north country shifu

shifu page from an artists' book

 shifu, north country style

has been a passion, 

a focus 

for me the last few years

shifu and slippery elm and indigo cover

weaving simply

sometimes including bark and sometimes indigo

 and making shifu into covers or

as in the first photo

the pages itself

well, it's an amazingly versatile

way to make 

a book, a cloth, a coat, a story

india has posted 

a little piece on my trip to australia.

come along over to see

nature's colours in the city

and we'll do it. shifu.

in the ecotone.
