Bamboo, Day Five

Bamboodayfive

It felt very good to get back to the loom this morning, after a severe hangover from too much of a certain British miniseries. 

A note that the work pictured above was created largely in Photoshop, both the imagery and the weave structures, which are various granite weaves. This seems like a good time to remind my readers that I'll be teaching a class in Photoshop for Weavers at Penland School August 25-31. Click here and scroll all the way down. This will be total immersion in Photoshop for dobby weavers and jacquard weavers, in the most gorgeous natural setting you could imagine: the North Carolina mountains. Get away for a week of pixels, with like-minded folks, and enjoy the scenery and the good food. Bring a companion—they might enjoy taking a class, too! Many offerings available in all media. More information and registration forms here.
