edition brewing

these modest flax books 
edition of 7 
are what all that stitching and coloring and changing of rough flax into soft...
what all that has transformed into.
it's coming as soon as everything is sewn in/together.
i am really really excited.
it's a
FLAX NOTION
or two,
coming soon (relatively).
(on the table, my favorite self made bone folder and new handmade watercolors)

book stuff

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.
