tuesday morning



often times, the studio is a world of obstacles. it's a laboratory where experiments can falter or present unforeseen snags. if there were no studio, one might live in a world of no challenge. the studio presents hundreds of chances to practice patience, determination and observation.

the warp sampler i am working, for example, brings seven different ways a warp end can get stuck, fray, or snap. i am seriously considering converting to string heddles. these metal ones act like razor blades on the rayon ends.

i'm looking forward to setting up the rug loom in the near future. a friend may be able to help... i give thanks to all of my friends, family and teachers for their encouragement and support.
