[intertexts]

what lino do you use cus i tried some random grey lino from my art store and it curled so badly :( ive mostly been using speedball easy carve the pink one but its kind of expensive lol

i am gonna be SO real with u most of what i've been using has been. pretty terrible blick golden-cut lino-- it's what my professor has a ton of, it's pretty sturdy & wont squish in the press, fairly easy to cut & holds a nice clear line, cheap as dirt <33

BUT!! also i recently got a couple sheets of battleship grey from jackson's online + they're lovely.... more expensive (like $5 for a 20x30cm sheet) but heavier & i adore the way they carve... haven't printed anything with them yet but ill let u know how it does when I do!! :]

i fucked up the glaze real bad maybe because i couldn't stir the pot of gummy stuff and liquid adequately... it was supposed to be brown and glossy not streaked with matte blue but i think it adds character

I'm making miso today!

More accurately, I'm making an Amino Paste (same method as miso, nontraditional ingredients). It's going to be roasted red kuri pumpkin (both flesh and seeds), navy beans, and the jasmine rice koji I just pulled out of the incubator this morning that smells fruity and mushroomy and interesting.

I think I'll do a lower salt, age 1-3 months, sweet miso just so I can eat it sooner! I do have a gallon jar I intend to fill with a 1-year more traditional miso (barley koji, soybeans, higher salt) also, but for my first foray I'm going for a shorter fermentation just so I can enjoy it sooner.

Depending on how I feel and how much koji I have left today, I might attempt an even less traditional miso made from the orange rinds from the oranges that grow on the tree outside my front window and cocoa nibs grown by my childhood friends, because that sounds interesting.

That and/or an amazake.

Today is going to be a good day.

God I love soup it tells my brain to shut up whenever it starts thinking too much or get depressed

you spin yarn? :O whats that like ive been really wanting to try it!! also pomegranate molasses sounds delicious

yeah!!!!! i'm super new to it but it's SO fun!! it's a really neat like, hands-on hobby-- pretty much everything like knitting or sewing or embroidery or what have you has like, a big you-should-really-pay-attention-to-this component, right? you need to keep your eye on yr pattern or yr stitches or smth. spinning (at least, what i've been doing-- just plain single ply + using my ma's ashford double drive spinning wheel) is like... once you get the hang of it it's almost subconscious. there's barely any thinking component to it, other than like, adjusting the tension occasionally, making sure yr spinning evenly, etc. it almost kind of reminds me of driving on a highway? you have to keep focused or you'll fuck up, but after a while it's really just. mostly muscle memory. also it's SO fucking satisfying it's just so fun oh my god. really rewarding to see you have a whole spindle of yarn you made. also it's like, quicker & therefore more instant gratification than knitting or something!! theres also probably just an adhdautism aspect of "this is just a simple repetitive rhythmic motion you keep going" that's... very alluring sdkfdgkf.

i just read ur tags abt the origins of street fashion & it is so interesting!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhh hi miso! & yeag... 70s-90s japanese avant-garde fashion is. something i'm SO autistic abt & love dearly.. the emphasis on pure shape & color + interaction btwn fabric & texture is like, wildly different than what european designers were doing at the time & it's. very cool i think !

[cosmogyros]

I need a flavor intervention... there is too much spice and salt and seasoning in my life lately, my stomach is in revolt :(

feeling kinda lightheaded but the world is okay I have only a few simple Night Chores ahead of me and, most importantly, I have so many leftovers in my fridge that it's almost stressful (👍)
