finishing

 off the stump
 stitching
 rebekah's ancient textile
 almost ready to remove
 marks on cut lokta
 slit and tab binding exemplar

 the other end of the table
 almost ready to end
 another stump
 and another
 resting from structure #3
 learning
 weaving on cardboard
 another variation
 and another
 and another
and another 
 yes, another
 dyed lokta
 fingers in tune with the web
 new beginning

 aki's notes
 convo
 old military linen weft
 weaving
