FROM BLOUSE TO PURSE - SOLOLA

Sololá celebrates the artistry of Guatemalan women weavers.
Each purse upcycles a vintage huipil
(a traditional woman's blouse woven on the backstrap loom)
to create an individual statement.
Turned inside-out, the huipils are an explosion of color and hand work.
Each purse is assembled by Guatemalan artisans in Antigua
from textiles sourced at the famous Chichicastenango Market.

TWO SCARVES

Weaving two scarves at the same time.
This has nothing to do with speeding up my production,
it's just a 'white' and a 'black' one.
A little graphic experiment.
Also a different tie-up but the same threading.
No twins at all...

PATTERN DESIGN

She creates patterns out of salt using her voice.

Maybe I should try this at work...

(I draw textile patterns for a living,

weaving is at night and at home :-)

NICE FURNITURE FABRIC

Love the colours and the gradient, gives me ideas...
The fabric is made out of PVC, for outdoor use.
Would suit my garden just fine! :-)

BAG LADY

Very proud of this one,
a co-operation with the bag lady Dominique Dufait,
the MOOD bag.
You can see her other classy designs on
http://www.b-used.be/.
Maybe more to come! :-)

RECYCLE BASKET WEAVING!

Old plastic bins are recycled and get new again - holes are mended and plastic pieces are woven together with wicker, rattan and weed. Every bin is unique.
All Bins are handmade in Germany by local basket makers.

TROUVAILLES 2

Found these nice old wool swatches in a secondhand shop,
probably handspun wool in very natural colours.
Some are soft, some are tickly...
Maybe I will use them, maybe not...
