  • I’m just going to ramble on for a little while here. I will finish weaving “Migraine Day” today, but I’ve decided to experiment with this piece and make it part of a bigger piece about perception with stitching. It will remain on the loom for a while because I’m going to use the other side…

  • The next eleven days are reserved for Ms. Laurie O’Neill. Like much of the country, we are having usually high temperatures and lots of rain. These fog photos are from yesterday.
