weaving with words
February 8, 2014
the weaving vocabulary can seem daunting to beginners – like learning a foreign language
sleying the reed
tying on and adjusting the tension
doing the same on my floor loom
it is much easier with more space to work in
warping back to front
with the raddle and lease sticks in place
I have a 16 harness/shaft loom
with texsolv heddles
not only is it confusing to students but spellcheck is most unhappy!

think I’ll make a copy and hang it on the loom
have to find my lipstick first!

Uh-oh! I don’t ever wear lipstick! Will lipbalm do? That admonition so cracks me up. My husband would not be alarmed at coming home and finding dishes in the sink. He’d think it was just an ordinary day at our house! However there is great truth in having the right mindset when you are creating.

Louisa – you and me both, I just don’t need a clean dress and mascara to warp the loom . How times have changed.
