The final day of the workshop I got in a brief walk before returning to more rolling - startling a flock of pigeons into flight, finding some leaves to try in a dye bath and enjoying the peaceful beauty.
Here is my shawl before and after the shrinking that occurred as I continued to roll it, check it and add friction, heat, water and soap. You can see how you need a large space to do one of these - and a good amount of time.
The texture and colour of both sides is quite different and it's reversible if I want a more muted look.
Here it is on me - and I really love it and plan to make more. I may need to do smaller pieces
for now - but I also could get a table to set up temporarily and one of my sons is moving out next month and then I will really have room!

wow. it's gorgeous. nice to be able to say you made it.
What a lovely wrap made from your heart and time....precious time...time to roll and roll and roll. Pure expansion of light and shadow. Peace, Mary Helen
It's beautiful, I love the way you have wrapped it around yourself. How lovely to be wrapped in ones own art.
wonderful,heartfelt work.
lovely range of colors. really strong expression of your work.
Yvonne, such a lovely piece of work!!! And I fully expect it's the first of many!! I can't wait to see it 'for real'. Have fun.
Thank you everyone!
