Hello. I think years have passed since my last post. A lot has happened. First of all, around early 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has swept throughout most of the planet and more than a million have already died. Some megacorps have already released some vaccines but we have yet to see its efficacy in combating the virus. Meanwhile, many countries including the Philippines still implement some sort of lockdowns or quarantine. People are required to wear face masks in public places. Large social gatherings are not allowed. The Dungeoners have not had any meetings since the lockdowns started. Well, limited public transportation can also be attributed to that. I try not to get out of the house unless necessary, like when i need to go to the hardware to buy parts for my project. Anyways, the covid virus i think will be part of our lives for years to come. I can not do anything about it. Just need to be careful not to contract it. Treatment will be difficult as most of the hospitals are full. Ok, enough of the covid for now and let us move on to my craft activities.
I told myself before that I would stop at cotton spinning. Well, after several visits to the H.A.B.I. Fair and the National Museum, and a one week weaving workshop at PTRI, I have finished constructing my very own working floor loom from scrap lumber lying around the house.
Besides the loom, I also had to build some tools necessary for weaving. There is no local stores I can buy them from. Instead of hiring someone, i thought i should learn to make them myself.
Pretty much, weaving is my main focus right now. Hopefully I can inspire others to take the craft themselves and consider slow fashion. For now, I will stop here. I will do my best to update at least once a week and revive this blog. If you are interested in any of my post, please drop a comment below.
Stay safe everyone!
