Whee!
It's a heat wave. Got all the way up to +5F this afternoon and only went down to -2F so far tonight. Tomorrow we're supposed to make it into the 20s.
Finished the weaving workshop in great shape, with my project piece almost done (hope to get it completed this weekend, while I'm on a roll) and some valuable new insight. The other two workshops I've taken have been fun and inspiring, but this one really made light bulbs go off. Several bits of knowledge that I already had congealed into ways to leverage that knowledge into creative output. Best of all, I learned to design at the loom, creating new shapes and imagery on an already threaded warp. No painstaking draft, no following a chart, just a new freedom to play. It's like getting wings.
Photos of the finished table runner shortly.
