Thoughts on weaving with Damon Mahan

Image
 "Working with people's special orders - you pick out fabric to match what they want. You design the rug. I start with colored media and put them next to each other.

I sew them together in a pattern that I chose. Then I weave to make it into a rug."  "Weaving makes me happy. It relaxes me. I am proud of the work I do. It is exciting to see the rug form from nothing to a rug. I am happy showing people how I weave."
