I use yarn to paint the texture, color and dimension of my feelings and ideas.
My handmade tapestry loom has no moving parts, no heddle, no shuttles, no clinking pieces of metal, and stands where I can work or look as I please. Weaving is the only aspect of my life not subject to other peoples' opinions. There is no schedule to meet, no date by which I must be finished. When the slow, peaceful pace works its way from the threads through my fingers into my being, all is well. |
