Preparing for NEWS 2011

Rain by Bhakti Ziek, 2011

I am preparing for NEWS 2011 which stands for the New England Weavers Seminar. It is being held at Smith College from July 14-17, 2011. I'm doing two workshops and also co-jurying the gallery exhibition. I'm putting some images of my new work in a powerpoint presentation--so I thought I would share them with you too.

These weavings are done on a warp painted with natural dye extracts (from Earthhues). I wanted more texture in these pieces and have been using boucles and novelty yarns.
