Happy New Year! It matters not if it is a new decade or not, it is a New Year. Today, I made sure to spend time at the tapestry loom. It has been challenging to find time to weave other than weekends and holidays like today. My new role at work means more hours and energy spent at the office. It does make quiet moments to weave more precious.
I guess scarcity is a key determinant of value. Take for example the green strips of plastic pictured above. Once a plastic bag destined for the trash, I am now conserving each strip used and wondering how I can get more. Unlike, the numerous yellow and white bags in my stash... IT IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE!
I continue to weave with my handspun newspaper and plastic grocery bags and think about consumption in general. Most of us are pondering resolutions today. Do you have any tapestry resolutions? I was thinking about resolving to find my tapestry voice. But I think I already have.
May 2020 unfold with straight, even warp and colorful, interesting wefts for all of us.
