Near Staunton
On the way home now. Here are a few pictures from the past few days in and around Staunton, Virginia. We saw milkweed…
…and platters at an antique shop…
…and did lots of porch sitting…
…and gathered eggs.

I'm in the prep stages of a new jacquard weaving. This one incorporates portraits, so the aspect ratio must be accurate. The piece was designed with a balanced weave (epi=ppi). I wove a test strip, and found that with these particular yarns the actual woven epi is 64 and ppi is 48, therefore the woven aspect ratio is .75.
So I went back to the original layered file with weaves applied as layer styles, resized it, flattened it, and saved it as a tif to send to the loom. It should look right now.
