Taking time to play around... (Sep 8, 2020) / by Debbie Barrett-Jones

Hey All! I hope you are doing well!! I have got to be honest with you... I am just a little bit tired and overwhelmed over here. My girls are going to start school tomorrow. So please send positive thoughts and prayers our way. 

I have been pretty busy getting as much done in my studio as possible. I got all my threading done on my big loom which was a HUGE undertaking. Thankful to be done with it... but I just found today about 8 mistakes that I will have to correct or once I get started weaving it will drive me crazy to see them. 

I am still working on getting the computerized part of my loom back to working. Because it has been years since I last wove on it there will be some things to fix. EEK!! But I am really hoping by the end of the weekend I will be weaving. (Fingers crossed!!)

I thought I would add a few additional photos of some samples I am working on this week. I will work on them tomorrow at KU. I put on my loom an all black warp and wove two sample with white tencel. Then off the loom I drew on some of the white weft yarn using fabric markers. I am planing to get out my watercolors tomorrow and just have fun. I usually never make small samples AND just play around like this, so I am really excited about it. I will show you how they turn our in my next post. :) 

Okay, that is all for now. Thanks again for your wonderful support!! 

Much love to you!
