Hiroyuki-dono, it wasn't even close to "wow," before. As long as the weather stays sunny and I come straight home from work I've got good light here in the garret until at least 6:30 PM. I got four groups completely done today, including a bit of freehand work. The dupioni is slubbier than the red I used for my "Shoot Me" kosode - or maybe it's that I'm working on such a small, fiddly scale, but stencilling on it is really hard. I'm not getting as clean a line as I would like, but I have to admit that after having my nose pressed up against it for two hours and knowing where every single flub is, these photos look pretty good.

Isn't that a song? I think Stevie Wonder sang it: I just called to say I hate you I just called to say how much I glare I just called to say I hate you And I mean it from the bottom of my blackened heart In odder news... What fantastic work. Even if you haven't been able to get as clean a line as you would like, it looks REALLY nice, and I am particularly wowed by the flowing water motif (one of my favorites)

Only one project before the event? (Yeah, yeah, I know, I got your katchu in my wafuku. Have a peanut butter cup and chill...) The painting in gold is done as of this evening.* I need to design and cut a stencil for the flowers next - probably tomorrow evening. I could conceivably have it done for Pennsic, Kannon willing and the creek don't rise. In between bouts of painting - which I try to do here in the garret using available daylight, I acquired a hanhaba obi on eBay for a song. Hanhaba obi are usually worn with yukata. I discovered that some of the fancier ones used for festival dancing can be taken apart, then folded in half lengthwise and sewn into obi that are appropriate for use in our period. Now I have one that looks like this, and a solid gold colored one made from the backing from it. *The reason it was not done earlier in the week is that I had to complete 12 cubic feet's worth of my Pennsic packing. One of the ways a lot of people from the West manage to do Pennsic is to pool resources and share space on a truck. I just got home from taking my stuff to the drop-off.
