door

were snoting and blowing and ripping and tearing

maybe it was the snow in the air.

wendy ignored them, but they were,

perhaps,

thinking she was a wolf!

grrr...
