Needlework
Needlework
Needle tip dips in and out of fabric,
Catching the light,
Drawing up stitches with a rasping tug--
Side by side, like satin,
Peppered, like a delicacy,
A garnish to be consumed sparingly,
Strewn, like newly mown grass--
Lemon-butter silk, raspberry soufflé perle,
Terracotta cotton, fine as a web,
Linen the color of cocoa
With whipped cream. Sweetly
Suggestive of traditional
Feminine wiles and fragile cups
Poured and passed
With secret smiles, and
An occasional glancing
Brush of trembling fingertips.

It's a fiber arts post! Yay!
Do you read Spin-Off Magazine? I often like to page through and see what's new...
In the Summer 2013 issue, there's an article about "Sprang" weaving, which includes instructions for a project. It was intriguing, but I had trouble envisioning the process. So, like every good student, I looked it up on You Tube...
That's where I found this lovely, straightforward tutorial. If you're interested in learning something new -- portable weaving that doesn't cost a fortune to start! -- check it out. My fingers are now itching to begin. Now where did I put that old picture frame...?
Let me know what you think... Are you going to give it a try?
BTW: I love this woman's relaxing voice! She's the Bob Ross of weaving ;)

What a tease!
Strange
how the days slow down
as they grow shorter
Strange
how the light grows warmer
as the temperatures fall
Strange
how...
