It is delightful to weave in scenic surroundings! After two full days of hiking and exploring remote vistas in Big Bend Ranch State Park we had a leisurely do-nothing day. Time to take the loom outdoors. En plein air weaving!
Our campsite is at the base of Lajitas Mesa.Hiking the Fresno Divide Trail in Big Bend Ranch State Park in west Texas.Mountainous views in the desert.Fresno Canyon vista, with the mountains of Mexico in the distance.En plein air tapestry weaving during a leisurely morning. Camera tripod cover doubles as a loom topper that prevents the loom from scratching the Casita.Wool yarn for the Casita tapestry is wound on labeled cards and kept in spare Tupperware Modular Mate containers.
We also went exploring in Big Bend National Park.
Hiking in Santa Elena Canyon, with Mexico to my left and USA on my right. And the Rio Grande River in between.Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park, the least visited National Park in the United States.
And then, I like to wind down the day with some quiet evening tapestry weaving in the Casita. And Steve pulls out his travel pouch for some leisurely woodcarving. Ah…all is well.
