crazy weaving

Despite the 3-4 feet of snow on the ground, there was much creativity to be had at the guild. The basics of drawing and such were a nice refresher as it's been a while since any formal art training came my way. With the "big" painting underway, Manda and I learned to weave on looms in the Fiber Arts Studio. This is also the building where our guest rooms were. It was very relaxing once I got past dressing the loom, which took me about 2.5 hours. Weaving also has a rhythm to it similar to a military cadence. The first project I did was a scarf that I gave to my wife, the others were stoles. Of course Manda thought I was going crazy on the loom, but I just wanted to make as many things while at the Guild.
