手染書籤 － 蓮香方勝
(version française en bas)
棉、繡線、紙板
15 x 4.5 cm
婁文越工作室
2016
終於完成這個手染書籤的訂單。五種顏色，共五十個手染、手縫的布書籤。主題以蓮花跟方勝為主來設計；而顏色的部分，前後反覆試了多次，才有這些比較滿意的結果。籤首飾以自製流蘇，被包在反面，未現於圖中。
這份書籤是要送給來幫祖母助念的法鼓山蓮友的。蓮花是佛教聖物，方勝中藏有佛教八寶之一、代表吉祥與佛法貫徹永恆的盤長，與禮佛時使用的樂器磬。
這次的書籤圖案是用雕刻紙型而染就的型染，不過圖案沒有以往清晰、細緻，還需要找出原因。也許下次會試試看用絹版，期待能有更清晰穩定的圖案線條。
最後，請來猜猜看吧！
這五種顏色系列，用了幾種不同的植物染出來的呢？

Je viens de finir cette commande de cinquante marque-pages teints et cousus à la main. Au milieu, nous trouvons les motifs de lotus et de fang-sheng (方勝).
Le client a choisi cinq couleurs que j’ai trouvées après nombreux essais. Et chaque marque-page a un gland de décoration, aussi fait à la main, au bout du haut cachant à l’envers.
Dans la seconde photo, nous trouvrons les pochoirs que j’ai dessignés et gravés. Le lotus est le symbole sacré bouddhiste. Et le fang-sheng est originairement une accessoire de coiffure pour l’ancêtre féminin du chinois. Puis, il est devenu un symbole de bon augure signifiant aussi l’éternité et le complet de la philosophie bouddhiste.
Enfin, je vous invite à deviner: combien de plantes diférentes ont été utilisées afin de teindre ces cinq séries de couleur?
洋蔥染手工書籤－「雲香」
(Version française en bas)
棉布、繡線
15 x 4.5 cm
祥雲蓮花，是刻出版型並處理後，再用洋蔥染，並以不同媒染劑處理而成。但雲紋部分因為紋樣過細，效果不是很好，故改為用手繪，倒也添了一些趣味。
“Parfum de nuage” - marque-pages à la teinture d’ognion
Tissu de coton, fil à border
15 x 4.5 cm
Le dessin originaire est gravé sur un carton. À cause de la finesse de nuage, le stencil n’a pas pu apporter un effet idéal. J’ai donc dessiné cette partie un par un à la main. Cela a apporté un peu de curiosité...

You should be able to rot in bed for 2, maybe 3 hours after waking up before it starts affecting what time it is. If I wake up at 8:30 and lie in bed for 2hr it should still be 8:30 when I get up
purity culture ruins people’s ability to engage with works that deal with serious issues and it’s disheartening to see people entirely miss the point of a work because they are guided by a knee jerk reaction towards disgust and I need to ramble
so, I’m reading a book called Jawbone by Monica Ojeda and it’s a very interesting horror novel that centers around puberty and teen girls and their relationships to their mothers. One of the bigger themes in the book is the idea of shame revolving around sexual development. One of the main characters is a young lesbian who is developing feelings for her best friend and has a mother who is incredibly homophobic and disapproving and in part of the book there’s a scene where this character talks about her mother catching her masturbating and the way that she is disgusted by her daughter and kind of this horror around being viewed as having lost your innocence from experiencing something that is common and should be mundane. sexual development is seen as a horrific and sinful action and that causes this character trauma through the rest of the book surrounding the way that her mother looks at her and how her mother is going to react when she finds out that she’s gay it’s a book that deals with a lot of topics around sexual shame. For example, another character is so terrified of the sin of masturbation that she keeps herself from masturbating by imagining being raped by men in her family who she cares about because it disgusts her and keeps her from achieving sexual arousal. the book itself shows that the action of the character masturbating when she’s six years old is an innocent action. It’s one that comes from curiousity and just what happens when you have a body. The book is very clear that the act is being sexualized by the adults around her and their reactions feel violating.
So it is infuriating to then go from reading this book to trying to read reviews of this book and finding that the first review on Goodreads is a one star review that just says “in this book a six-year-old masturbates 🤮” participating in the same disgust with the natural sexual development of young girls that the book itself tries to depict as a horrifying and violating way to view children and puberty
I remember once sort of sitting down and thinking, ‘I am terribly depressed and this can not go on…’ and then I thought, ‘Well, you can do two things. You can kill yourself or you can get interested in absolutely everything.’ I read the newspaper every day; I read scientific books and geographical books and historical books and books in other languages, as well as the books that professionally I had to read, and suddenly the world became wonderful.

Sorry to break it to you but you literally have to face your fears and slaughter them. Otherwise you will live a small life that you do not want. You literally have to view your biggest fears and attack them head on. You have to fall into the abyss to find your way out. The easy path does not exist. There is no get out of jail free card. You have to allow yourself to die a spiritual death over and over again in order to reinvent yourself into the person you are actually supposed to be. And you have to be painfully honest with yourself and the people around you. It’s horrible but it’s truly the only way.
