Look what I have just brought......have I brought an obi bolt? It is around 5 metres so it makes me think it is a Nagoya obi. What do you think????? #obi #kimono #着物 #帯 https://www.instagram.com/p/CP_E9BKgFJ0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another great kimono meetup with @kimonoteka! See you soon! https://www.instagram.com/p/CIvb19rA_Vw/?igshid=1uoqmqxl55fa6

Thank you to @mayunabeeee and @kimono_salaokabe for running a wonderful obi tutorial. First obi was a bit stiff and very long but when I tried it with my chuya obi then it looked a little better. Finally I tried it with my super soft gold obi and it is still a bit long . However that can be solved with a obijime. Can't wait for the next one 👏 https://www.instagram.com/p/CHVKk3ygRuB/?igshid=10pnwuxs2hlml

Another fun zoom kimomo meetup. As always I have to rely on fellow attendees for photos as I am hopeless with them 🤭 https://www.instagram.com/p/CHAJmR5AmbW/?igshid=p794wt82rjwn

Update. Good news, the meanie who stole Shelia's Instagram is losing followers! However they have changed the name again. Don't be fooled. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGzR9KggNaz/?igshid=o94jek9na05w

My friend Shelia Cliffe @kimonoshelia has had her Instagram account and they have stolen her followers. Unfortunately she has not been able to get back her account so please unfollow this charlatan. #kimonosheila #kimono https://www.instagram.com/p/CGxowNAgsyf/?igshid=1x9tlnpx6j7nn

Day 21 - amphibious It was a toss up of a frog or salamander so I went with salamander. Unfortunately it is missing a body and a pond to live in 😔 #tsumamizaikumonth #tsumamizaiku #つまみ細工月 #つまみ細工 #つまみ細工コンテスト #日本つまみ細工コンテスト #artober #craftober #challenge #handmade #japaneseaesthetic #japanesetraditions #手作り #amphibious #salamander #水陸両用 #山椒魚 #サンショウウオ https://www.instagram.com/p/CGnB1DAAlaf/?igshid=1puzxw65075eh

Day 14 - Pampas grass The design is traditional but rather then using iridescent wired petals, I used tsumami zaiku ones. Oh and it a mini one. #tsumamizaikumonth #tsumamizaiku #つまみ細工月 #つまみ細工 #つまみ細工コンテスト #日本つまみ細工コンテスト #artober #craftober #challenge #handmade #japaneseaesthetic #japanesetraditions #手作り #pampasgrass #miniflower #maiko #パンパスグラス https://www.instagram.com/p/CGX7-V0HxRG/?igshid=84jzyf648mxu
