update for eternal project

Quite much done in last month:

More weft

I got this week hopefully the last skeins of weft for the eternal project.

One skein of dark green wool. I wanted to have two dark hues, but the other was already fourth hue, which was out of production, during this project.

I also got three drums of Kreinik's metal thread, size #12 tapestry, color: pewter. It will be used together with the silver, in the blade of halberd.

Bow making

Over the last months I've been slowly reducing the sap wood and following a growth ring on the back of the German Yew stave. 2/3 of it is already done and I only do it about 10-15 cm in a day. I have so many other things to do, that this project is neglected.

Eternal project January 2014

Last weeks I have vowed a lot. I try to get work done in next spring.

From the size of my son I understand how long this project has taken.

Eternal project August 2012

On vacation I had few days, I wove really much. Normally I have woven 1-3 hours every day, but daddy's little helper does not allow me to do it anymore. Elias is especially interested in the bobbins. In September we will move in to a new house, where I hope I will have a place to weave in peace.

Eternal project November 2011

On those days my son was sometimes under the loom, when I was weaving.
