I have been working on a series I call Deja Vu which exemplifies the many approaches and paths one can follow through life. Here is a photo of one of the pieces. It is called The Shortest Route. I have completed two other in the series and I think I have another two in mind to complete the set. I had originally thought three would be the number. But the ideas keep popping up in my brain.They are all done in hand dyed silk with dyed warp. I have been exploring negative space and exposed warp through out this series. In the next several weeks I intend to have these three 'framed' and ready for show. I have completed the one with the slanted warp. It actually was not hard to weave and once framed perhaps a photo will appear.
I won't be able to start any new ones until perhaps November. I am going to take a Color and Design workshop with James Koehler which should keep my brain focused in other directions...at least for awhile.

Ahh, blowing up the picture explains the dyed warps. Sometimes I'm a bit slow!
The Shortest Route has the smallest amount of warp exposed. The first piece I did was the actual 'map' of the various routes and is quite exposed. I dyed three colors of warp red, blue and yellow with the intent that there would be three pieces.
fascinating ideas - thought you might like to know i have just set up an international weaver's showcase to allow weavers to sell their work - please have a look at www.julz.org and contact me if you or any of your fellow spinners & weavers are interested - thanks julie
