Painting with Nail Polish


It's probably pretty easy to see that I painted with nail polish, but difficult to figure out what the heck this is a picture of.

They are the heddle bars of my 8 harness Macomber weaving loom.

I took this unusual step in an effort to make my life easier. Time will tell if it works.

Is your curiosity peaked? Learn more at my new blogsite.

Rigid Heddle Weaving

I made these three handwoven bamboo scarves on my little rigid heddle loom while I was working the last show I did. People are always fascinated to watch me weave, even on this simple loom. I'm always happy to share the process with them.

Check out my new blogsite to learn more about these scarves.......and other things about life.
