Bookwork

posted in Weavers and Their Stories |

For the last three years, Liz Munk, Jennie Slick and I have been working on a new instructional book on Navajo weaving.  We’ve completed sections on loom building, spinning and warping and drafted sections on weaving.  Right now, I’m working on pulling all of this work into book form, which is why I haven’t posted over the last week.  I’ll try to do better as I’m pulling the rest of the project together.  Our goal is have the book ready by the end of the year (yes, THIS year, 2008).

What we’re hoping to do is to build on the work done by Tiana Bighorse, Noel Bennett, Mary Pendleton and Caroline Spurgeon and we’ll be including multimedia resources with the book.  I’ll keep you posted on the project’s progress!

    Ya’at’eeh !!

    Have just purchased Navajo Weaving Way–(beautiful!)
    In it you mention working on a book to be called Weavers Notes—including stories etc. Am interested in this when you publish it.

    kathleen higham: I'd like to join with you when it starts again!

    Mary Walker: The Munsell color system was developed to provide a precise numeric description of color based on hue, value or lightness and color purity (referred to by Munsell as chroma). This precision is helpful in mixing dyes to achieve the desired results. There is a Munsell study group on Weavolution.com, but I was too busy teaching right now to join. I hope there will be enough people interested to do another group later this year. If you haven't already joined Weavolution, I'd encourage you to do it. The current study group is called the Munsell+dye study group.

    Emmy: I'm curious now. What is a Munsell group? Thanks Emmy
