It Isn’t Finished Until…
..it’s wet finished. Or in reality, for someone who wants to sell their work, until it’s sold. One of the things that I’ve been doing for the past few months is remembering. Remembering how Magic came to be – and how many years it took. Remembering all the different shows I (we) did. How…

Onwards
The smoke is back. It was worse this morning than it is now but it is coming in from the north and managing to catch us in it’s ‘skirts’. It could be worse further east and definitely worse further north which is where the current smoke plume is coming. So far we’ve been lucky,…

Ego
12 more towels pressed, ready for hemming This morning I spent about an hour pressing 12 more towels. They came off the loom last Friday, got run through the washing machine on Thursday after burling (inspection) and mending, then finally got pressed today.

Spreading the Word
Writing a book is a lot like weaving a cloth. There are tons of things that must happen long before anyone can see the vision you have in your mind. For me, getting the cover made seems to bring the project slightly more into the realm of reality. Finally something to really grab hold…

Proprioception
Proprioception, or kinesthesia, is the sense that lets us perceive the location, movement, and action of parts of the body. It encompasses a complex of sensations, including perception of joint position and movement, muscle force, and effort. I didn’t know what the word proprioception was until someone said I had it. It’s a ‘fancy’ word for…

Memories
You Tube Video Brains do ‘interesting’ things, sometimes for no reason, sometimes for a reason you don’t understand. So this morning, half awake, a memory came to me about the time I was hosting Nell Znamerowski (spelling?) as she did a tour round northern BC. Turned out she was here over Canadian Thanksgiving, and the…
