I'm so happy if you find inspiration to weave from me.<br />That's the way it works, imagination to imagination. It's a mystery. I certainly have worked because of so many artists who have inspired me, and owe so much to them. I hope you will be weaving imaginatively for a long time, inspiring other fledglings!<br />SusanSusannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242093056074680020.post-12959902386805771912015-12-24T16:55:46.346-06:002015-12-24T16:55:46.346-06:00Merry Christmas, Susan.

I didn't have to restrict my calories, or talk myself into meditation, or give up gluten, make peace with my past, or read a manual. The novelty hasn't worn off, yet. I think I'll go brush my hair right now!<br /><br />SusanSusannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242093056074680020.post-88846453684587316742015-11-22T08:07:35.207-06:002015-11-22T08:07:35.207-06:00Beautiful photos... anf beautiful words.

I cut away half of my hair, so at least I don't sit on the plait ten times a day, but they are still long enough to be a tangeled mess in the evening.<br /><br />And I really, really want one of those scarfs.

Each scarf takes up to 8 hours to make. I don't make many of them. I announce when I'm going to update my Etsy shop, on Instagram. I usually post some pictures of the scarfs that will be in the new group on Instagram, too. <br /><br />SusanSusannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242093056074680020.post-90619090211721232212015-11-19T15:06:52.417-06:002015-11-19T15:06:52.417-06:00Your work is beautiful.

It's funny how often I find myself remembering little stuff about my family. I like to write those little stories because you're interesting people, and I just want to keep those little memories. I'm glad you're there with Dorothy now, and hope you're having fun together. My love to you!

Taking pictures does the same, helps me to see what I'm actually looking at. Just as weaving leads me to discover what my work is about. I realize that this is artistic "process", a concept i never grasped before. Your patient reading this practice is enormously encouraging to me.Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242093056074680020.post-43360021763664599112015-11-11T23:35:44.778-06:002015-11-11T23:35:44.778-06:00A great read, Susan.
