On one of my walks, I discovered a pile of discarded thread and brought it back to the studio. I have no idea what I might do but I respond to the colors, texture and how limp, gravity bound, and bodily the material is. When I cut a roll lengthwise, it pulls apart like muscle tissue. 
Geumcheon is a center for clothing manufacturing and I am wondering what other finds might be out there.....I will explore more tonight.
I have also learned the importance of not mixing Makkoli and Soju. Makkoli is a traditional drink first made by rice farmers and now popular enough to be considered the national drink. It is milky white in appearance, has an alcohol content of 10%, and can easily be found in every corner market. Very popular as well is Soju which is made from potatoes and is much like vodka in taste and appearance. Soju is leathal especially if you choose to drink with Makkoli....I did and lost a full day.
