	Estuary Earth Air Fire Water Dance to the Music	COLOR & WEAVE      In these most recent weavings, I explore    interactions between color, design and weaving    techniques that take advantage of some special    capacities of the loom. Navajo twill is a    seemingly magical arrangement of the loom that    produces diagonal lines, zigzags, and   diamonds--either alternatively or in   combination--for background patterns to other   tapestry techniques (see "Estuary," "Night Life,"   and "Earth Air Fire Water" for flamboyant   examples, "Bright Earth" and "Red Squared" for   more controlled geometries).  With wedgeweave,   bands of weft angled alternately left and right   impart their own life and energy to any design  ("Dance to the  Music" and "Red Arrow"  ).
