Now for some random things.
Here is a project I just put on my loom, I am using my own handspun cotton mixed in with a little bit of commercial yarn. These will be dishtowels. The colors are naturally colored cotton except for the blue which is made from recycled blues jeans and white cotton blended together. There are various shades of brown and green cotton and some blends.
We have a Swainsons hawk nesting in one of our trees. There are two babies in the nest. You can see both of them in this picture
In this one the little critter is looking right at us. They are in a very tall tree.
Nice links, Kate. I like the idea of using Google maps to find something to draw.
ReplyDeleteThe dish towel weaving looks fantastic! I love the colors you're using.
And how cute that you got a shot of the babies in their nest.
