This week was learn to spin on different models spinning wheels class. a new student said " I havent spun for over 20-25 years!" Lets look and see how this spinning student did and what she accomplished .
It is time for my annual self imposed challenge , my weave a yard a day for 30 day at this time of year. I take this all very seriously, and if I am busy one day unable to weave, i must weave ahead the previous day so I won't get behind. It becomes a integral part of my life. I may weave most days but something about focusing on this yard a day and always being prepared to weave is very centering.
i will need to wind several more warps to get my 30 yards besides dressing and threading the loom to keep up.
Winding my dragon"s scale cotton warp.

ReplyDeleteI love the colours you've chosen for your weaving.
Thank for your comments. Spinning is is so relaxing and when i have a chance to teach someone this ancient craft it is fulfilling for me as well.
DeleteMy textures and colors in my weaving come from dreams i have of designs and myths from the mists of my mind.
