went to yuko's house on friday night.. so beautiful... this table waiting for us....

next to this beautiful loom...

and by these indigo plants she was drying... indigo is aiiro i learned..

then the gems started coming out... i had no idea she was a weaver... silk weaver...

pulled out some silkworm cocoons

which she spins

 

these ones she said she died recently with fresh indigo plants.. which make a light blue

then she pulled out some samples... kinda mind blowing especially the ikat...

then she pulled out her paper collection all made from various dyes... natural materials... i was embarrassed of taking more photos...
