The colors are great, but the book ends up being about twice what it probably should be. It is a beautiful book. And if you want a more structured learning approach, check out my online Warp and Weft course!Rebecca Mezoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16138972934775842473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71232803753868616.post-8052184868778049452016-05-21T16:01:36.156-06:002016-05-21T16:01:36.156-06:00Love this find.

Would love to read more about the life of your teacher, unfortunately the book is out of my price range on Amazon. :-( I put it on my wish list in case any family or friend feels charitable! Would love to have a teacher but none live where I do. It's a bit overwhelming learning from books and youtube but I am having fun trying!Jennifer Stumpfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14754588652080363941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71232803753868616.post-31232281142704508432016-05-19T09:54:18.808-06:002016-05-19T09:54:18.808-06:00Ha Ha!!!

I actually flipped through Woven Color to look for it and somehow missed it. Later in the book there are some photos of a show at Kent Galleries with many Koshare Windows pieces including this one. The one on the cover of Fiber Arts now is another in that series. Thanks Michele! I hadn't seen that page with the cover. I'd love to find a copy of that magazine. I definitely wasn't getting it in 1997.Rebecca Mezoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16138972934775842473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71232803753868616.post-83564188747774120722016-05-12T16:25:20.325-06:002016-05-12T16:25:20.325-06:00P.S.

It sure looks like the one you own.

I noticed in his book, page 107, figure 29.3, Koshare Window V, the piece is very similar to the one you have. Is yours a part of this series?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188524307319662800noreply@blogger.com
