Ganz im Sinne des #WabiSabi repariere ich gerade eine meiner beiden Lieblingshosen. Alle anderen sind unbequem und doof.
Und ich liebe sie jetzt schon noch mehr als vorher. Dauert nur ziemlich. Ich sitze schon seit zwei Tagen dran. #VisualMending#Klamottenflicken#autorinnenleben
The phrase "wabi-sabi" is generally used to mean the beauty of imperfection, pertaining to an item that is imperfect or unfinished. However, says Paul S. Atkins, you won't find the term in a standard dictionary of the Japanese language. He writes for @TheConversationUS about where it came from and its connection with tea ceremonies, decay, and loneliness.

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold lacquer, the idea being that the flaws make the ceramics more beautiful and unique. It has its roots in the wabi-sabi philosophy of embracing imperfection. Here's a story from Gathered explaining how to try the technique at home.
"Potatoes in the Basket"
My love for still-life photography started with this photo. It has been hanging in my kitchen for years and I hope there will be someone who would also like this photo in their kitchen.
Finding inspiration in late fall/winter is not easy, at least for me. But it has become a bit easier since I look at everything through the prism of minimalism.
In a world often characterized by constant hustle and the pursuit of perfection, I prefer a refreshing perspective— an ode to the beauty of simplicity and imperfection, celebrating the inherent beauty found in the imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete aspects of life and finding beauty in the natural cycle of growth and decay.
Have a nice day! and enjoy the moments.
The older I am the less I am impressed by a lot of stuff. Maybe that's why I became interested in the wabi-sabi style and a simpler way of life. In the context of a simple life, Wabi-Sabi encourages us to savour the moment, find contentment in the ordinary and focus on what truly matters. This fall I am discovering the profound beauty of autumn leaves and I did not expect that it would be an almost poetic journey.
It's old photography but new work. It was a simple composition on a white background and the image was rather boring. Changing it to sepia and adding a texture gave it a new look. I like the vintage look that reminds me of old photographs.
To mark the transition into the second half of the solar year, we tend to things transient, unfinished, and overlooked. Some experiments and impressions of being with the world-at-large, foreshadowing the 'wabi sabi' reader from the @_foam Anarchive.
An invitation to wander, to watch and wait, noticing and letting things unfold. 🍂
