before Codex, briefly

the weather

 is all the news here, 

constant temp swings (60 degrees in a little over 24 hours!)

and today warning like crazy...

it's winter.

i   hope i can get to syracuse to catch the plane to get to san francisco for Codex

with no snow to deal with along rt. 81, the snow belt. 

maybe i should make a magic gut parka 

(and below wonderful needles 

pre-historic and beautiful.

from all over the world

we were stitching.)

shift back to now-- 

here's the stump loom with one of my own deer bone folders

doing double duty as shed stick.

this is the stump loom i wove the pages on.

for this book 

here is the interior of a one of my new shifu books.

 made from old kozo ledger pages from japan.

 this was a precious gift

and the final book, 

3 x 6 x 1/2 in

i'm in a rush, 

and hoping that if you're coming to Codex, 

you'll stop and visit me at table #190.Cod
