2nd day in residency

Today we decided to hang our artwork or at least start with it. I realized in order to use the hanging system, I had to have hangers on all my work. So it was time to make some introductions. First of all I went to the the weaving/spinning/knitting store to see how dangerously a small city like Navasota can be to an Addict like me. Yes, I was right. Then came the hardware store, where the assistant goes in the back to look for my weird metric screws I needed. And then he asked how many I needed. I shall return often.
This is how my night ended with time spent on my loom. I hope I can thread it tomorrow and start weaving soon.

first day in Navasota



I took these photos this morning when I went for my walk. How beautiful and see the large yard.
After cleaning up, sorting things out and putting them in their right places, I was able to start on my first project. I wound the warp and started threading it. It felt good to spent as much time as I needed for the project - that was the most important thing to do and I had uninterrupted time. What a luxury. Maybe it will get old and I won't focus as well as I did today. But for right now I am embracing it.
I did drive to Conroe to pick up my artwork. Tomorrow we will hang our artwork and it will look like a gallery. What a privilege. I feel very fortunate.
