Nothing In It

On some of my walks in Pittsburgh, I started to notice abandoned groceries.

A very good long-time friend of ours was inducted into the order of the Pelican at Pennsic, so I made these two braids for him.

A friend of ours showed us some swatches of great fabric from a local fabric store, and one of them had this terrific green leaves and blue dragons pattern.

I have done a few custom award scroll illustrations for people in recent years, but I have also kept my hand in the “scroll blank” game.

I finally ran out of the mesh material that I have been using for making hikitate eboshi.

A dear friend of mine from way back who is a martial arts enthusiast had bought himself a Japanese sword, and he asked me if I would make a sageo cord for it.

Suprematism was an early twentieth century art movement that started in post-revolutionary Russia, and embodied the idea that humanity had to free itself from the past and move boldly into the future with new concepts of everything, including art.

I finished this kosode back in February, but for some reason I never posted about it here.

Given all of the “rainbow” braids I have done in the past year, and how the colors for our local SCA Barony are black and gold (just like Pittsburgh), we were beginning to run low on yellow cotton crochet thread.
