Wonderful Copenhagen

My christmas present this year: I have got the Marie-Curie-Grant for my project at the Centre for Textile Research in Copenhagen. Thanks to the Gerda-Henkel-Foundation. The course of the project will be documentet here in this blog. It starts in Munich in January and I will go to Copenhagen in February.

Penelope is waiting ....

Actually I am busy with planning future projects while I await the decision on an application for a grant. Well, Penelope is quite used to waiting, but it is never amusing. So I tried to make a tagcloud from my project description and happened to come across wordle. And here is the result:

Sorry, I was very busy the first part of the year. Now I startet my profile on facebook and learn about the advantages of blogging.
The penelope weave is kind of ready and looks like this:

You may see it at the Museum für Abgüsse Klassischer Bildwerke in Munich. Now I want to make a machine that weaves for me when I am absent. This is the first prototype for testing.
Well Ms Penerobot cannot weave yet and is too small for working on the big loom. So I have to make a small one for her.
