"I am a weaver who can only wait with a weaver's heart."

— from Songi's poem The River of Stars (from "Songs of the Kisaeng: Courtesan Poetry of the Last Korean Dynasty", translated and introduced by Constantine Contogenis and Wolhee Choe)

Unknown Gold - Acrylic and sculpy on pine wood

I grew up as a Korean kid in all Caucasian western new York state on 50 acres and saw mushrooms growing in the forest all the time. This Korean mushroom was hidden away in the remote forest, appearing bizarre and undesirable to the rural people who come would across it and pass it over, never knowing the golden potential that lies within. Chogak Bojagi 조각보 are Korean wrapping cloths made from discarded fabric scraps. In Korea Pine mushrooms 송이 can only grow on fallen ceadar and oak shaded by pine and are sometimes called gold in the forest because of their rarity and high value. Both chogak bo and songi mushrooms are reborn from unwanted matter. This Korean mushroom boy rose from decay and let his inner gold shine and I hope those of you out there know what's inside of you. 

It took hours to cut this in half with a hand saw and hours to carve out the middle cavities. So much sweat went into making this and it was quite the challenge.

My first first love spoilers ahead

But but how why what when did Taeo and Songi decide to be together? I feel like there were the separations from their previous partners and then??? nothing?? and suddenly they were in a relationship

So I’ve gotten back into Legend of Legaia again for some reason… and Songi’s final form is the creepiest transformation ever.

I liked him a little better outside of combat, but he still mocks Gala all the time so he doesn’t earn my sympathy when he dies after this fight.
