Setting the Stage

A little over a month ago I started weaving a striped piece. I was weaving with thread and an inch took too long for me. I loved the look however, tonight when I finally was free of homework (my first semester back in college) I decided the warp was coming off and to start another landscape. After many months of functional production, a month of school, every time I thought of weaving with monotony I'd turn right back out of the studio. I've secretly made a pact with myself. I need to uphold a studio practice. These stripes, although striking, were holding me back. Life's too short. I've saved it and may revisit if the feeling moves me so. As I worked tonight, I listened to Bjork. Emotional landscapes they pass over me. Here's to another exciting year.
