"I miss Odysseus; my heart is melting. / The suitors want to push me into marriage, but I spin schemes... By day I wove the web, / and in the night by torchlight, I unwove it."

I made this feverish, unwinding loom for @youremysunshine8 's bday, since she is reading Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey.

It's made from an old painting frame with the canvas removed. I painted the wood a darker color and hammered in a couple hundred tacks, which I strung with white yarn.

The weaving itself took a long time, since I've never done that before and wasn't using a real loom, though I did make a make-shift heddle from a ruler. The meander is woven in soumak, which means you wrap the weft around each warp instead of just going over-under; this takes a long time but gives it a really cool dimension.

I carved Penelope's hands from chipboard, and painted them the same color as the loom. I wanted to convey the "muscular, firm hand" from Wilson's translation.

Came across this in a report at work

My grandpa passed away recently and i keep thinking about how i never knew him without his crucifix necklace, my dad never once saw him without it, and in the first nursing home he was in his necklace got stolen. He no longer had the dexterity to take it off, not that he ever did in the first place. He had alzheimers' so my grandma took his rings and his watch before he could lose them but left him his cross, and it got taken from his neck. My grandmother can't have the one thing that her husband carried with him since he was eighteen because some stranger took it.
