I have been slowly converting old slides into digital. This one amuses me quite a bit.Here I am in 1971 at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena Montana. I am weaving on a Hammett 4 harness counter balance loom. Hanging on the wall is Lee's Surrender from "A Handweaver's Pattern Book" although I was in the midst of my weed wall hanging phase.

Great shot! It's fun that you still have it.
I love it! But I believe you were never a newbie....you must have been born with a shuttle in your hand!!
Funny....you were at a Hammet loom when the Hammond organ was in all the rock music! :^)
It looks to me like you were really really concentrating!
Weed wall hanging? Weed?? it was the 70s, so I have to ask...
I remember doing weed/dried wheat/grass wall hanging also. One particular favorite was with a natural dark linen warp, very gauzy. Four of my 4 guys friends lived in a huge house in Warren Ma. and put it in front of their dining room window.I felt honored to have it there and we had many grand dinners in that room. Ahh communal living of the 70s.
