I have many friends who practice the art of  plant dyeing, and kitta is one of them. I also occasionally do plant dyeing in Yakushima or Hateruma Island. Not only are the colors beautiful, I love that the healing properties of the plants protect the body. I even brought a dress dyed with Fukugi from Hateruma Island on tour with me.

oh boy I love stabbing It is pretty relaxing to do those simple repeated motions. I don't do that great with the more calculated fabric work like crocheting, needle felting is more like sculpting. Wool is also super versatile so I'm gonna try natural dyeing some and felting some creatures out of it!

i asked for a fabric shaver for my birthday. tending to my knits feels almost like taking care of a plant. there is something very fulfilling about injecting more life into well-loved pieces.

dyed some clothes, sewed new buttons on others. I’m frequenting the the cobbler, I’m seeing a seamstress to turn dresses into skirts. I’m sewing up holes and not caring if it’s wonky. I’ve always been a knitter but seeing all of my clothes as a hobby feels like a continuation of that. Your wardrobe can be made exactly how you want it without buying anything new!

I’ve stored the memory of the day I swam with whales in my treasure chest of memories. Whales are my singing teachers.

Homemade miso is the best. The flavor changes depending on the balance between salt and koji. It can be eaten in as little as 6 months, and if aged for a year, it becomes a rich red miso. A personal remedy.

I love it! I like to munch on it just as it is, without any dressing. It also helps with digestive health while I’m on tour.
