a weaver

My response to May's TIF.
Terse and self assured it has taken me years of agonizing, questioning, justifying and being apologetic about what i do.

Times when i dreaded filling forms with the deadly occupation question. i studied literature and became an EFL teacher, but that was not what i was, that was a small part of the cake.
Always felt and said that i am at my very best when weaving. i can think, create and transform reality into something else either functional or artistic.

i am a weaver who dyes.
i am a weaver who experiments in surface design
i am a weaver who has recently learned to embroider
i am a weaver who is teaching herself to machine knit
i am a weaver who likes to work with animations
am a weaver who creates fractals
i am a weaver who is married
i am a weaver who loves to cook
i am a weaver who gardens
i am a weaver who is a crazy japanophile
i am a weaver.
