  3. Thank you both for your compliments. I've come a long way since my first time splitting bamboo while wearing rubber gloves back in April last year, but it feels like that was only a few months ago.

    After school ends I plan to continue the blog, reporting on my continued studies in bamboo basketry. Caitlyn and I will have our wedding in the US this coming October, so we plan to move back to her home town of Albuquerque in August. From there I'm not sure how my bamboo project will develop but I'll continue making baskets and start the long journey of designing my own. Not to mention, we also hope to visit you guys in North Carolina! Keep in touch!
