It started with a lot of dark threads in the warp,, and I kept cutting them out and replacing with light
And then, because I had time while the slow weavers were finishing up, I did a little shibori experimenting in the indigo vat. Lordy how I enjoyed that class!
And now I go out into another new day. Today, I'm going to buy some new clothes. Everything in my closet has salad-dressing stains on the chest.
(One of the trials of having a bosom. When I was thin, all the salad dressing stains went into my lap and if I was smart, I already had a napkin there.)
(One of the trials of having a bosom. When I was thin, all the salad dressing stains went into my lap and if I was smart, I already had a napkin there.)Do you have a totem animal?
Mine is a horse, and Scott's is an owl. Whenever I am struggling with something, a horse comes to me in my dreams. Scott has the same thing with owls. A horse even showed up in my aura photo and an owl in Scott's. Very fascinating!
ReplyDeleteI love your project!!! I'll bet you had a blast in your class and it looks like a nice work of art.
The scarf is really pretty - what a great experiment/sampler!!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a totem animal. Maybe one will make itself apparent one of these years.
Wow! Your weaving is so amazing. I have several totem animals. One is the spider, both for weaving and for spinning (yarn and yarns!). Another is the cow. This one was given to me by other after I gave a talk on piety and talked about, what else, cow piety. The third is the armadillo, all armor on the outside, soft underbelly protected by curling up in a ball. Yep. That's me.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 totem animals--cats and unicorns.
ReplyDeleteI took one of those online quiz things once and it said my spirit animal is a grizzly bear. Needless to say, this amused my family to no end and they STILL make claws and growl at me when I'm trying to make a point. They seem to think Teddy Bear is more my speed than grizzly.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I've ever thought in terms of totem animals (btw, Pk says he's "athlete's foot bacteria"; he's a Pisces, too).
I love your fish wall hanging. It's amazing what you do with some threads, isn't it?
I had my cards read by a woman who told me my totem was the dragonfly, and while I never quite believed that, it makes sense, as I seem to have lived a lot of my life in some sort of dream. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour jacket reminds me of a pair of pants I once covered with embroidery. It's too bad, however, that they are a size 8. :-) Never wear THOSE again!
Pearl
p.s. Is that a cabbage leaf on your head?
Probably a cat...although Kat once gifted me a butterfly....
ReplyDeleteI love love love that weaving!
Goats. My totem animal MUST be goats... I always seem to see souls in goats...
ReplyDeleteWow! Your weaving is gorgeous! That needs to be permanently displayed in your home.
ReplyDeletePenguins are awesome; but not so sure it's my totem. The quick quiz I took says I'm an Eagle... I guess that's a bird and counts.
ReplyDeleteYour fishies are so cool!
ReplyDeleteI really like the weaving. I like tone-on-tone, anyway, but in this case, it really does look like water.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's my totem, but flamingo objects frequently follow me home. What on earth could that say about me?
Wow. Spectacular weaving. Just beautiful. Heavens, you're the whole package. You can cook and weave. Thank heavens you don't make your own clothes or I'd be uber jealous. Say, why don't you just stop eating salads, then you wouldn't have to shop.
