For any local (North Texas) folks who will be around on Saturday, the 25th – I’m going to be part of an exhibit at the Crow Collection of Asian Art, showcasing art from the Silk Road. The title of the traveling exhibit is “Ancient Threads, Newly Woven: Recent Art from China’s Silk Road“. There is a whole day of activities and special displays – you can see more details here: LINK

They’ve got live music, Elizabeth Barber giving a talk about the Mummies of Urumchi, and, of course, a silk reeling demo! I’ll be there from 10 AM to 4 PM.

These are for Paul Martin, who is going to tie fishing flies with them.

More colors to come: purple, green, magenta, silver, teal.

I finally got photos taken, and a page worked up for the degumming process!

It takes the silk from this:

I got interviewed for a Fiber Cast episode –

We talk for about twenty minutes about silk, silkworms, sericulture…

I’m excited; I think it turned out well.
