Dalliance
April 2026
A reminder that the images below are links to enlarged versions.
Thomas played with some future woven designs. He did this while on the subway.
Seems like a great idea till he gets his looom up and running.
Katy did another kind of weaving: basketry!.
She learned the technique in Charleston, South Carolina. .
Carol S. showed this beautiful scarf. The warp is very fine silk and the weft is a single.
.
We just love the way the pattern shows off the colors of the warp and weft.
Carol K. made this playful mini tapestry.
.
She said the hard part was punching the hole in the plastic lid.
Terry loooked up a number of references to "dalliance". .
 .
This is from Shakespeare's Hamlet. Act 1, Scene 3.
Ophelia
I shall th'effect of this good lesson keep,
As watchman to my heart. But good my brother,
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven;
Whilst, like a puft and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
And recks not his own rede.
And so we have a "primrose path of dalliance".
