Weirdest Hobby Yet

Remember this (very dramatic) post about my love for fiber art? Well, I've tried very hard to ignore my desire for wooly wall-hangings, but to no avail. My love for them has, in fact, grown. So much so that I've started making my own! Ha! And it's stinking fun! I've made a few sample pieces, just practicing the different kinds of weaving stitches? methods? and then I finally made this little one using actual colors and patterns and planning. My goodness, they take a lot of planning!

So far, I've loved curling up by the fire of an evening and weaving my little heart out. It's really relaxing.

This little guy is pretty strongly inspired by Maryanne Moodie - I really like the geometric shapes she includes in her work.
