Have glue gun, will travel

This week's weaving guild meeting was our annual holiday party. Besides eating, we participate in some kind of craft. I didn't attend the party last year, but there were complaints that the craft was too hard. This year's craft was super easy, yet it is possible to mess it up.

We were provided with the popsicle sticks already glued together in a xmas tree shape. All we had to do was wrap the sticks with yarn, tacking it down here and there with a spot of glue, then trim the outer legs of the triangle. If one wraps carefully, weaving the yarn in and out, no floats are created. I obviously did not execute this step carefully.

One recommendation I would make is to attach the hanging thread *before* wrapping with the yarn. Otherwise, fun and, yes, easy.

Two of our members are husband-and-wife. Husband came dressed as Father Xmas and handed out ornaments made from inkle bands. I've seen crocheted versions of this craft. Another fun and easy project, once one has the weaving or crocheting done.

Weaving: Finished my SO's scarf; separate post to follow.

Is that all I did this week?!? As far as fiber arts, I guess so.

My SO and I visited a new-to-us gallery here in the Fort: BIPOCA - Black Indigenous People of Color Art Incubator and Gallery. We met Clydia, its owner, at an exhibit opening at another gallery and decided we needed to check her place out. AMAZING! And out of my price range except for a handbuilt ceramic mug I purchased.

I also learned of another guild, one that has been active for 50 years but has practically no online presence. It flies under the radar, but is in need of new members. I plan to check it out in January.
