A collage of two weaving photos and two beach photos. Blues and greens and wavy, uneven shapes and textures tie them together: clockwise from top left: 1 . a rectangular Mexican Talavera tile tray with lime green and purple florals holding 10 white shuttle bobbins with different matte and shiny yarns in emeralds, limes, jewel greens, and turquoise, light and navy blues, smooth and boucles. 2 . A rocky beach with large, intense spring green algae covered boulders under stormy gray skies. 3 . Scarf width fabric on a small loom with dashes of navy blue, light blue and emerald yarn and bumpy boucle soft muted turquoise yarn. 4 . Sunset clouds with yellow highlights against a turquoise blue sky, colors reflected in ocean water swash on sand with ocean to the horizon. Trippy.

A photo of a loom with a bundle of warp yarn that has various shades of greens, reds/pinks, black and white

The warp after the pattern has been defined. The greens are on the outside then it transitions to white, then to pink and red with some black yarn spaced throughout the red portion. The pattern is meant to look similar to watermelon

The loom fully set up with it's new warp. The greens are on the outside then it transitions to white, then to pink and red with some black yarn spaced throughout the red portion. The pattern is meant to look similar to watermelon

Watermelon warp,
A farewell to summer days.
What will this become?
