2012-2013 is my first full year working in a classroom.  I often do not have the time or energy to post to my websites because I have been getting sick so often, but I still pick away at various projects.  Sometimes Alan will take photos of my desk when I am working on multiple projects to document the chaos.  I thought if I tried to take daily snapshots of my desk, it would give a hint of what things are occupying me at the moment.  If I had to choose one location in our space that consistently gives a clue as to what I am thinking of or working on, it would most likely be my desk.  So, it's manageable to focus on that one space, and it's a space that I use every day.  It's revealing as well, exposing my messes besides whatever I am working on.  It is also an archaeology of sorts; layers of projects I have worked on, projects I am focusing on now, and projects I want to stat, as well as my laptop, bills, mail, music, keys, clothes, etc.

Cutting Bias

1.
The warp is the length, straight or selvage edge of a piece of material.

The woof or the filling thread is the width or crossway thread of goods.

2. True or perfect bias is the diagonal of a square.  It is found by placing the warp and woof thread parallel.

Grain meets grain.

(Page displays half of a square with three bias lines marked in pencil.)
