First picture: weaving at night, scarf 62! Second and third: my loom just got back from the weave-doctor, with 8 more shafts! From 8 to 16 shafts, have got some experiments to do :-) Last picture: did some woolshopping today!
Furoshiki is a very unique yet quintessential Japanese item that has been ingrained into Japanese life. It’s second nature to most Japanese to use a cloth like this in it’s various ways – whereas to many foreigners this is a novel but slightly alien idea. The beauty of the furoshiki is it’s versatility – there are endless ways to use one, all you need is a bit of imagination. And ofcourse: no waste of paper! :-) Video: http://thelinkcollective.com/ Pictures: http://ambataliafabrics.blogspot.com/
Paulette Peroni was a fiber artist. She would use any type of technique: weaving, knitting, embroidery, collage, crochet. My favourite is the last piece, called 'Yellow Teardrop'' (knitting).
