Canceled the job three times, but she kept spitting the out the job.

I did a photoshoot of my workspace because I was just so pleased with my ritual of rolling, tying up, and putting away completed fabric for projects, I just had to capture this (to me) esthetically pleasing sight. Something about seeing it orderly tickled my brain.

Then I took more photos and decided to revive this dormant tumblr account.

I got this bag sometime between 2012 and 2014. The first repair to it was the denim replacement of the shoulder strap anchor and the sashiko followed as it further deteriorated. The goal here and with my other two projects is to preserve the history of the item and allow the original fabric/material to tear and decay naturally; all repairs are meant to reinforce the original structure while allowing it to fall apart.

I haven't a clue what the proper term is for each "segment" of the bag, whatever cuts of fabric that require seams to constitute the whole, but I rip the seams and work on each segment before stitching the whole ensemble back together. I layer a similar color fabric underneath the segment, use fabric adhesive on the corners to secure the fabric for stitching, and then lay the sashiko pattern on to reinforce the outer layer.

The threshold seems to be once tears and holes threaten my confidence in structural integrity or the ability to retain contents.

Korean store owners during the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

For the Korean community, the riots were known as Sa-I-Gu, four-two-nine in Korean or April 29, 1992, the day the riots started.

Funny about all this. No wild firefights happened, the rioters saw the strip malls etc. were defended and they went to ransack elsewhere. This is what is meant by “an armed society is a polite society.”
