Q – In answer to the question of “will there never be more?” / “are you ‘hanging it up’ for good?”
A - No, I don’t think I’m hanging up the sewing machine for good. I still have designs in me that I’d like to see come out. After a little break, I’ll be working on a few kites. The essence of the 61/49 and Ichiban are the only BMK kites that are moving forward with me. Those two will likely return in a modified and updated form. I have a list of stuff in the back of my head as long as my arm, and I hope to get to most of them some day.
My approach will be a little different. Instead of strictly making kites to order, I’ll be making what strikes me, and hoping it finds a home. Less “factory” and more “artist of sorts” (as my dear wife says). I have a couple other things coming up that I hope will pay the bills, so the kites can be mainly a creative outlet again. I’ll be sending an email to a mailing list every month, listing what’s available before it gets posted on my site. If you’re interested, you can subscribe to the list in the column to the right of this post. >>>
As you may know, I’ve decided to close my business, Blue Moon Kites. This has prompted a relative flood of kind words and good wishes. Thank you, one and all, for your thoughts.
I can say, that if it happens, the where(?) is here.
