When I started this blog I bet that I would have never been able to move away my obsession, that this blog would have been nothing else than another one of the many Fung's fansite... But I'm slowly realizing that I'm being crazy enough on The Honeypot and AF, so I've to do my best to keep this blog, that's MY blog, "clean" from Fung's Fever... Will be able to do this? Even my Facebook couldn't escape from it... But I must do it, this is MY blog, not his.
Well, this of course cannot decrease my "loyalty" towards us Honeys' idol... ^_^

Tired...very tired...
Don't know why, in certain moments of my life I would feel extremely tired, even just woken up, I would want to go back to my bed, to sleep and would never wake up anymore...
haha! you would say: "This is called depression". No, don't think so. I should know what depression is, and I'd do my best to avoid it.
I still have too many things to do. I cannot give up. I'm in a very important point of my life, I cannot afford such a luxury. Maybe sometimes I'm overwhelmed by what is called responsibility, maybe I'm not ready yet to face such a great challenge, a challenge like LIFE.
Face the world, face the people. I used to think that some kind of people can exist only in the imagination of writers, to make movies or novels more interesting. I was wrong. There's nothing more interesting than everyday life. Well, to be not so pessimistic, one should state that having to do with so many "characters"(because the term "people" is too ordinary, does not match with them), you will never be bored! hehe...

An update on my katagami project
Long time no post... he he, so busy lately...^^ graduation etc etc... Finally got time to work on my "katagami project" again(see previous post). Well, I tried to handmade some katagmi paper by myself (using mulberry paper, persimmon juice etc), but the results were not as expected, so I decided to do some research on the net, and luckily I found on ebay some ready katagami paper. I bought a couple of sheets to carved... So far, I managed to carved a sample (to train my carving skills...^^) of the whole job, here is the result:
Well, still have to improve... firmer hand needed... :-/

My next goal: KATAGAMI
Just discovered a new interest (well, of course without forgetting my litto Fung... ^o^)... Katagami.... that are japanese traditional stencils...
My interest in this kind of art arouse thanks to my professor... some days ago a postman carried a big package in his office... I was curious and asked him what it was... he told me it came from Japan... a "Katagami"... and I was.. HUH? o_O Then he explained me what katagami are...
I became more and more curious abt them, and started to search the net abt... this is what I found:
"Japanese paper stencils are used in the process of dyeing textiles. The patterns are varied: geometric shapes, animals, flowers, landscapes and everyday objects.They are cut into sheets of handmade mulberry paper laminated together, waterproofed with persimmon tannin and smoked.
Designs are cut into the paper with thin knives and fine punches, and reinforced with stands of silk. Each plate has two small pinholes that serve as "register marks." A pin or point is passed through each of these two holes and into the corresponding marks left by the previous impression. In this way, design continuity is insured...."
He says nowadays katagami r becoming more and more rare, cuz of advent of modern print techinques, so it's very difficult to find them... but he managed to collect a lot of them ald...
Then I thought, collecting them is not as appealing as MAKING them with your own hands! So I wanna try to make myself... it should be funny! ^_^ I ordered on ebay some thick mulberry papers, I bought a cutter and unripe persimmons.... now only waiting for the papers and I'll begin my very first Katagami! :D
This is the Katagami I wanna make:
"Bamboo and Flying Plovers". Simple but elegant... I think it's very beautiful to look at.
Wondering what it will look like at the end...
