Active Assignment Weekly: Repeat after me. Rocks and waves. What it took: Colour correction. A very small amount of cloning on a rock.
The beaches on the West coast of the South Island are whipped by the violence of the waves, creating layers of mist that blur the rocks in the background.
Vegetation by the coast is particularly green with the frequent rain. The ground has a dense cover of flax, fern and many trees.
This is an ANTIQUE Japanese Kurotomesode. Kurotomesode are formal kimono for married women. Nowadays they are mostly worn by the mother of the bride at weddings. This kimono likely originates in the Taisho Period (1912 - 1926). This kurotomesode features dynamic waves, treasures and pictures books. Some of the patterns are accented in gold couching. This kimono is unusually long for a kimono from the Taisho Period, so it may be a hikizuri; a long kimono that is meant to be worn trailing. This kimono has five kikyou (chinese bell flower) crests.
I have inspected this kimono in detail, and there is some damage. There are a number of stains on the exterior, however many of them are well camouflaged by the pattern around the skirt. The gold embroidery has come loose in a number of places, but this can be easily repaired with a few stitches. There are also some faint marks on the lining. I have circled the damages in the photos above. Overall, I would rate this kurotomesode in fair antique condition. This garment is 100% silk.
MEASUREMENTS:
175cm - Long (Collar to Hem)
128cm - Arm span
62cm - Width across the back
134cm - Total width of skirt
49cm - Sleeve drop
SIZING:
If you are unsure of how to interpret the kimono's size it is important to know that the length (collar - hem) should be approximately 10cm longer to 10cm shorter than the wearer's overall height (longer is better). This is because the excess length will be folded up at the waist. Meanwhile, the skirt should wrap around the hips a full 1.5 times. The armspan should also reach wrist to wrist on the wearer. In this case, the kimono will ideally fit a woman about 165cm (5'4") - 185cm (6'1") tall, with hips about 90cm (35.5") around. If it is worn hikizuri style with the hem trailing, the garment should be equal to the wearer's height or up to 30cm longer. So in that case it would ideally fit a women who is 145cm (4'9") - 175 (5'8"). This kimono will ideally fit a woman with hips about 93cm (37") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.
Wave Lace Socks by Evelyn A. Clark in IWK Spring 04. Project details on my blog.
Does this qualify for the "It ain't easy being green" theme in Socktopia March? (Okay, it's more like "it ain't easy being aqua"...)
This was actually Shay's idea! We took at least 12 photos, but only this one actually managed to catch the water!
20+ knot winds made KAP difficult at best, but the wind across Kua Bay was steady enough to fly a Flowform 8 and lift my BBKK rig. At times, though, the rig was at risk of catching surf spray.
Number three in a series of wave abstracts.
I couldn't get a lot of height because of the high wind speed and the low line angle on my only high wind kite, my Flowform 8. So I spent time playing with the waves.
Equipment Used:
Kite - Flowform 8 + 15' Fuzzy Tail
Line - #200 Dacron
Rig - R/C BBKK
Camera - Canon A650IS

Marina Waves. The sun had just set when I took this HDR set. The lights on this tower keep changing.

Every breaking wave on the shore
Tells the next one there'll be one more
And every gambler knows that to lose
Is what you're really there for
Summer I was fearless
Now I speak into the answer phone
Like every falling leaf on the breeze
Winter wouldn't leave it alone
Alone
If you go?
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so?
Are we so helpless against the tide?
Baby every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing
Every breaking wave
Every sailor knows that the sea
Is a friend made enemy
And every shipwrecked soul, knows what it is
To live without intimacy
I thought I heard the captain's voice
But it's hard to listen while you preach
Like every broken wave on the shore
This is as far as I could reach
If you go?
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so?
Are we so helpless against the tide?
Baby every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing
Every breaking wave
The sea knows where are the rocks
And drowning is no sin
You know where my heart is
The same place that yours has been
We know that we fear to win
And so we end before we begin
Before we begin
If you go?
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so?
Are we so helpless against the tide?
Baby every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing
Every breaking wave
