The second half of the year has arrived, and I am excited about it.
The theme is subtlety, not something I consider my forte, and I have been trying to keep my colors very soft and the combinations low contrast. (I think this photo may be a bit darker and more contrasty than the real thing).
I have gradually added little changes, like stripes and shading. I am getting a bit bored now, so it's time to do something a little more different in July, but, although I have some ideas, I won't be sure what that is until I do it. That's the way it works, when I'm weaving the days, it's all about being in the moment.
This year I am only weaving the diary 5 days a week. That seems reasonable since most people work a 5 day week, and that gives me a little leeway if I have to miss a day for some reason.
(On the right is the month of June, with a more accurate representation of the colors.)
Once I thought about it I realized OF COURSE! Otherwise we'd only have 48 weeks in the year. I was a little worried that I would not have enough warp, but in the end I did.
Apparently I don't have photos of each full section, but here are some that were almost finished.
Above is most of March/April, and below is most of January/February. You can tell which month it is by the number.

She introduced me to this idea, and got me started on this project, or perhaps it's more of a lifestyle!
Thanks Tommye!
