let's get back to the today's topics. Today, I would like to introduce a new works.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I recently made a bag from an old stained jute bag, dyed with persimmon tannin and reinforced with many stitches. Sashiko is an old Japanese technique to strengthen cloth with many stitches. I used up the old jute bags without any scraps. It is made entirely from vegetable materials, so it go back to the soil.

This bag is hand quilted with cotton inside. The handles of this bag are stuffed with old cloth. All the cloth of this bag is recycled from very old items. It takes a very long time, but we have created a very beautiful, durable, and environmentally friendly bag. See you later!

The bedrooms in the house have all been treated very differently. Here, the white panels of the walls and wardrobe have been outlined in a blue wash, while the French doors, which were added by the McDonnells when all the windows were enlarged in 1974, allow sunlight to stream in across the floorboards.
In an Irish House, 1988

I need some help with this floral babe. While pawing through my mother‘s brooch collection I found three that would make a perfect hat for them. Which one should we use?

Oh, I forgot to use this picture anywhere! It's been an exhausting, EXHAUSTING spring, including the painting, including the paneling, including a trip to nj to retrieve a pile of furniture, including way too much crochet for human hands to safely endure. But the guest room is coming together! The lips are probably getting evicted to the next guest room over (music/manga room), because the Horrors have faded enough that I'm itching for my next paint job, and I think it's going to be a pink and red palette. Just having one vibrant room in my house makes me so happy already, I simply HAVE to continue

Actually, you know what, have these curio cabinets too, because I'm delighted with how they turned out. More gifted old furniture finally giving me a dignified residence for my knickknacks. Pls note the tasteful heavy bookbinding objects on the bottom shelves definitely because they're pretty and not because I almost tipped these things over more than once before getting them anchored to the walls

kakishibu(persimmon tunnin)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
先日、白が好きと書きましたが、その後、あまり間を置かずにこう書きます。
私は柿渋で染めた色が好きです。
この化学染料にはない、なんともいえない茶色です。 柿渋で染めたものを鉄媒染すると、これまた黒に近い何とも言えない色になります。
The other day I wrote that I like white, and then, without much pause, I write this.
I like the colour dyed with persimmon tannin.
It is an indescribable brown colour that this chemical dye does not have. When dyed with persimmon tannin and then iron-mordanted, the colour also becomes indescribable, almost black.

渋柿を若いうちに潰して水で発酵させた液で染めることを柿渋染めといいます。 渋柿の代表的な利用例は皮革のタンニン鞣しではないでしょうか。
柿渋染めをした布は、耐久性が増し、防腐防虫効果があります。また防水効果もあり、昔の日本では何度も紙に塗り重ねて雨傘にしていたほどです。今でも手ぬぐいなどを染める型紙にも使われています。
Dyeing with liquid made by crushing astringent persimmons when young and fermenting them in water is called persimmon tannin dyeing. A typical example of the use of tannin is tanning of leather. Cloth dyed with persimmon tannin is more durable and has antiseptic and mothproof properties. It also has waterproofing properties, so much so that in old Japan, paper was repeatedly coated with it to make rain umbrellas. Even today, it is used as a stencil for dyeing tenugui.(Please search for “Ise katagami”.
1度目の染めではオレンジがかったピンク色に。それを日光に当てまた染めるを繰り返し色が茶色へと変化します。日に当てるほど深い色になってゆきます。 初めのうちは硬いのですが、着込んでいく事で柔らかくなっていきます。
When first dyed, it turns orangey-pink. It is then exposed to sunlight and dyed again and again until it turns brown. The more it is exposed to sunlight, the darker the colour becomes. The fabric is stiff at first, but becomes softer with use.

そんな大好きな柿渋染めですが、欠点は縫��時にとても硬い事と、なんと言ってもその臭い笑!! でも安心してください。私の作品は臭いが抜けてから売っています。
I love persimmon tannin dyeing, but its drawbacks are that it is very stiff when sewing and, what can I say, its smell ! My family seems to be very annoyed when I am dyeing:) But don't worry. I sell my work after the smell is gone.
