busy, busy

My posts are always very intermittent--I've just been busy with warps for wool scarves and bookmarks and the VAAM Gallery blog. Last weekend was the "Artful Taste of Autumn" at John and Chris Hershberger's Italian villa! Beautiful! The art and the foods and the wines were superb! Last night, we had a great reception at the VAAM Gallery for the current show "Fiber Art - Form & Function" and "Art Inspired by the Blues." Met, connected, and reconnected with lots of interesting folks!
Now, to get ready for the Birger Sandzen Gallery gift show and the "Festive Holiday Market" at the McPherson Opera House! More photos are coming soon.

another shawl is finished...

This shawl is actually off the loom and all the fringes are knotted. Tonight I'll wash it. I know it looks a lot like the first one, but the weft is the cotton boucle alone. No intricate weave structure or pattern—just the texture of the eight different yarns in the warp and the boucle weft. I love texture!

I also have another wool scarf coming off the downstairs loom—tonight?
