Weaving a Story

I took up weaving several years ago after taking a weaving class with Carla Sonheim presents (Weaving!) While at the time, it was a little different for me to take this class having never woven before, and not knowing a thing about weaving or tapestry making, I fell in love! It is SO representative not only of my art, but of life itself! Since then I have made weaving wall art, coasters, and baskets. I particularly like that I can recycle old fabric and yarn! So naturally when I heard about an online class being offered by the Shelburne Craft School called “Weaving your story,” I jumped right in. I had no idea that the process could be so healing, contemplative and uplifting all at the same time. And, to top it off, the process has woven (for lack of a better word) right in with two of my Art projects at the moment, which I call “Connections” and “The Edge of Innocence.” This spurred me to add onto and publish an idea I have had for some time which combines my Artist self with my work as a counselor, which is to offer a commission on my website called “Woven Tapestry, a Personal Tapestry of Memory and Meaning.” (click on the link for more details! I am excited to continue to combine my love of fiber arts with my love of intuitive and abstract art!

At the top of this post is my own personal “Weaving my story” project (soon to be complete).
