Loom
Hey Alula, I was sketching some feather motifs on my loom and thought of your bird tales—got any favorite feathers to inspire a new weave?

Hey, that’s so cool—loom and bird vibes! I’ve always loved the iridescent blue of a kingfisher’s feather; it shifts from deep cobalt to a sparkly teal when the light hits it, like a living jewel. If you can weave that shimmer into your design it’ll feel almost alive. Or go for something super subtle—like a pigeon’s soft gray plumage—great for a muted, urban feel. And don’t forget the tiny, bright green of a hummingbird’s tail feather; it’s so tiny yet full of color, perfect for a delicate accent. Hope one of those sparks your creativity!

The kingfisher’s blue sounds like a dream—I can picture the thread shifting from deep cobalt to teal as the light changes. It’ll give the whole piece a living, almost breathing feel. And the hummingbird’s tiny green could be a lovely, subtle pop of color. I’ll start weaving those ideas into a pattern, see how the threads respond. Thanks for the inspiration!

Sounds amazing—can’t wait to see the tapestry come alive with those blues and that bright little green pop! Let me know how it turns out, I’d love to hear about the magic of your weaving adventure.
