Christmas Gift

First the warp:

Then the weave:

Merry Christmas!

In the summer our fig tree has fruit every 

4th of July.

Till then it makes a good prop!

The first warp I ever wound (in my third weaving class at 'The Weavin' Place')...

Turned into this!  A birthday present for Carolyn...  Looks beautiful with her blue eyes!

Maybe the thing that I enjoy the most about weaving is that there is nothing 'fast' about it.  There is a pace to it -a sloooooow pace.  There's no point in rushing because... What?  You cut an hour off of a 40 hour project?  I might as well just let it take the time it takes.

This is my loom.  It's a Saori WX60.  It's portable so I can bring it on Weaving Retreat Weekends.  I bought it from The Weavin' Place.  (It's wonderful!)

There are people who have changed the course of my life.  Two of those people are Cheryl Dunworth and Jenny Pelc.  They own 'The Weavin' Place' in Folsom Louisiana.  They are patient, generous and loving instructors/weavers/artists.  They have given me peace.  They have enriched my life.  This is how to find them.
