SCARF 55 - THE PEGGY SCARF

He's not big,

very light and fresh!

Scarf 55 was ordered by my friend Peggy.

She gave me very specific colour instructions,

I used them in my warp

and the weft is completely my own choice.

But she liked it!

Happy birthday Peggy! :-)

ACTIONWEAVER TRAVIS J. MEINOLF

Travis is a weaver.
He builds his own looms and weaves textiles,
cloth blankets and such by hand, but his practice is also much more than that.
It is social and educational in the best sense.
He organises communal production,
workshops and guerrilla interventions,
where he brings his loom into public places or
private buildings and gives spontaneous weaving demonstrations
for the people that he meets.
He is very much concerned with questions of individual freedom
and of unalienated labour, the ideals of pleasure in one’s own work,
ownership of the means of production, and uncommodified distribution.

The work of Travis is explicitly anti-industrial and handmade.
He is maybe part of a wider recent cultural moment,
a craft revival and an increased interest in do-it-yourself approaches.

I like Travis! :-)

FIFTYFIVE (AND SIX)

Someone wanted kinds of grey,
some white,
some black,
some grey/blue
and a dash of fuschia.
maybe yellow.
Weaving has started!
