Too humid for humans...
We have a Cooper's Hawk here. Finally identified it by it's call. Couldn't get a good pic. Hangs out at the tree that the Pileated Woodpecker is destroying slowly. (as roof guy used to say, "they have to eat too") A good view of the garden. And the birdbath. They eat other birds. And seem to celebrate by laughing.
I have become so aware of how my presence here changes everything.
Reaching back.
Weaving but not Wednesday.
Always inspiring ❤️ still following after all these years and never get bored. Glad I found you so long ago😊🥰
ages, right?
Very clever! I will give this a go! heal quickly! Hot and muggy here too — ugh!
Yeah, yuck
“A cloth loom with weave stitching…” Thank you Jude for this inspiration, and I love your pic of it. I’m sorry to hear of your hip problem and hope you get some relief soon…. Best wishes,, Lynn
It will distract me from bitching.😂
i’m now seeing embroidery thru the eyes of weaving. with hand-dyed yarn. what if the drawn warp lines were different colors… or inked on?
how we all are interwoven…
a lot of fancy weaves are very much like embroidery
I love this! Opened my mind to different possibilities. Sorry about your hip- humidity doesn’t help. Sending speedy recovery wishes
thanks, enjoy the possibilities!
Interesting concept; i think i’ll give it a try when I get tired of housework Sunday. I retired 18 years ago but for some reason the day to clean house never changed.
Sore hip, humid weather — very good reasons for you to rest today.
I’ll use it as an excuse not to clean
Lots of ideas swirling in my head after seeing your weaving on drawn warp lines 💙
Hope your hip feels better soon
Its funny to that a weave diagram is often called a drawing in draft.
Now that looks like fun! Haven’t seen the merlins recently but there has been an eagle passing over the last few days. I am not sure we can live somewhere without changing it…
True, thinking about that.
Truly brilliant …
Warping with a Pilot Frixion Clicker pen, add some heat and the lines would disappear. My fave pen. I have white pens that do the same thing but don’t know name..on amazon and very cheap.
LOve
I keep using that sharpie I have. for now.
I hope you heal up fully. Especially in the humidity, that is rough. The skeaving is a great place to go for now!
Yeah, this old age stuff is maddening in this muggy weather
Ooh, no, hope you heal well & swiftly!
Redtail hawks prevent me from letting the hens free range anymore. Sad for that becuz it means the hawk habitat is under the dozers. Dammit.
Back into the HEAT & Humidity here again…no rain this weekend! Hit and miss this week…
Hot afternoons might be a good time to pick up the needle again. So many ideas!!
so many birds of prey here, mostly just watching to see how it all fits together.
” I’d love to come, but I’ll be skeaving on Sunday and can’t make it.”
Food for the imagination. Thanks.
Ha
Skeaving –interesting.
We have smaller hawks here — redtail, I think, but we also have an eagles’ nest about a football field away. Our feeders out back attract all manner of bird and squirrels, and when the eagles are soaring overhead, or the neighborhood cats come into the yard the “head” squirrel start chuckling his warning and all the birds disappear.
Yes, the warning system is quite elaborate
Ah, a backyard Hawk! I’d be sittin’ for a long, long while, just watching. Your ‘loom’ holds so much imagination! Sorry about your hip, hope you heal quickly.
Hips are tricky it seems.
Love the Sun rising over the waves. Very Summery. I picture, too, a small ⛵ sailboat.
Very Sunday…
Hot as hell here
Hmmm…skeaving….great idea…never thought to draw in vertical lines..huh! Thanks, Pal
I remember saying the same thing to myself
