Mary Zicafoose
Mary Zicafoose and Ikat weaving
- ... that dyeing the threads for a weaving by Mary Zicafoose (pictured) may involve wrapping, tying, and untying as many as 80,000 ikat ties? Source: I’m currently working on a commission for a home that will require about 80,000 ikat ties. When done tying I will dye the yarn and then untie all 80,000 design sections.

- I thoroughly enjoyed reading about this artist. Makes me, almost, consider taking up weaving. Review is underway and will be completed shortly. Cbl62 (talk) 18:21, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
Article is new enough (created 12/5 and nom'd on 12/11). Far exceeds the length requirement. Neutral and well and abundantly sourced. Earwig detected nothing nefarious (just some quotations that are properly attributed). Hook is short enough, interesting, and sourced. QPQ requirement satisfied. Photo has appropriately license and is quite nice. Putting a woman artist in the top photo slot would be wonderful IMO. Cbl62 (talk) 18:40, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
- Do you think we should crop it a little bit more, though? It's a little difficult to see her face in detail... theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 11:33, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Mary Mark Ockerbloom: I had the same thought about possibly trimming a little off the right and left edges, but also like the image of the work. I believe the nominator is also the photographer, and it would be good to get their input. Cbl62 (talk) 19:49, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
- For purposes of discussion, here is a possible cropping. Cbl62 (talk) 19:57, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
- I like the idea of having a little more space (and therefore ikat weaving) around her (see below) but for the purposes of a DYK, yours may be better. I will leave it to those assembling the page. Will cropping the image mean that the smaller version has to inserted into into the article in place of the one it is cropped from?
I've put my version there.Many thanks, Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 04:42, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

- Mary Mark Ockerbloom, DYK is allowed to use cropped versions of an image that is in the article; the cropped version does not itself need to be in the article. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:54, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
