Weavers Block?

Help! Where has all the time gone too????? I really must MAKE the time to warp up for this project...it's all there but the time!
The way the weather is going we are going to miss Autumn and Winter all-together this year, and I was hoping Winter would be riding and weaving :-O

My Why's and Wherefores of Weaving

I am not an experienced weaver and was not drawn to it through an interest in textiles in their traditional context. I have spent much of my life researching problems & designing purely for function. Now, my nirvana is an idea where appearance is the startpoint; where the visual drives the design development; where what you see is more important than what it does: functionalilty follows form.
I quickly learned that the loom is just the start. The further you stray from the accepted confines of the loom, the more you discover that structures and techniques can provide a virtually limitless opportunity to express ideas through its versatility to combine materials and methods from all fields of art, design and engineering: Texture, colour, compliance or rigidity - even its ability to produce stressed elements in a product or sculpture.
So for me weaving has no boundary or rules. As I am neither a composer, lyricist nor painter, weaving is the starting point from which I express my ideas and explore design opportunities.
