         Was that your bog dress?  I remember that. It was really a
wonderful piece.
I saw one exhibit where a woman was working on period textile samples --
she would research the various weaves and finishing techniques and then do
a small sample of each.  Gwenneth I remember had a great collection of
natural dye colors she did a display and labeled each.

I also remember Rhiannon's weaving from a long while ago - very nice piece
as well......
