Today's weaving was in orange. The first draft I loaded was a riot of color and I had no idea what it would do. Turned out like a 90s ponytail with lots of hair bands. Switched to something more legible for a while. Some shafts were misbehaving so I had to tack down those warp threads. #DHmakes

Fun thing! I'm looking at a copy of a book of summaries of Aristotle’s natural philosophy (Naturalis totius philosophiae paraphrases (1538)), and the book has a semi-circle mirror set into the backboard. Has any one seen this elsewhere? What's going on? A device to connect up with the Aristotle?
