		<title>BW</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There will be more about shibori and silks and kimono, but I thought I&#8217;d give some space to BW&#8217;s obsession. These are just two of his set on Dante&#8217;s Inferno. Catch him on Polyvore.]]></description>

		<title>Taisho Kimono</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The beautiful kimono that has been hanging on my wall since our return from Japan had lately been enticing me more and more to deconstruct it. In my mind I was sewing marvelous scarves with the large areas of vibrant red-orange shibori and the black shiboried pine trees against the swath of white, the delicate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where have you been?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really have neglected this blog for far too long. I promise more words of wisdom&#8211;of sorts&#8211;for my not quite new year&#8217;s resolution. I have been tooling away on my sewing machine hoping that my beautiful Japanese kimono scarves will make a big splash this Christmas season. Etsy tells me I can embed some here [...]]]></description>

		<title>Music of The Spheres</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to Wikipedia, Music of the spheres or Musica universalis is an ancient philosophical concept that regards proportions in the movements of celestial bodies as a form of music. Considering that my first memory of the telephone was a simple black object with a dial on the bottom and a receiver that hooked onto the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Catching Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend, Marjo, who evidently keeps up with my ramblings from the Netherlands, reminds me that I haven&#8217;t added anything new for nearly two months. One reason is that I have been laboriously re-editing our 1980-something book, Teaching Children to Draw, for Davis. They worked with one manuscript which I then checked and reworked, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>About, updated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As if I needed further proof of the absolute genius that is iPhone, here are at least two or three more reasons to love it. When we were in Hull in June, we contracted for a week at a new place in September. On Friday we met with our publisher at Davis in Worcester which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kimono cont&#8217;d &amp; Shibori</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The kimono arrived&#8211;promptly, as I have come to expect of Ichiroya. It is all that I could have wished for; it is so beautiful. From the full kimono picture, it is difficult to see all the wonderful shibori and subtly-dyed detail, but it is a joy to look at, to examine, and to discover new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coals to Newcastle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You would think that bringing to Japan one of my bags, made entirely of traditional Japanese patterns like the wonderful large wave or seigaiha pattern on the front flap&#8211;repeated many times over on our Tokyo hotel&#8217;s elevator doors for example, would be superfluous, like bringing coals&#8230;., but I have never had such an enthusiastic response.

		<title>Japan: The Art of the Kimono</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have written much about my working with traditional Japanese patterns and deconstructed kimonos, a search that has taken many hours of my retirement&#8211;a joyous search, I might add, because I have always been fascinated with the Japanese aesthetic. I can probably trace that passion back to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Japan: Performance II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many respondents regretted the fact that I hadn&#8217;t documented Brent&#8217;s Tokyo performance. In answer, I am posting a picture of the designated spot where he stood, the pink awning, taken with my iPhone&#8211;the only camera I brought to Japan&#8211;from my 23rd floor vantage point. You can see the awning on the right side of the [...]]]></description>
