SCARF 39







Scarf 39 is bright and bumpy.
Not everyone likes their scarf long,
so here's a shorter one.
The nice thing about it, is that front and back are so different,
but both pretty.
For sale at the Quartier Bricoléshop,
or you can mail me.

Measurements: 20 cm x 171 cm
Materials: wool, acryl, linen, viscose, cotton, polyester, other synthetic yarns

THE MAKING OF 39






Technique: Swedish Lace. 
(That's literally translated from Dutch,
don't know if it's the right term)
It's getting cold, 
people should wear more scarves :-)

CUPBOARDS AND A NEW START




The first picture: the flashy ones!
Second picture: bought all these cones on a fleamarket in Brussels.
They smelled like an old attic,
and they were tucked away in an old suitcase.
This suitcase was like a treasury to me :-)
Last picture:
scarf 39 and 40 taking form...

TEXTILE JEWELRY

Thinking more and more of doing something with weaving and jewelry.
This looks like crochet, but it puts me on the way :-)
