Going on Vacation!

Diane Tuesday, May 24th, 2011 Tuesday, April 17th, 2012admin fanime, hiatus, vacation 0

Updates will be a little sparse for the next few weeks – tomorrow morning I fly out to San Jose to attend Fanime and then spend some quality time with Naomi!! We’ve got lots of kimono shenanigans planned, so hopefully I will have lots of great photos for you when I get back!

Behold, proof that I have not kiku'd the bucket. I'm sorry, that was a terrible pun but you put chrysanthemums is a lovely bucket-like container, that's what you get.

I have been in southern California for the past few months and will be here a while longer, which is why I haven't updated in so long.

I have a confession to make; I used to hate shibori. I suspect it was due to my aversion to certain textures and patterns. But as I've gotten older I've learnt to appreciate the beauty and incredible craftsmanship that goes into it, but it still wasn't something I had much of in my collection (aside from some obiage). I also named my pet uromastyx lizard @shibori.the.uro, due to the spots on his back.

I found this piece on eBay when it had less than an hour to go, and I just fell head over heels. I love how bold it is, how minimalistic it is despite the motif itself being huge and dramatic, I love the very simple colour palette. And of course, rangiku is one of my favourite motifs.
