Weaving with wool

 These tapestries were all woven with wool from sheep that my Dad and his wife Ruth raise up in the Mt. Washington Valley in NH.  I was blessed to grow up around mountains, rivers, lakes and streams.  That and lots of rocks. 
These all take that wool (processed up in Bath, ME), dye it with acid dyes and weave it.  In doing so I transform the wool into neon shapes.   I call these the neon series, and I am currently still working on the fifth in the series.
