I started a sock for the Sock 'n Glove Ministry, while listening to the latest Contrarian, with founders Jen Rubin and Norm Eisen discussing the felon's current edicts. Reliable reporting coupled with making. A win.
Another day of excitement, Gary taking all kinds of trouble to get me a battery, so now we hope it's done. He wants to take it to the dealership to get them to tighten it in place better, so I'm good with that. Some technicality about the terminals.
And Textiles and Tea brought Molly Elkind, a former tapestry weaver now weaving in paper, after a shoulder injury stopped her tapestry work.
She uses 140lb water color paper, painted then sliced into strips then overpainted then rewoven. Definitely worth visiting her website.
I used to do paper weaving, with paintings and photographs, and taught a couple of community classes at the library to kids. They love paper weaving, worth it to try if you have grandchildren.
Even quite young children can manage it if you tape down the top of the strips to keep them still. I used my little paper shredder, which cuts strips with sawtooth edges, very handy for keeping the strips snugly together.
Happy day, everyone, get weavin'!
