Kumihimo braids, Japan travel, Warhammer nonsense. I was AlbertAn before I became an Albertan.
A Tohoku themed sip: urushi kakuhai from @matsuzawa.bsky.social and red lacquered guinomi from Tekiseisha in Iwate; sake from next door in Akita prefecture in a souvenir ‘barrel’.

A few highlights of this trip so far. Morioka for coffee and crafts, riding the world’s most beautiful train, and time in the countryside. #Iwate #Akita

Exciting new acquisition for my guinomi collection. It’s from a small studio in Iwate that does maki-e on top of nambu ironware.

Arrived at Morioka! Chatting with @matsuzawa.bsky.social and reading a bit convinced me this was a town worth checking out.

The brand synergy… It’s real! #Timbits

Just what the neighbourhood cat ecosystem needs: an Orange.

#yegfringe Fear Fables

A drag show with excellent costumes, great choreography, and heavy metal music. What’s not to love?

Local Edmonton artists with some really cool copper+enamel jewelry and decoration. Have a peek in their booth as you walk by!

#yegfringe Snafu Sexy Puppet Show aka Epidermis Circus 2

This is Weirdos doing genuine genius level innovation in puppetry performance. She makes characters out of her hands in ways you can never imagine.

Hilarious. Astounding. More than a little cursed.

👶👶👶👶👶+. Find a time and go. Just do it.

This Escalated Quickly.

(I have also emailed the #yegfringe folks asking if they have API access to the schedule, or at least a big ol' CSV, so I can slice and dice it how I want to)

Ah, yes, I also “accidentally” planted a bunch of catnip in my yard.

My first real commission has finally found its way home. I braided the sageo cord tied to this real 500 year old katana.

It’s a bit in the nose, but has to argue with a classic archetype. @paulisci.bsky.social

Edmonton opera’s Die Walkure — the intimate theatre suits this opera so well. Production was spare but sufficient. Cast brought out great singing and acting. Highly recommended. #yeg

I guess I’m lumping in two comparable builds that also seem to come with an RSM rezoning (or at least have the sign board for it) like this 4+3 at 11310 72 Ave NW

Post a random photo otherwise everything goes wrong in June.

Wait which OT are we talking about?

Did anyone else catch the Medieval Times pre-show with a Golden Knight vs an Oilers Assassin? And with a dragon? I didn’t just hallucinate it? #oilers

This piece of public art (slash glitch in the matrix) kept me occupied for a very long time.

A lovely new acquisition Urushi Katakuchi from @matsuzawa.bsky.social paired with two Wajima-nuri cups.

Bonus round: my dog-cousin River, not particularly interested in playing with the puppy.
