"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Texture Weaving

I'm submitting my homework later this evening for the Conscious Creativity class....and at the last minute I added a bit of color and joy with a bit of a rainbow texture weaving.  

I used some of the magazine strips I cut for color week and wove in some words and fibers creating a colorful texture piece. 

I love that texture week took me here.



I'm so glad I added the words...I think the black and white makes the colors pop.


And this particular weaving tool made the project pretty simple.

It worked for both the paper and the fibers and I described it in detail here in this post: https://joyfulputtering.blogspot.com/2022/08/game-changer.html

Here's a wide view showing how I taped it onto a board.....now this colorful texture weaving just needs a good home.  And I have an idea.

    I have returned from a magnificent time away for SisterFest24, and as I let sad feelings of loss express themselves after having to say goodbye to my sisters I am simultaneously grateful and joyful to reconnect with your blog and creativity. Look at this colorful weaving with its textures and text! Wow! Bonus: learning about a weaving tool—hot diggity! Where might I find one of those??

      Welcome home! I'm still smiling thinking about your SisterFest23! Looking forward to mine in late June. So glad yours was magnificent!

      The weaving was a last minute idea for texture week...and it was fun. The weaving tool is a "game changer"...that's the name of the post I linked to where I talked about it. And IN that post is a link to where I got it. But here is the site: https://www.washiarts.com/tools/long-metal-needle-tool-for-paper-weaving

      Thanks for the link, MaryAnn. I did read your game changer post but it wasn't till later that I thought to wonder where you purchased your weaving tool and I didn't think to return to that post!

    "An idea"? I think you have endless ideas! Good for you- and I am (vicariously) enjoying every moment of this class.

      ha ha...I think you're right. Too many ideas....and nowhere near enough time to act on them all. So glad you're enjoying my journey through this class Kathy! That makes me happy.
