First Snow at My New Home

There is something about the way snow smells that made me stick my head out my classroom window and just breathe it in when I really should have been weaving. Instead of carrying my tired body home after a long long day at school I found my feet drawing in the snow.

Inside Day









Today was more of an indoor day.

When I did venture out, I wound my 36 foot warp for a sculpture I'm working on. The sculpture will be a hand dyed wool woven felted mountain that has been cut in thirds revealing the layers of the earth.

I also took some photographs of samples I've woven.
The hairy looking weave includes two color ways of a shag rug sample. The black, white & red weave are experiments with creating my own treddling sequences in combination with different tie-ups. The blue & golden one is a honey-comb weave sample where I played with colors.
