I got a phone message in early October from her, saying she wanted to talk about making katazome vestments for her. Needless to say, this was a big surprise. So, with some trepidation I called her back. She explained that she is Japanese American and that her sister had found my website and they were persuaded that I was the perfect, perhaps the only, person who could make a set of vestments for her installation as Bishop for the Diocese of Oregon in late January. She has a deep reverence for the natural world which she wanted reflected in her vestments. She knew nothing really about katazome except that it was a traditional Japanese technique and she thought based on what she had seen that it could be used to produce the imagery she wanted.
