Hi Terry. Just cruised on over to your blog. Sorry, I didn't know you'd posted recently, and am glad you did.
This piece is really beautiful. I love the weaving, and how you incorporated two images. How in the heck did you do that? And the colors are great. The whole piece is great.
I hope you keep posting your new works. And your granddaughter is a real cutie!
