Before you commit

Flower Arranging

  • One tall bloom tipping the whole vase over would frustrate you.
  • Rebuilding the same arrangement three times sounds maddening.
  • Buying fresh stems that wilt in days feels wasteful to you.

Weaving

  • Warping a loom where one missed thread means redoing a section would defeat you.
  • You want quick results, not a tedious front end before any cloth.
  • You have no room for a loom and its lengthy setup.
