Materials used: 100% wool warp and weft. Woven with Weaving Southwest hand-dyed Churro
Woven on a Hammert 30" loom.
Notes:
My Life Lines design came out of my time taking care of my parents the last few years of their lives. I spent a fair amount of time with them in the hospital watching the heartbeat monitor. Even though that was difficult it was also good because I was able to share time with them at an important part of their lives.
The Churro Club colors are great inspiration for new color combinations.
