Some recent observations. A walk in the woods.
A jacquard sighting in a waiting room.
A walk around the lake this past weekend.
Another walk around the lake.
A new warp.
And something to really celebrate: we have unpacked the very last carton. All books and records are shelved. We pause now for some liquid refreshment!
Suddenly it's the season of bare branches. Instant pen and ink drawing.
In the studio, the warp separator paper has arrived, and I was able to beam the mixed handspun warp and begin weaving. For weft, I'm alternating some dark gray 2-ply handspun wool and grayish red commercially spun wool. It's going well.
Slow cloth. No deadlines. No stress.
I pass it every day on my walk. This morning the light was perfect, and I bring you this:
A replica of Thoreau's cabin on Walden Pond. According to Furman's website:
Built by students during May Experience 2009, the Thoreau Cabin is a replica of the cabin Henry David Thoreau lived in at Walden Pond. Students in the MayX read Walden while building the cabin by hand and gaining a deeper appreciation for the experiences Thoreau had. The cabin will now be used for classes and research.
I hope you all have a good holiday, and meet some new people. Be kind to one another.
If you have time, throw a few picks. Don't beat too hard.
