Thoughts on Tapestry Weaving

 I sometimes concern myself with which aspects of a particular fiber project are indeed "art" (vs, "craft" or technique). So um yes in pondering this here is a checklist for a current project.  Some "art" some "craft"...you decide. Perhaps all of these constitute part of this debate...





These are all "checks in the positive"...


*my handspun yarn included

*a friend's handspun yarn included

*loopy mohair included (just joking...)

*yarn acquired at fiberguildofthesavannahs included

*Handdyed included

*loom acquired for free (thanks SWHFiberworks)

*barberpole and non barberpole yarn included

*wool AND synthetic yarn (eeks but the color and sheen is great) included

*spontaneous decisions about design


what have I forgotten?? It's not done but I love it
