Hi Weavers!
A question I've been pondering recently is "who gets to decide the value of my own creative work?"
Who gets to say whether it's good or not?
Should my own perceptions of my creativity be shaped by the opinions of others?
When I was 15 years old I played Liesl in a Sound of Music production. That set me on a path of both creative elevation and disappointment...

CYANOTYPE EXPERIMENTS
My youngest daughter has been trying cyanotype printing for the first time - it's a lot of fun! I documented some of the process over at Kindred Creatives.
This is a form of sun printing using a combination of specific chemicals.
She started with a printing kit that makes the prep work easy. Now she's thinking about all the different prints she could do and is keen to experiment with adding watercolour, ink and pencil as well.
There is always something new and creative to learn!

CHRISTMAS ORDERING
If you're thinking of investing in any Lojan products for Christmas, I encourage you to get your orders in now.
For Australians, I have one each of the following looms in stock:
- Inkletje, Standard Inkle and Complete Edition
- Flex 8 Shaft Loom
- Flex Floorstand
- Cards, texsolv heddles, tablet boards etc
If you need something to be ordered that I don't have in stock, get in as soon as possible to avoid the Christmas rush.
In the US, I recommend Revolution Fibers for all your Lojan needs 😉
Likewise, if you are treating yourself to a beautiful handmade boat shuttle or belt shuttle this year, now is the time to order from Pickers Ridge. Check out their range of weaving tools here:
They also hand craft many unique wood products that make wonderful gifts (they ship internationally too).
