So even though I have a few projects in the works that I could be finishing up, I decided to try something new this past week – a larger circular weaving.

This is the first time I have tried this type of circular weaving. It’s both intuitive and based on a certain technique. The intuitive part is that I had no idea at the beginning what it might look like towards the end. I just knew that I wanted to use certain fibers and colors.

By the time I got this far, I had my first crescent shape and thought this work would be oriented towards the moon.

A week and a day later:

Last night, I knew that I wanted to add some some beads or buttons at this point and when I went through my supplies, I found a strand of star buttons I had made before leaving Arizona. I had also braided the bright blue, long strand many months ago, not knowing what it would be used for. This intuitive project goes back further than I originally guessed.

I’m pretty happy with how this is turning out so far.
