Tolstoy and Tapestry

Tolstoy said "Spring is the time of plans and projects."  We have had tastes of Spring, warm days, daffodils and birdsong but now are back to winter's chill.  Be done already!  The gloomy February days are reflected in my tapestry diary.

I started the diary on my birthday, January 28th.  The bowling pin and token represent my 62nd birthday party with family and friends, which was so much fun!  My plan for the tapestry diary is an entry per week. This picture is a couple of weeks ago.  I have some catching up to do.

My dear husband made me the loom using copper pipe and purpleheart wood as well as some new tapestry forks.

I love beautiful tools, using them brings joy.  Meeting with other tapestry weavers also brings me joy.  I am thankful to have found Triangle Weavers Guild and am loving our tapestry study group. Here are some pictures from our most recent session.

Tapestry is a relatively solitary endeavor but what a treat to have opportunities to weave together.  In addition to my guild, I also belong to Tapestry Weavers South TWS.  We currently have a show at the Folk Art Center  Go see it!
