    Happy May Day! I had a busy weekend at home both playing under eucalyptus trees and experimenting with weaving young branches trimmed from them. I’ve enjoyed incorporating bits of the natural world in my weavings. I’ve also been thinking a lot about marketing and displays. And using what I have. I’ve noticed that eucalyptus has…

    At the end of last week, I had a consultation with Denise Gasser, an artist I started following on Instagram. I’m pretty sure I learned about her and her work from listening to a Creative Ways podcast. It was awesome to talk with her and have her help me figure out some issues I’ve been…

    I enjoyed my last branch weaving so much that I’ve started another one. Can you guess what it’s going to be? I am pretty excited to see how this one will turn out.

    So I finished my tapestry of Grogu this past week. I think he looks great. I wish I felt happier, but I am still weaving the website and getting entangled with woo commerce (the online store). It seems to be listing some stuff correctly, but it’s not all together yet. Once I get it figured…

    I posted on Instagram last Friday that I thought I would be finished with Grogu this week. Alas, I misjudged time once again. This is what it currently looks like. I want to finish the top with a darker blue color that I do not yet have. And I need to finish the stitching around…

    And I now have a professional email. I’ve made some decisions about selling online and where to concentrate my efforts. I’ve decided to shut down the Shopify store. I put some effort into setting it up and learned some good things, but I’ve decided to build what I want from this site. In fits and…

    My current work in progress is a tapestry of Grogu (aka Baby Yoda). I’m really pleased with how it’s turning out. I am learning as I am going. Each piece is unique and brings its own challenges. I’m happy with how his first hand came out. I’ve never worked with a template before. I’ve also…

    The very first weaving I made on my tapestry loom was a free form piece I have hanging above my bed. It was mostly an experimentation of fibers and getting a feel for weaving. I intentionally chose fibers of various thicknesses just to see how they would go together knowing that others would likely find…
