Oh my! I'm gonna make some of those as well. What a super idea! And so simple.

Don't think I'm not going to follow all these links, because I am. This is luscious stuff. I love that picture of the woven covers, too. I just got two mini-comp. books, and I'm going to do this before swapping them out. You are so good to us!

Unbelievable! I was cleaning up the studio recently and found a small loom (meant for potholders) that I request and recieved as a birthday gift a few years ago. I had requested it for a particular project and now that project is long sense forgotten. I've been looking for inspiration for it and also checked for a new podcast. I haven't listened yet, but the sheer coincidence of it all was to much to not comment!

Wow. What a great idea. I have not thought too much about weaving, but now I will!

Hi Diane,
Thanks for two more super podcasts! I love downloading your interesting interviews and take a walk down town with my Ipod and just be inspired! Thanks for directing me towards Cathy of California about the loomflowers! Very funny and beautiful stuff over there :-)
Kind regards Inger Carina

Great timing! I've downloaded all of your podcasts, and have been listening to them in the studio this week - I'm hooked! And, I've been looking for ways to incorporate weaving (using small, modular looms) into some of my projects. Brilliant!

Yay, what a great show! I had forgot how nice it was to listen to you just talking after all the interviews you've made. I feel inspired! But gosh, where to start in all this? hehe.
