There is nothing like teaching to make you learn something. I was asked by by former guild, the Tamalpais Textile Arts Guild, to give a talk on Echo and Iris. I learned this new technique by reading books, not by attended a workshop. Normally I am a hands-on learner. The deadline gave me instant impetus to get my act together, stop merely copying other people's drafts, and gain an understanding of the structure to be able to create my own and explain it as well.
A very short presentation was followed by lots of samples of my collection handed around. I finished the scarf above at 5 pm, just in time to start driving to Marin.
