Ep 3: Kesi Weaving

Kesi is an ancient weaving technique with a history over 2000 years that is exclusive to China and is ireplicable by machines. Unprocessed silk is used for the warp and colorful processed silk for the weft. The warp is used across and the weft at places in a silk tapestry. Kesi craftsmen use their shuttle as a pen and perfectly combined silk tapestry, painting and calligraphy.

A lot of valuable and classy tapestry appeared in Song dynasty. That's when the saying "An inch of Kesi is worth ten ounces of gold" originated.

Magpies on branches are coming out of the white silk.

I have long heard Kesi is hard.

And for anything that is produced in my regin,

Do not take it as ordinary needlework.

-Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of Song

Ep 4: Kesi (Cont.)

Song Dynasty was the peak of ancient Kesi's development. It was exquisite in color and basing a Kesi off of a famous painting was popular. Some of these would take months or even years to complete. This period saw emergence of Kesi masters like Zhu Kerou and Shen Zifan.

Blending paintings and embroidery into Kesi appeared in Qing Dynasty which enriched its expression. But some people over abused this which damaged Kesi's artistic values and characteristics. There's no shortcuts in Kesi.

Regular Kesi that is made by connecting the warp and cutting the weft is consistently-double sided. Breaking the tradition by making both sides look different is a recent attempt in Kesi, which was inspired by Suzhou differently-double sided embroidery.

This was a good ep, check it out for more backstories and beautiful visual storytelling that I cannot capture through transcribing.

Reintroducing Andrite and Tero’Ra, I present the ‘stuck in development hell’ original character donut steal Kesi, an oc that was made before I turned my ‘thep khufan aren’t an alien species’ Mutants and Magic au as my default Ben 10 ocverse so she stopped being Kesiris.

#andrite #kesi #tero'ra #oc #ben 10 oc #ben 10 #fanart #you have no idea who kesi is because i have not spoken about her #she is a seamstress and has always been conceptualised AS a seamstress #however she was a thep khufan seamstress that had an ectonurite assistance (tero'ra) who would do the heavy lifting #when i both decided i wanted to make even os more mutant and magic (a la au) and then decided to make it an oc verse #(this oc verse including annie and thus the andromeda 5 thus the heavily magic mutant and neurodivergent plagued ra'ad reliant on this au)#i was left with a character i couldn't (in my head) talk about anymore because i had written out her entire backstory #but looking into who were actually mummified (the mummification process including magic being the justification of the os mummy up and out)#commoners could be mummified even if it is exorbantly expensive #so kesi was a seamstress that instead of being on earth as an alien- she is a seamstress from over 5000 years ago in modern era #some fuck head did what some fuck head does and awakens a mummy- kesi wakes up pissed that her work is being stolen #then she realises that her family scrounged up enough coin to afford a mummification for her- someone who died a little bit too soon #and she sets up a business that welcomes aliens (especially for a work seeking ghost and a dysphoric rock) because how human is she #also they are a poly thems the rules i don't know what to tell ya #a trio braincells on their OWN perhaps but when in the same room? defenestration #it's been so long since the last i've [drawn my alien(adjacent) ocs] lost to this monster the [magic and mutants au]
