Oh, the Things We Weave!


This young Selma Arts Camp participant wove a shoulder bag last week. Weaving is among the popular crafts at the city-sponsored program and is taught by a local weaver who furnishes her own looms.

The second art camp at Dallas Academy will be held in July.

I think these city-sponsored programs are wonderful - not only do they keep the young 'un's occupied but teach them valuable skills.

And yes, I'm very biased against FAUX News...that's why I call it fake news ... It's not a "news" network at all but the propaganda wing of the Republican Party!

Doesn't look like a "tangled web" she was able to weave. Handbag looks like a fine handbag. In fact she looks delighted with the chance to show it off. Very pretty, fresh face.

Yes, some of these young weavers are becoming quite accomplished, especially if they attend Art Camp year after year.

This is a nice job, as Kate suggested. I laughed at Jacob's comment about Fox. I agree with him and feel sorry the people who have to work there.

How wonderful that local artists make all this effort. Summer is a time to hook kids on the arts. Summer should be a buffet of new activities for children!
