 I began my adventure with art about a year ago. 

Because of this, I consider myself to still be a beginner. 

Despite those facts, I enjoy art much more than any of my other activities, 

which include ballet and sports.

 I feel relaxed, excited, and so happy, whenever I'm creating things using my hands, 

especially when working with all kinds of fibers. 

It's a feeling unlike any other! 

            During much of my free time both at school and at home, I spin yarn, or weave on the loom that my amazing teacher Mrs. Sposa generously lets me use whenever I'd like. 

           

The picture directly below shows the skeins that I dyed recently. 

I've been feeling very colorful lately, which explains the bright hues. 

These yarns made me laugh, and made so happy that I  almost cried,

 even though that sounds like a pretty silly thing to do.

(I'd say I'm quite addicted to my yarn!) 

The picture above is of me weaving yesterday during our 4th period class. 

I turned my first woven piece into a small purse, and this time I hope to create another piece of art that will have a different but just as useful purpose. 

Anyways, I hope you all have a lovely day!
