Contortions

Here comes the sun. This is easy enough to see if you are standing in the right place.

But it gets challenging if you try to look up at the sky while in an upright position. Very risky, actually. It was worth it.

You can be a contortionist if you try to photograph the reverse side of the cloth as it approaches the cloth beam. This is not as risky, especially in a carpeted room, as you are closer to the floor and don't have as far to fall.

No contortions necessary when photographing the top side. More blended overshot and rosepath. 

In the Department of Books, I just finished reading The History of Love by Nicole Krauss. Moving, funny, surprising, suspenseful.

Another Point of View

The stitched piece is finished and will sit for a while until it decides what will happen to it next. 

There was no attempt to bury the knots. Rough and ready. Just keep that needle going.

When I held it up against the light, it became a different story altogether. 

Maybe the view out the airplane window during the trip I didn't take this year?

In Limbo

Hard to believe that on the morning of January Sixth I was talking about dishtowels. Then all h**l broke loose. 

Obsessively stitching. Can't keep still. 

Cleaning up the studio.

Gazing out the window.

Finally put on a new warp this morning. A little sample of a new blended draft. Rosepath and overshot. The overshot is an original draft, entitled LinenPants. On this 8-shaft threading one could weave rosepath, overshot, or plain weave. Imagine.
