Elementary students in my ELL class were the experts again these last two days -- teaching us about Diwali, letting us help decorate with candles, remembrances of family, and a simple rangoli, for the first time. #diwali #festivaloflights

The next warp...alpaca and tencel in brassy gold, orange and chile pepper red. A formal looking warp destined for Saori style informality at 12.5 dpi. #weaving #tencel #alpaca #saori #california #sanjoaquinvalley #fresnocounty

It was the warp from **** and it def has issues, but I like the texture and I achieved my intent, plus learning the pitfalls. When it's washed and fringe trimmed, I will wear it. #weaving #rigidheddle #reclaimedyarn #vintageyarn

Today, my ELL students are the experts on campus. Our first ever Ofrenda, lovingly prepared by generous staff. #diadelosmuertos
