Back to Weaving

I have managed to quite a lot of weaving on the Schacht and am getting along nicely. Jerry has given up sitting on the treadles which does complicate weaving. Also the Guild is gearing up for a weekend with Melanie Venes and I have found some nice yarn in my stash. The warp  is wound and needs mounting. I am doing deflected double weave. Never done it before. I have put on a five metre warp with the aim of doing two scarves on what is left after the weekend.

I also found a book on photography that I cannot remember buying, it is called Wabi, after the Japanese simplicity thinking. The photos are all taken in.a nature reserve in North Germany with a macro lens. (Gerhardt Dibudda). I may have found the solution to my angst over photography.  They are really abstract

  1. I’m just reading your last couple of blog posts, and I, too, have problems taking street shots. Whether the people know i’m there or not, it feels intrusive. I’ve enjoyed watching your photographic skills grow, and I’ve especially enjoyed your photos of flowers. Sounds like macros may be an avenue to explore. My suggestion was to pick a subject/area of interest and work on composition with it. Abstract macros? I look forward to seeing what you do.
