CIRCULAR WEAVINGS

Found these at one of my favourite blogs,

Nothing is New.

She made them on a piece of circular cardboard,

as shown on the last picture,

or how different a loom can look!

To me a modern approach to handcraft.

Thanks, Kelly! :-)

SCARF 53 IN DETAIL

SCARF 53 AND 54 - BLACK AND WHITE

The twins are ready! :-)
Most of the time they are black and white,
and sometimes they meet.
Mostly cotton and linen, so they feel very crunchy,
but they will become softer when worn a lot.
Soon available at my webshop!

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.

I want one!

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! :-)
