I'm a word nerd who loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon. I was an editor on the first 40 volumes of MAKE, and I love shining light on the incredible makers in our community. In particular, covering art is my passion — after all, art is the first thing most of us ever made. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for untouched powder fields and ideal alpine lakes.

The cover star of CRAFT Volume 08, the Weaving issue, Travis Meinolf continues to be up to great things. He regularly updates his Action Weaver blog with his newest happenings, workshops, and weaves. One of the coolest projects he worked on as of late is a collaboration with tailor Roy Slaper. Back in 2007, Travis hand-wove his own denim (apparently to to impress Sensei Nakajima on his visit to CCA), and Roy recently helped him to fashion the denim into proper jeans.
Here are the jeans in progress:
And the finished jeans soaking:
Great job, gentlemen! These are straight professional-looking!
If you haven’t already gotten your hands on CRAFT Volume 08, you can still pick one up in the Maker Shed. It comes with a cardboard loom designed by Travis. You just cut it out, follow his instructions, and weave away.
