August already!!

 Time is rushing by - in a slow sort of way. 

This lockdown life is weird, it seems to be going slowly and quickly at the same time. 

I have enrolled for an online tapestry weaving workshop at the Australian Tapestry Workshop (how appropriate) and that is giving me some mental peace, even though some of it is challenging me a lot. 

I learnt the things that we are doing, so far, in the workshop while I was at RMIT but that was a while ago. and we had a lot of new learning - very new for me at the time. I had never done any weaving. It is good to be going back over some basic principles to make the weaving work better. I think I understand better now how to work out what I am doing wrong and how to correct or adjust for that. I just have to be able to incorporate the principles into my work. 

We started with a circle - I had SO MUCH trouble with it. I did it twice (not counting the 2 or 3 times I pulled then out) and it still isn't quite right. I just decided to keep going and do the rest. I 'might' try another sampler of circles in the future but have two others to do in the next two weeks. Other techniques to remember or learn new. 

Lots of learning, lots of concentration.
