Weaves - “Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)” (Arcade Fire Cover) @ Polaris Prize Sessions.
Here is a sneak peak into my Infinity collection inspired by Chromatin Loops, which are structures found inside Chromosomes.
Transferring new patterns and ideas with traditional weaving techniques was challenging but exhilarating.

The colourful pattern on this loom is indicative of its origin, which is Eptakomi village.
.
Painting bold geometric patterns on furniture was common practice in Eptakomi, a tradition applied on looms too.
.
It was sold to me by refugees many years ago and it bears the husband’s initials as opposed to those of the weaver’s on one of its beams.

Very happy that my book on Fytiotiko weaving is finally out!
.
It covers traditional weave layouts, names and origins of woven elements (ploumia) as well as Fytiotika trading history, among others. Weave drafts and diagrams can also be found in the appendices.

Here is a piece (1st photo) by Mrs Georgia Theodorou (47*139cm) with some complex tassel work at the lower end.

Egg practicing some longer weaves - she’s really gaining confidence with weaves and soon we’ll be using these longer ones in her agility courses!

Donut working a fun new agility course with weaves and fetch. This course is particularly special because I’ve never had a rat do weaves at 2 separate points in an agility course - for some reason I thought it would trip Donut up, but she had no issues and found her entry both times! Very proud of this sweet girl and I’m also proud that she then was able to transfer her fetch trick to the course as well!

Omelets turn to try out spins and weaves in the same agility course - she’s really improved her weaving skills, and as for spin she needs a bit more practice doing it in a course, but overall she did great!

Donut weaving in a semi-circle while carrying a ball! One trick comes naturally to her (weaves, aka her favorite trick!), the other is the result of lots of practice (carrying an item, aka the hardest trick for Donut but one she’s learned amazingly well with practice!)
I like combining tricks that the rats both love from the start with tricks they need to work more on, because then they start to enjoy the tricks they need to put more effort into due to associating them with their favorite tricks!

Here was Pickle weaving with a ball from about a month back - present day Pickle is continuing to do well, although her facial abscess (which is on top of the tumor) did open up yesterday. It doesn’t smell bad, which is interesting because it smelled pretty nasty when it first leaked on Thursday - so hopefully that means the AB’s are doing their job. I’m kinda afraid to flush it due to the location, so we will see what my vet says when we meet up Wednesday for another checkup.
I’ll post some update pictures later showing the progression - thankfully Pickle herself seems to be unbothered and has no issue with me poking around the area either.

DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD:Justin Simien, who wrote and directed the lauded Sundance indie Dear White People which he turned into the Netflix series, will next write and direct Bad Hair. He will team with Sight Unseen, the newly formed production shingle of Julia Lebedev,Eddie Vaisman, and Oren Moverman. Lebedev and Angel Lopez produced Dear White People, and Lebedev is exec producer of the Netflix series spinoff.
Paralleling the rise of New Jack Swing in 1989, Bad Hair is a horror satire that follows an ambitious young woman who gets a weave in order to survive the image obsessed world of music television. Her professional success comes at a higher cost than anticipated, however, when she discovers her new hair may have a mind of its own. Simien has retained the biting satirical commentary but added genre bending thrills. Sight Unseen VP of Development, Angel Lopez, will oversee the film for the company. They’ve started a teaser website that will be developed over time as the movie takes shape.
Simien sparked to a team-up “with Sight Unseen in order to create work that both entertains and holds a mirror up to society. This will be both a love letter to black women and a critique of the cultural forces our society puts them through.”
