July 8 - Windsock

“Listen to the wind, it talks. Listen to the silence, it speaks. Listen to your heart, it knows.”

~ Native American Proverb

Drills you run on a team, finger exercises for an instrument, it doesn't matter the discipline - they all start with a series of practice exercises designed to help train your mind and muscle memory.  I was told at one point as a kid that a ninja had string and unstring his bow 10000 times before he was allowed to pick up an arrow.

Chun-Lin, Sung taught a good number of weaving lessons in his Hahow series and just recently released a new one on distortion (available here).   I was looking back through some images and realized I hadn't shared one of his practice pieces from his weaving series.

Practice, practice, .... practice x 10000!
