I had seen a short promotional video by Laly Mille called "Woven Dreams" . I sent a link o Marilyn asking if she would lead us in a similar project. We waited for her to get back from a sea shell related trip, and yesterday we did our own versions of wrapped frame weaving.
She stepped it up and had us do the top row with a basket makers twist. Since then I added more above that row. This piece contains old yarns, palm seedlings, fresh thyme and oregano. Fabric scraps, Cheese cloth, old hymnal torn strips, etc.
It was a lot of fun to do, except for that tricky first row. We almost had a mutiny on our hands, but Marilyn was so patient and encouraging.... we got through it. And at the end we could understand the importance of that first row which stabilized the piece. Thank you Marilyn. Well done.
