[Loch-soilleir] Monday UFO & Fiber Arts

[Wyllow MacMuireadhaigh]

Greetings unto the scholars and artisans of the Loch!

Strange as it seems, this is only the second Monday of the month -  
and so, our Fiber Arts night.  We meet at my house (207 Sweetgum,  
League City) from 7-9pm.  This month, I am offering to teach Soumak  
Weaving.  This is a tapestry weaving style used to create Coptic  
textiles used in Egypt, Rome, and Byzantium.  These textiles  
influenced the development of textiles and fashions throughout  
Europe.  If you would like to learn this style, please bring:
- a small, simple warped loom (You can use a piece of wood or  
cardboard, with string or yarn wrapped around it.)
- a large needle (tapestry or naalbending will work)
- a cartoon (simple picture) to place behind it.  The Loch Soilley -  
or your own device - would make a great cartoon.
- any bits & ends of yarn you would like to use up.
I have spare children's looms, needles, and yarn, if you need to  
borrow any of the above.  While Coptic textiles were usually woven  
with wool, any collection of colorful yarns can be used.

For those of you who drive so far to play with the Northern part of  
the Loch, I have good news!  Next Monday, Lady Penelope is hosting an  
UFO - UnFinished Objects - meeting in the Southern reaches of our  
Barony - 174 Hospital Drive, Angleton.


In Service to the Dream,
