I spent this week making long skirts out of two different yardage that I made on my big loom.

I have been holding this material for quite a while well I thought about the pattern to use.

Unfortunately, I photographed these this morning and

there is not very much sun today. These pictures don't give all the extra gloss and shine that are available in this material.

Anyway, I now have a pattern set that works well and exactly works for my wife.

She has tried them both, and they fit her perfectly.

Now it's time to work on some different patterns.

I have more material, and I think I am going to start working on some simple long dresses.

I'll let you know as I make progress.

Here are some new pictures!! Now that the sun is out, I can take new pictures.

It is surprising how much better everything looks once they are taken in the light of the sun.

Went to the fair!!!

Like every year, I went to the fair today and worked at the guild meeting demo area. It gives me a chance to meet people and talk about weaving. Why weaving is fun and comfortable and why it is worth their opportunity to get reconnected to fiber. I also get the chance to go and look at all the other work too. I saw two things that I really liked.

This item was called "Green Eggs and Ham". It is make of stone and metal and was submitted as a multiple materials art piece. I liked the presentation of the components and it caught my funny bone.

There were a number of other items that I also really liked. Near this one, was a stone Giraffe. It was very beautifully executed out of stone.

In addition to these items I also liked the three things that I submitted to the fair. The three things that I submitted all took 1st prizes. Obviously I was glad to win.

I'll have to put pictures out soon!
