And a few inches more--but only a few

More progress today

The dark area that will move to the left and define the large stone below it has started.  I'm eager to move above it and tackle the next challenges of new stones.

On the teaching side of life, I have the Florida Tropical Weavers Conference lined up for next March.  The dates are March 20-22, 2015 at Lake Yale Conference Center.  Three teaching dates are now planned for 2015 and that will be about it for the schedule, I think.  Although possibly there will be a couple of one day workshops here in north Georgia that my friend, Pat Williams, and I might host... we'll see.

This weekend is one of the festival weekends in Dahlonega.  This time around it's Bear on the Square--link to that event is here.  It's one of my favorites and the weather looks great--so I'll be strolling around tomorrow, buying stuff and listening to good music!

Stones progress today

I've been able to spend several hours weaving today.  Here's how it looks as I leave the studio for the evening:

I'm showing more of the loom instead of cropping into the image as I usually do when I post.  On this loom there's quite a bit of area in which I can weave before having to advance the warp.  But I'll be rolling the piece up a bit on the cloth beam by tomorrow afternoon and so this may be the last time I see the bottom of the tapestry for several months to come.

Right now the highest point on the left side is just under 20" high.  The whole piece will be around 72" high so I'm nearing completion of the first third of the image.  Lots of weft to travel through warp before this tapestry is woven!

A link to Tapestry Share blog post about my upcoming Peters Valley class

I just posted to Tapestry Share with thoughts about the class I'll be teaching this June at Peters Valley School of Craft.  I won't rewrite that post here but instead give this link, if you'd like to see what I said about there.

More later about the continuing stones!  Maybe.
