Go ME!!
“Silk Season,” the tablet-woven ribbon with reeled silk skeins that I entered into the Dallas Handweavers and Spinners Guild’s show, won the Handweavers Guild of America award! Now, I just need to get somebody to take slides of it, so I can send it in to Shuttle, Spindle, & Dyepot!
Dream: Mom's Morphine Drip
[note: Mom’s in fine health, I don’t know where this came from. Dad’s been through morphine drips with his cancer treatment in the past couple of years, but has always had excellent care.]

Silkworm updates!
It’s spinning time!
Big Pictures
Someone requested some larger format image files – these are pictures that I’ve posted here recently of Antherea polyphemus and Samia ricini, just in larger formats.
Polyphemus
These are Polyphemus cocoons, Antherea polyphemus. I started with nine of them, which I got from a nice guy named Dan in Ohio. I found another one locally here in the Dallas area, on an oak tree at a park. Note: park rangers don’t appreciate people walking around with tree loppers. He didn’t say anything, but I got That Look.
And anybody who’s been following this journal, knows what big cocoons turn into… BIG MOTHS

Dream: Reeling Silk at the College Orientation
[note: This is something I’ve been looking forward to, silk showing up in my dreams! I haven’t really incubated silk dreams, but anything that I work with this much is bound to make an appearance. ]
