I started weaving nearly two decades ago. I wove blankets and shawls and scarves and table runners. One day, a few years ago, I was out walking on the mesa near my home, feeling uninspired, and I began to notice the sages and deer grass and sumacs and buckwheat, their colors and textures and scents(!), and I exclaimed "I want to weave YOU"!
I headed for my studio, collecting deer grass and white sage fronds and bee's bliss sage branches, and botanical weaving was born!
On the left is a photo of that first piece.
I have lots more I want to share with you....
Oh, My! What a wonderful start to your blog! I had no idea you have been weaving so long! I love the photo!

Happy to have you as a weaving buddy!
Love, Anne
