I have 9 floor looms upon which I weave scarves, stoles, blankets and yardage. Every inch of every single thread, both warp and weft, passes through my fingers in the creation of each fabric. Though I have been a weaver for over 40 active years, for the first time in September 2014, I have taken on 2 helpers to do some of the preparation work to leave me more time to weave. I use no computer assistance in the design or production of my cloth.
The Weaver's Dance
On a loom that whispers, with shuttles that fly
And bobbins that chatter as the hours go by
I'll not lay in one thread of mere chance
As I work in the motion of the weaver's dance.

I'm going GLOBAL...no, I'm still not a worldly woman...
I've just joined this wonderful, beautiful site called The TAFA List...The Textile and Fiber Art List! I'll be adding pages soon, just as I am adding pages to my blog here....did you notice? Check out my new pages to the right of this post, under The Work...with a little help from my friends. I've added "AAAh...Those White-on-Whites" and "My Fun This-N-Thats"....check them out!
And, to go learn more about TAFA go to here: http://www.tafalist.com/
I highly recommend this site to any fiber related artist who is interested in learning how to market their work. I have learned so much. And, it's great fun to click on the MAP, click through to +s and arrows to find people. I'll bet you can find me in New Mexico without much effort!
And see my profile in paaaaaaaarticular.......here I am!

Yea, Cat! I explored that site the other day and it is quite awesome. One of my fiber art friends had joined and I saw it on her blog. I was fascinated, but do not have a business set up yet. I'm still looking for my speciality and having a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I hope it brings you much business.
Thanks, Sandra! TAFA is awesome, that's for sure. I have already learned so much about connecting up my weaving world from my studio to my blog to my Etsy Shop to TAFA...even Weavolution! This makes the world seem so small, indeed.
ReplyDeleteCat! I just saw this! Thanks so much for plugging TAFA! Your enthusiasm is just wonderful... And, I'm glad that we are helping you along on the business side of things. There is always so much to learn and things just keep changing so quickly!
ReplyDeleteWe would love to have more weavers, so if any others of you want to join, do explore the About and Membership page of the site. Only half of our members have gotten their profiles up so far, but every day a few more make it up there, so it keeps getting better and better.
Here is a keyword search on weaving to inspire you weavers: http://www.tafalist.com/search/node/weaving
WOW, Rayela Art! It's so lovely to hear from you! My experience with TAFA has been so enriching that I'm going to take out an ad there just as soon as I can! I'm a total fan, and I don't just jump in ANYwhere! Sending Miles and Miles of Smiles, Cat B.
