Avalanche Looms: out of chaos

out of chaos

What my brain looks like, on the wall. I look at other artists' inspiration boards and realize that most take down what they had up last, and assemble new things to look at. I layer. The first things were pinned here 10 years ago when we built my shop. I want to see at a glance if I still care about the same things as I used to, and if I'm still on track.

Out of this scramble emerges some pretty orderly weaving, with organized color, and balanced designs.

Susan said...: Thanks for the cheers for New Scarf! I really appreciate the compliments.

We are who we are. "Plan" elevates my work style. I call it habit. I'd love to see your project layers, Lynn; August 27, 2010 at 1:37 PM

Susan said...: I avoided rosepath for so long, but now I find myself weaving it more and more. The cinnamon and teal were what I really loved here. I'm glad you like the pattern; September 2, 2010 at 2:06 PM
