"This thought-provoking book is both a spiritual and a how-to guide for those curious about the connection between the physical and the spiritual aspects of craft...deeply rewarding." — Sarah Swett, author and tapestry artist, in Spinoff Magazine
"Merrill gives us a stunning book...calmly blasting walls between life and art the way Cameron did in The Artist's Way, or Goldberg in Writing Down the Bones. So honestly written, so packed with wisdom..." — Daniela Kuper, author of Hunger and Thirst
This edition of the ground-breaking book that introduces the Weaving a Life process, the seven keyforms, and the deeper meanings of the Weaving a Life Journey Loom™ (the original Seven-Stick Loom) is published by Schiffer Publishing. The new title and attractive design enhance this book that has changed lives and sparked creativity for years. The process and the keyforms are explored in depth, and instructions for weaving each keyform are given at the end of each chapter.
This beautiful book contains 144 pages, and is filled with photographs and illustrations, bibliographic sources, a glossary, biographical information on the author, the creator of the keyform instructions, and the designer of the book, as well as an appendix introducing the Earth Loom.
With more than 120 beautiful color photos, this guide introduces how the simple art of weaving can help each of us — whether we are weavers or not ― to build our inner life. The goal is to recognize, receive, and live in harmony with your own deepest truths. Using a system of seven "keyforms" that span cultures, ranging from an amulet to a mask to a belt of power, the growth process is explored in depth.
Instructions for seven symbolic keyform projects help beginners to use tapestry weaving techniques, and help seasoned weavers to find new dimensions in their work.
The Weaving a Life philosophy holds that the inner life is like the vertical warp on a loom. The weft of our daily activities weaves through our inner values and beliefs with each moment.
The Weaving a Life process has been used successfully by weavers and spinners, psychotherapists, nurses, hospice workers, educators, artists, and youth leaders, as well as by countless individuals who seek a deeper vision for their lives.
