The back side of two child-size Chilkat robes side by side on Clarissa’s front porch – yes, it is past mid-October and it’s warm enough to weave! Where are we? Well…the color of the sky is the big give-a-way! We’re NOT in Southeast Alaska…
As I demonstrate on my robe, Crystal learns on hers. It’s the perfect pair. In this way, I don’t weave her experiences – she weaves her own experiences. The weaving looms are quite portable and compact. They were originally designed by my Ex and I years ago; these ones were created by local woodworker, Bill Hill.

Crystal Rogers weaving her Chilkat robe; it is almost ready to begin weaving the design field – how exciting!
Drawing upon other Chilkat robe designs Clarissa has designed laying about her drafting table, Clarissa draws preliminary sketches for Crystal’s Chilkat robe.
