On wabi and sabi and more.

From Ali's post here, I have been applying wabi and sabi to everything very loudly and explaining it to everyone I meet. Particularly wabi, which is the flaw that makes something unique and special. I have had much joy learning a word for something I already thought. I need another word in the same vein though, a word that describes a small perfect detail only you know about that fills you with pride in your work. Like having the back of the cross-stitch all neat. Using expensive organic free range eggs in a cake. Or today's example, changing the kerning to remove a ligature.
