Looks like I missed a good session but I thought of you all when sketching in Greece,some amazing clay masks in Sparta museum.
Margaret,
I admire the Chilkat weaving a lot and the designs are complex. While the weaving itself is time consuming, twining is not a complex technique. Because the designs are curvalinear, they are sometimes surprising to weavers who think in terms of the grid.
