the sunset on the beach of Lo de Marcos
I would like to wish all my family and friends, weaving and tapestry enthusiasts, and students a very happy holiday and all the best in 2012. I thought you would enjoy seeing this striking sunset from the beach in Lo de Marcos. It is lovely and warm here and I have my loom warped and am weaving a tapestry with the beach patterns as my inspiration.
A postcard
When I first arrived in Lo de Marcos, I warped my small copper pipe loom with a 6″ wide warp, 12 epi. Then someone suggested we could send get better wishes to Archie Brennan after he had suffered a stroke. So I wove this postcard image inspired by the patterns in the sand and a shell I found at the beach. I finished it and popped it into the Mexico Postal system in La Penita. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to get to Archie.
