Wrap it around a stick, or a rock, or a shell. Experiment with knotless netting-- --handily worked with a needle-- --so cordage and object evolve together. Toss in a basket or box. Bind a book-- --and keep it snug. Arrange by value. Weave a tapestry. Study history. Call it warp-- and experiment with band-weaving. Conduct longevity tests-- --and admire the miracle for months (and counting).

A perfect time for this wonderful insight to cordage

Your wise comments always seem to speak exactly to me on the day you post them - how do you do that?!? I often say I went to MSU: Make Stuff Up. A double entendre speaking to both my creativity and my wacky mind that distracts me from real life. Even as I make knitted things and embroider felt, my mind distracts me from peaceful living by making up terrible thoughts that are loud, distracting and nearly believable. Oh how I wish I could lose my mind and live in the moment! thank you for your articulate and beautiful ideas, written, spun, woven and knitted.

I love your words... seem to express what I'm thinking. Uncanny. I, too, so much love the process most of the time rather than the finished product but SOMETIMES the finished product surprises me too. Keep on spinning and writing. You are a breath of really fresh air.

Lovely post. Thank you. 9/8/2020 03:28:26 pm
I think "arrange by value" is my favorite, possibly because of the green. And the captions... so many surfaces. Your posts make me want to photograph every little fibery vignette....

I love your blog so much. Milkweed is a favorite plant to me... before because of monarch butterflies, but now because of that and the beautiful work and words you've shared. Thank you.
When I read through the blog post, there were two things that struck me. First, that weaving has resurfaced in my life thanks to two masters of weaving; you and Rebecca. So grateful for that. I am also fascinated by how you can turn plants into such beautiful yarn and make such beautiful things out of nature's assets. It is a master's experience and knowledge.

this evening found me attempting to cull a dying black eyed susan,and instead twisting the stem to see a most beautiful green twist and wondering how to stabilize it. Oh Sarah, such an inspiration you are! Comments are closed.
