The other night I asked my two-year-old if she was ready for bed and she paused, stuffed cat in one hand, pushing a doll in a stroller with the other, and said, “No. I’m busy. I’m playing right now.”
I remember that feeling of being absolutely engrossed in play and the one thing I can compare it to as an adult is creating art. There’s this wonderful joy -I’m sure you know what I mean - when you’re weaving something that you really love and you’re so excited to see how it turns out that you just don’t want to stop weaving. It’s a fantastic feeling. It’s a feeling that brings you back to childhood, that reminds you of those days when you were busy just playing.
For the month of April, we’re encouraging you to weave every single day, to find those moments of bliss. Maybe you only have five minutes a day, maybe you have an hour or two, but the goal is simply to find time to weave. Everyone who submits their weaving log for April (even if you’ve missed a few days) will get a HUGE discount code to mirrixlooms.com and a special gift with any order placed with that code and one person will win a Saffron Pocket Loom, or $110 towards any other Mirrix Loom or Loom Accessory.
How to Participate:
-Download our .PDF weaving log here
-Weave every day in April (or try to)
-Check the box or write down how long you wove each day
-Post photos of your work to Instagram or Facebook with the hashtag #weaveeverydaychallenge or email photos to elena@mirrixlooms.com*
-At the end of the month (by May 4th) email a photo of your log to elena@mirrixlooms.com**
We will send out discount codes to participants and announce a winner the second week of May!
*This part is optional, but active participation will factor into choosing our winner. We reserve the right to share on social media all photos emailed to us, credited to the artist.
