And the Story Goes On...

Years ago I rescued a stack of middle school American History textbooks from the discard pile at my school.  I wasn't inspired to cut them up until last spring when I really started thinking about where our history is going and what it is going to look like in the future.

I created a tapestry of history that spills out of the textbook.  As I cut the pages and rolled sheets and sheets together, I was so intrigued by the captions and illustrations.  So many of the headings repeated themselves through history.  The artwork, illustrations, and photos captured so many faces and dramatic events.  As I compiled each weft of the weaving I found that if I included all the headings and images that were intriguing, the project would be more than I could handle!  I ended the weaving with Martin Luther King and tied off the warp and weft ends so that it could be continued.
