Ode to Gunta


The primary benefit of practicing any art, whether well or badly, is that it enables one’s soul to grow.
                                                                                                           —Kurt Vonnegut Jr


After reading about the role of women at the Baushaus I wanted to try to interpret some of the principles in wedge weave.  The minimalist style of design embraced ideas of functionality and true materials. Bauhaus artists favored linear and geometric designs, line, shape and colors were the focus.  The stripes of Gunta Stoltz above are a prime example.


Finished.  Not sure Gunta would appreciate this interpretation of her work.  However, it was an exercise in emphasizing line and color.


Our tapestry study group met today.  I love the opportunity to weave together.

Working hard!


I love these colors!


Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.
