Since I started on my tape weaving journey, Eleanor Bittle has always been an inspiration. Although I never had a chance to meet her in person, yesterday, I had the most wonderful opportunity to visit Historic Trappe and part of Eleanor’s personal collection of tapes.

Seeing how she saved documents, articles and newspaper clippings, how she wrote her ideas and being able to put my tape next to hers helped me connect with her and her prized collection in such a unique way. I truly feel we were of similar minds.

I am so thankful to everyone that helped me make this possible. I’m already looking forward to return to revisit the collection.

I will post more photos later, for now I am processing everything I got to see.
