I'm on some spinning (fiber) lists; one of the members in TX posted a note about his appearance on HGTV yesterday.

I wasn't home at noon when it was broadcast and Thk goodness - he posted it on You Tube.

He raises his own silkworms, does a very fast run-through of processing the cocoons (something I'd never quite gotten around to Googling yet) and weaves a silk bookmark.

The video last 6 minutes (Michael's 6 minutes of Fame!) - Please watch it!!

Wow, that was fantastic to see! He's in total charge of his art from start to finish, that's pretty cool.  I think this is the kind of thing they need to show more of in schools today. Not everything pops off of an assembly line and lands on a store shelf.  There's a process, a science, an art to life.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us!! :clap:
