Living and Weaving

It seems that I have been missing a bit lately.  I have been working on several things.  A fellow blogger and my favorite fabric dyer, Vicki Welsh,  has done a complete reworking of her blog, website and store.   That inspired me to take a look at my website and see what I could do to revamp. At this point, I am not ready to change my blog. But I do have a website at www.geneblack.com  - that is the one I am going to revamp.

(warning- geeky talk - you can skip the next paragraph if it will cause you to glaze over)  
Since my web hosting is paid for almost 3 more years, it isn't financially smart to move the website.  I looked at some sites that let you build on their platform and even started a site here.  However, it is not a complete site at all.  Since I can't export the coding and use it on my hosting site, I am searching for a good standalone web design software that isn't too expensive.

Now....the less geeky stuff:

A couple of weeks ago, I wound a lovely red warp for my loom

There are some purple and yellow threads as well as  a couple of brown and green threads in it.  I have been weaving on this eight meter warp (8.75 yards) slowly since then.   Here are some photos of the fabric with one "close-up" of  a graphic element that I wove into the cloth.

At this point, there is less than a yard of warp that is unwoven.  I really hate to see the end of it as it has been such a joy to weave.  But I have a purple warp ready to go on next.
As for this piece, I can hardly wait to see what it becomes.  My hope is that it will make a great piece to put in a gallery show I have coming up in July.
