Weaving For Purpose
After I published Magic in the Water I added a few more publications to my repertoire, also with actual handwoven samples. The above example was from A Vadmal Adventure, where my aim was mostly to experience a hammer mill and fulling wool using that tool. Someone asked on a group today if people weave…

July Sale
With the continuing uncertainty of (waves hands) it was a hard decision but I finally decided on having a July sale (as I usually do), but have it only available to Canadian addresses. (Europeans can contact me for shipping costs. I pretty much need to check, country by country and need to know the…

Kindness is a Tonic
In times of trouble… Things (waves hands) are very chaotic right now and no one knows what will happen, or even what they are seeing via the media and/or the internet is in any way, shape or form, accurate. I know this helpless feeling – it’s not ‘new’. In a life this long(ish) we…

Batter Is Not Cake
Ignore the darker blue on the right hand side – it is the shadow of the woven web above onto the web below. I’m kind of ‘famous’ for the phrase ‘it isn’t finished until it’s wet finished’. The internet will make certain people ‘notable’ because of something they say, and I’m (face it) a…

Ch-ch-changes
A while back, I made a series of rayon chenille and bamboo scarves with words as the design. This one is ‘Create Joy’. I’m registered for a class on Pain Management and last week they talked about mental health. Now, I’ve been to counselling, learned some really helpful stuff (no, it was not easy…

Tactile/Textiles
This is one of the towels I cut off the loom and wet finished (and hemmed last night) and really like. No, it’s not ‘perfect’. There are longer ‘loops’ at the selvedge than I would prefer, but they will still dry dishes. And at the rate I’m giving towels away right now (nothing is…

Ancient Does Not Equal ‘Primitive’
one of my books (available here) It’s really nice to see the influx of ‘new’ weavers into the online groups. It’s just really difficult to give meaningful answers to questions when they have little knowledge of the craft or its language. It is equally difficult to give answers that won’t offend the new weaver –…
