this small kozo ledger

was given to me.

it has a lovely little "staple" holding it togehter

and a special notation

added in

inks of black and some bits of red

who knows what they say?

out walking i see marvels

like this ice.

it's been really cold this week.

so the walking and thinking came together this way:

try to spin a little kami-ito

with one sheet from the ledger.

so i spun it up

and wove a page

and the whole thing looks like this:

page, booklet, shifu 3 x 6 inch page, small bit of kami-ito leftover

the page holds all sorts of marks

including a wee bit of red.

a book in the making.

and

please!

to everyone who contacted me before the australia trip

asking for a copy of the new book,

please remind me.

i've lost the list somewhere, somehow,

and before i put it up on the for sale page

i need to honor your requests.
