The Weave Every Day in June Challenge
Weaving is Meditation.
"It has the capability to calm you, to focus your energy, to feel the power of making something beautiful.
Developing a regular weaving practice, whether you're brand new to weaving or have been doing it for years, can be deeply beneficial in so many ways."
"For the month of June, we are challenging you to weave every single day. Maybe you only have five minutes a day, maybe you have an hour or two, but the goal is simply to find time to weave. Learn more and sign up here:"

I signed up and am contemplating ordering the gorgeous thread package being offered for 20% discount - around $46 + the shipping.
I thought that tapestry was not my go-to for weaving, but I want to implement the techniques in my Saori. Since we're traveling in June I can take my small loom and weave every day somewhere for a period of time. I have a Saffron loom pictured below:
I think it successfully survived the flood and has all its parts. It is a nice loom and will serve the purpose. I also reordered Rebecca Mezoff's book and will use it consistently.
Rebecca also offers a short tapestry class that I may sign up for again. I am not sure regarding that experience. I don't need both and most certainly do not need spending any more money until I get a grip on my activities and expenditures.
Tapestry weaving is difficult. However, I don't need to create such masterful art works. I can begin simply and review the basics. I don't recall if I have blogged about my experiences with the American Tapestry Alliance classes. My teacher was wonderful and patient. My weaving not so wonderful. That was when I decided to punt the tapestry, but now that I have finished several Saori weavings I want to incorporate more needle techniques, so this experience with Mirrix will be good. And who knows? I may be a winner of the grand $200 prize so yes, I will keep a log.
I will blog about my progress. 😊
