As a study, it is easy to see how my thoughts evolved from one ruglet to the next, trying to get in fiber what was in my mind&#8217;s eye.\\<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-style-rectangular wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Ikat-Triptych-Rug-04.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"25169\" data-src=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Ikat-Triptych-Rug-04-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25169 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Ikat-Triptych-Rug-04-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Ikat-Triptych-Rug-04-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Ikat-Triptych-Rug-04-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Ikat-Triptych-Rug-04-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px;
