Yes. Although even paintings are 3D and quite different in real life, but just more intertwined in weaving??

So I can understand your dilemma of wanting to go outside the box, but feeling you need to stay within the technique box in order to do work that pleases you. That is what I ultimately found confining about weaving ~ once I'd "mastered" my loom, once I was able to design drafts and execute them to my satisfaction, there didn't seem to be anywhere to go except varying fiber type and yarn color. And re: your striving for perfection, what about Japanese boro, with its totally wabi-sabi-ness? or that image I saw on Facebook numerous times, the broken ceramic cup with gold in the crack? Two examples of sublime beauty in imperfection. Take care of yourself, dear friend. xoCate Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079028386218370915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-10878245667013562022015-07-07T22:17:53.373+12:002015-07-07T22:17:53.373+12:00Dunno, Carol.
