bright colors, brilliant weather

After this crazy warm-cold warm-cold weather it's time to make the color commitment to bright and happy!

warm blues, soft rose reds and bright budding greens are twilling on three looms! the blues will undulate,  roses will point and diamond and the greens and violets will double up in double weave.

should be some fun weaving in between residencies and workshops. I do love those workshops with drawing, painting, dyeing and weaving.

join us at Studio107 for workshops in Gourd Embellishment, Choctaw Elbow basket and Stained glass! visit the blog #funatstudio107.blogspot.com

my pocket posts for me now, hence the title of this post! lol
someone apparently needs to!!!

So, off we go.
May was a superwonderfulslammed month
Had a lovely time  with the students at Terry Sanford High School and their art teacher Kellie Perkins! I mean a terrrrrrific time! Fayetteville has a lot to offer and I'd never had the chance to see much before-- the students made some really nice pieces and they were very brave to try things that they had not experienced.

If that sounds shallow... let me 'splain,  Lucy!!!

 I've had a chance to bring weaving to a variety of venues... community, schools, demonstrations, festivals... and I LOVE when people want to try it. really.. i just don't bring something i cant share! (this is a point for when you meet me at one of these events... i just bring stuff that i CAN share, not the special orders so be fearless and weave with me!!!) It takes a bit of bravery to try something outside of your comfort zone.. and that ability to try is what brings our spice to life, new ideas and stuff to experience plus helps us keep developing in our process of being human. To quote my best man Leonard Cohen in Anthem
"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in. "


Thanks again to the Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County for funding here and at Edwin Baldwin Elementary (in January 2017- and these guys were so fun, wonderful teacher there, too!

Ms. Bahkakh is so good with her students) to work with these wonderful people!!!


And then... I was able to get the Wolf started at Walkertown!! This one is almost ready to photograph and I'll share that soon. Thanks again to the WSFC Arts Council and WSFC Schools  


and now we are in June, documenting all the stuff we did in May!
