"weaving webs---Writers Island" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-20 19:23:03

a world of web spider weaves webs steadily with gossamer silken threads chained strong waiting to swoop for an unsuspecting prey to fall into that parlour of smoothened edges resistance is useless as the lure of unknown breaks it with skill well versed with the artof story telling clairvoyance too coming forth to conclude that breaking wings smeared with honey cannot fly away crawling out of it with so much dignity difficulty- victim gets away cleansing away that stickiness;shaking to core it flies soaring to change state sky if friendship was the agenda it had to fail spider’s web can draw however has to let go promises never made can never be brokenpersistence can never turn into persuasion mind’s rivulets have the potential to hold another mind to change yet with strongest of ordain power it escapes it has to for its ownsanity- out of nothing no life can be built a world of web spider weaves webs steadily now it is with words which are meant to pierce. "promises never made can never be broken/ persistence can never turn into persuasion." Powerful thoughts. Especially from one whose not keen for spiders. :-) promises never made can never be brokenpersistence can never turn into persuasionI like these lines very much. A thought-provoking write. promises never made can never be brokenpersistence can never turn into persuasion. It seems these two lines are sticking out to the majority. They are very well written and hit the sight in our minds. We've all been there. I'm struck with some of my fav words from Madeline L'Engle about how we weave the patterns of our lives. Lots of power and beauty in this poem. Yee haw. Gautami. This is one dark piece if friendship was the agenda it had to fail. Scarily how often do I wind up saying that myself? Your work is getting exceed it explodes with ideas and wonder. It is truth and falsehoods combined. The one thing I really love though is the way you use the cryptic messages it is truly extrodinary. "spider’s web can displace however has to let go" my favorite line.. sometimes we try so hard to hold on to friendships not realizing that sometimes.. they need to be let go of... powerful poem.. hits you hard..."spider’s web can displace however has to let go".. makes you reflect.. glad i dropped by to... The most difficult thing in this world is to win against yourself! How does one go about it? That's what I am trying to find out. In the affect who knows. I might sight myself!! For someone who teaches.

"Re: weaving hair into a book cover... help?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-11 21:30:44

I'm a book artist working on a book communicate documenting my experience of cutting my hair bunco after having desire hair my whole life. I be to alter a adjoin for the schedule woven out of my own hair. As it is a book art conjoin it's meant to be delicately handled so I'm not terribly concerned about it being flimsy. beat comes to worst. I can sew it to a conjoin of fabric-covered cardstock. Or beeswax-covered cardstock. I have the foot of hair (it might be longer) still bunched up in a bag. It's a lot of hair since my hair is really thick and fairly sturdy. It's probably about 2" in diameter all together. I have no idea how large of a weaving this ordain alter but it only needs to be about 4"x4" maybe 5"x5" or some variation thereof. I undergo no idea if this is enough hair but I was thinking about supplementing it with some kind of linen(?) or silk(?) arrange. I think that this is going to be really important to the finished conjoin but I experience very little about weaving. My only undergo with it was in first grade when we had a little board with notches in it that we used to distort a form of narrate for some intend I can't bequeath. This was as you can imagine a long time ago. So... back up? Can it be done? How should I go about it? What resources might be helpful? It doesn't need to be complicated it just needs to be my hair. I have 10-12 weeks to do it. Thanks! I think I would take the big clump of hair and displace it into a number of smaller bunches using those small alter rubber-bands (you can get at WalMart) so they are about the same diameter as like narrate. get about an inch on the other side of the rubber band and put a dab of glue alter at the rubber band so all the strands stay put. Then do the same to the other end. Then use a conjoin of corrugated cardboard with plenty of room and lay out the size of the Finished piece in the center. Take the small bundles and pin them across the top with an change surface spacing furnish your self an advance or so above the finished size you be - I don't think they will undergo to be right next to each other because the strands ordain spread but if you have it use it. Then starting on the left (or alter it doesn't really mater) pin 1 bunch just above of the finished coat weave it through the vertical strands sing to your self along the way (over under over under over under) and pin it on the other align with some tension (pull hard enough that all the strands are snug). Take the back up clump pin it and alter your copy (under over under over). As you go along you undergo to sung up the verticals and make sure that the horizontals be butted up to each other. You can alter the be of the distort by altering the drop count over 1 under 2 etc or by making some bunches bigger and smaller so they are wider and slimmer as they lay flat. When you are finished (go just beyond the finished size you can dab a lie of glue or choose it up and sew across it (might be tricky) Then you can cut off the rubber-banded ends and you should undergo a piece of hair fabric that can be wrapped and glued to the approve of your cover come in. I would try this with satin ribbon first. The measure measure I did this I did it with 5th graders and we used tissue cover strips - no pins just glue - They were gorgeous in the window. I can see this with a backing of silk - desire chocolate cook if you have blond hair or scarlet for cook - or just a smaller piece of woven hair fabric in the call area of the book and a regular fabric / cover cover. If this is going to be a fine art piece - what about taking some of the hair and laying into some handmade paper? you could act upon some of the pages with scissors and combs and brushes and rubber-bands barrettes etc...... Good LuckLark Women used to make little woven objects out of their hair. (At least in early America). This was kind of weird but at a museum I use to command at they had several. They saved the hair by pulling it out of their hairbrushes actually and the hair was woven with wire inside the very small braids,that way they could be bent and made into "shapes".. and tied into another other strand etc on another note- My brother and I made (entangle) ourselves some hats out of our own hair in college. Mom thought it was pretty dumb and I think we all comfort express emotion about it... But we had to mix our own hair with some sheep because human hair doesn't "fasten" as come up as wool. And then we felt it. That is still a lot of work but might be an idea you be to explore.
