Keeping Pace

Contemporary Woven Boro has me on fire with design ideas. Such a pleasure to be 'weaving' again and working in a way that feels native. I am keeping up between my two classes, but dividing my time means less experimentation in either one, overall. Here are some various cords and braids I machine stitched
using a variety of materials. I also completed my thread painted flower - it takes a long time to fill a three or four inch diameter!

Thankyou - as with most things to do with fibre, the possibilities are endless for cords! Do you have your cords on your blog and if so, what entry?

yvonne, no, not on my blog. the class was taken pre-blog. i'll see if i can find any pictures. if i do, i'll post them.
