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 is so interesting, I always wondered how that was done.What a clever chap. :clap: :clap: :clap:
I saw that episode yesterday! It was fascinating and well worth watching again. Great job Michael!
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:
