Well, I guess it’s about time for me to begin blogging in this space for realz. I’ve been manually transferring my posts from my former blog to here. Yes, I know that sounds obsessive and tedious. At first I was only going to do it for the past year, because I had back-up files for…

A Weaverly Path Trailer from Kenny Dalsheimer on Vimeo. It turns out that one of my favorite tapestry artists, Sylvia Heyden, lives in Durham and gets her inspiration from the Eno River. This is a trailer for a film made about her work.

The most wonderful thing about weekend mornings is that when I have a hot flash I can strip off all my clothes and stand in front of the open refrigerator. Last weekend I did get the studio cleaned up and the warp wound on my loom. I ended up going back to my original idea…
