breast in progress

I was commissioned by a friend to make a wall piece of her breast. This is from Silk Garden yarn a hand-dyed silk, mohair, and wool blend from Noro yarns, a Japanese company, and some super soft alpaca that I double stranded. It's coming along nicely so far.

배꼼: A Work in Progress

Today was another lovely artsy day. I made a bunch of casts of bellybuttons. They came out beautifully and there are still more to come.

when friday feels like saturday

I went out Thursday night to see the Brand New Heavies, went out for some drinks, and then stayed up late with a cup of tea and good company. So, Friday morning felt a bit like a Sunday. Fuzzy, dreamy, a funny tummy feeling, a desire to lay in bed all day long. But, it was Friday, filled with time to do my favorite things.

Time for making things, like belly buttons! Then time for reading After Dark, by Murakami. And then time to go to Chef Meili, to be a foodie with Dan.

Dinner looked like this:

Pumpkin soup with salmon and prawn mousse

Grilled lamb chop, duck confit, and thyme fettuccine

Nougat mousse with cherry sauce

I can't even talk about how good dinner was, you'll have to go check it out for yourself. Dessert was the best part. Chef Meili is located near exit 4 of Itaewon Station. Make a left out of the exit and go towards Gecko's. Chef Meili is on the second floor at the corner.

After dinner, I met up with the Metropolitician and Shanti, and we played in Itaewon, recording the sights and sounds of Homo Hill. For a good time go hang out with Paul of Always Homme. He was my favorite bit of the evening. Night made its way towards morning, and I, of course, found myself at Queen. A night on the hill wouldn't be complete without some late night shenanigans at Queen before I finally make my way to my bed. Then... Sleep, sleep, dream, and sleep.

I woke up today, feeling like it was Sunday... again. Fuzzy, dreamy, a funny tummy feeling, a desire to lay in bed all day long. But today is Saturday. Oy vey, I love my life.

We named our tree Ki. As Ki looses his leaves I slowly gain a new view from our mini-balcony.

Panties for Peace

This is so up my alley. I got this email today:

Here's a Burma resistance support campaign that started in Thailand and has gotten international publicity. Inspired by a Burman male cultural belief that contact with women's garments, especially undergarments, can sap men's innate superior power, the northern Thailand activists (including women refugees from Burma) have called for women to send their underpants ("Panties for Peace") to Burma embassies around the world, for a collective psychological effect on the male generals oppressing the people of Burma.
