Helen Skowronski was a Seattle weaver, nationally known, who used a technique in which threads are twisted. This allows for open patterns which are stable and for the incorporation, in the weaving, of objects which will then stay in place. My friend Peter Hallock, in his weaving days, knew Helen and owns one of her creations. Peter asked me to photograph it. I'm showing a tight crop so you can see all those little twists holding the pattern open and the metal bar in place.
