The video is amazing. I will appreciate hearing back how it works for you.

Thanks for posting - I would love to see a video of how it works!

Wow. Thanks for sharing, Patrice! I hope she will get more exposure for her early work – someone needs to hit "rewind" on the exhibit that happened/didn't really happen during Covid.

Patrice, I am looking into submitting this topic for a Poster Session at Complex Weavers Seminars. If all goes according to plan, we will try and have the swatch notebook available for examination. In

Thanks Robyn, Su, and to Deb C for her private response. I would love to see more "theory" sessions / discussion at conferences (or virtually) on this topic in the future. I know there have been some
