This was wild, just kidding, well, very unconventional, and so inspiring. You are like an art teacher, you know how to get the creative juices flowing. Thank you❤😊

[@mistikomakes]

Ha ha. I used to teach art classes, in a very unconventional way (which I’m sure won’t surprise you!).

[@rebecca-familyrich7764]

Happy New Year to you too. Love watching your videos

[@mistikomakes]

I’m so glad you like them

[@sandrahickey3593]

Happy New Year to you too. I was gasping when you added sharpy markers, but I'm sure it will turn out beautiful like you say. I like the free form running stitch too, just go in any direction you feel like doing.

Tee hee I wanted to start out with a bit of a twist

[@userpharnorth]

I learned to weave after my sister passed away and I ended up with her floor loom. I took classes and was learning all about twill, overshot, ect... There always seemed to be only one way to do these styles (according to the instructor). Then one day I learned about Saori. I drove to a to a nearby town and was given an introduction to this style. Holy Mother of God what an eye opener. That little spirit in me that felt so restricted by warp and weft has been set free. I now have room in my life for both types of weaving styles (as well as tapestry, peg, and weaving on flat rocks). Creativity is So very FUN.

[@mistikomakes]

I know that’s how I felt when I discovered Saori. It’s like someone justified the way I’d always done things, but always felt like I was doing it wrong. We really do have a lot in common. Do you know of a weaver/ embroidery artist named Anita Mayer? I think she lives in Coupeville. Her books were hugely inspiring to me when I first started weaving

Thank you so much for not repeating what you've already done (running stitch, in this case)! I have seen so many artists do the same thing over and over again "for the newbies". Well, guess what, newbies can look up a previous vid on the subject - just because the viewer is a newbie to a channel doesn't mean they are new to computers, and programs, and how to search. It's like that stupid question that so many ask after demonstrating a technique: "Does that make sense?" Of course it makes sense! Stop talking down to the audience and stop pandering to the lowest common denominator. Two of my pet peeves and the main reason I unsubscribe from many channels.

[@mistikomakes]

Thanks for the feedback.That's exactly why I made a separate video about the basic stitch. It's always hard to balance giving too much vs too little detail. Good to know about the "does that make sense". I know I say that from time to time, mainly because sometimes I'm not actually making any sense in my own head!
