Off my loom

Here's a wee silk cuff (or maybe bookmark) that I recently took off my loom.  I’m not exactly sure how I’ll finish it yet (on a brass cuff or with clasp hardware?), but I knew I had to get it off the loom before my flight back to NYC from Vancouver Canada since the dressed loom wouldn’t fit in my bag.  It was the most relaxing (beach-filled!) summer in my home town and now I really feel like we’ve left our poosaster in the past (if you’re not into reading my long poosaster post, the gist is that we moved three times and endured many other stresses while moving to the USA from Canada with our infant, Sam, last year).  With lots of help from my parents I was able to pull off teaching some natural dye and print workshops this summer too!  Here is a really nice post about one by my student, Heather Apple.

here I am the night before we fly, madly trying to finish my tapestry ends before Sam wakes up.
