5 out of 5 starsI’m really enjoying reading this so far. I’m not sure I’ll be able to do a similar project any time soon, but I’m getting a lot of really helpful info out of this booklet. ❤️

5 out of 5 starsThis ebook lifts the heart with inspiration for beautiful weaving. It explains weaving techniques with text and pictures and would be worth it at twice the price. I rate it high quality that matched the description and exceeded my expectations.

Artist and writer
I’m a longtime weaver fascinated by color spectrums, spirals, waves, flow. I often use color to create illusions of iridescence. I experience #synesthesia. Synesthesia is a unique dimension of perception and intelligence. It affects everything for me. My actually autistic visualization/thought process is also a minority perception and intelligence dimension. I think in 3D moving pictures, and I often think using moving, geodesic shapes. I visualize finished weaving projects before I create, for example. Neurodivergence has always been integral to my art and life. I literally see everything in color.
My freeform overshot Mermaid Scarf appeared on the cover of Handwoven Magazine, Nov./Dec. 2015. My eBook on freeform overshot as a technique and my Mermaid Scarf pattern 2.0 are available in my Etsy shop, as are numerous other freeform overshot and freeform twill patterns.
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a genetic connective tissue disorder, has limited my physical abilities over the past few years. I now mostly weave with chunky handspun and hand dyed art yarns. I publish an eBook on wearable art and weaving with art yarns.

Frequently asked questions
Can your weaving patterns be woven on small looms?
Yes! Rigid heddle, pin looms, other frame looms, backstrap looms and shaft looms. ALL patterns are for pick up weaving.
Do you sell WIF weaving files?
No. I used to sell them. But they cannot be copyrighted. Plus, they cannot be uploaded to Etsy as instant digital downloads, and I am too physically disabled to send emails with WIFs attached.
