Bee-line to the honeycomb

Do Me a Favor — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 16:00:00 +0000

This beautiful block of natural honeycomb caught my eye when at market. It was so fresh and interesting, I had to try it. Light, smooth, and surprisingly delicate; this honeycomb spread easily over my baguette and was a perfect pairing with warm brie. Truly the bees knees.

World of Weaving

Scarf by Suzanne Cali

Do you ever wonder what goes into creating that favorite scarf or shawl you bought at a local boutique or department store? I guess I always appreciated the beauty of woven articles, but it wasn't until I met Suzanne Cali, artisan and weaver, that I discovered the world of weaving.

The actual process of running the weft over the warp, is a small percent of the work that goes into creating a handmade textile. Weaving makes up only 10% of the process. The pattern must first be designed and the thread selected.
