Inspired by a kimono wallhanging in Ana Lisa Hedstrom’s studio, I decided to pull out some of my vintage kimono fabrics. This is very patchy, but I think it has possibilities. I really like the wonkiness of it. I need to square it up a bit and decide how to finish the edges. I will hang it on a bamboo rod.
I need some new work for the Japanese Garden show next month. I am going to try another color way tomorrow. Next week, I will have M & M for a couple of days and even though they are in school during the day, I am sure it will cut into my studio time.
It has taken a couple of days to recover from the SF trip. I have been getting caught up on sleep and getting back to my exercise routine. Today was a gorgeous day, but we have rain coming for the next couple of days.
Oh my Gerri!! What a delightful treat !!! Your flikr set from your recent trip are so wonderful and full of hours of inspiration!!!! The calla lilies are amazing and the rusting is sublime!!! I love what you are doing with your vintage Kimo bits- just stunning!!!!
I also admired your shot of her kimono and thought about doing something like that for our livingroom………..sigh! Can’t wait to see where you go with this one.

You know how much I like your Japanese-inspired work since I own one of your pieces made with vintage fabric. Wonky? Well, that gold print in the lower right does appear a bit odd. I’d probably go with something more subtle. Maybe a deep gray piece?
Nice. I look forward to seeing you in your new kimono too.
