Sample: Supplementary Weft

Suplementary weft: to add in weft separate from or in addition to the given weft. As you can see, in the weaving above I have alternately supplemented the weft of the tabby (far right), the actual weave structure, both simutaneously (the middle section), and in place of the weft (the bright green to the left [...]

Uncounted Moments

This is the final piece (or rather, a piece of the piece) for my color blog project. Now that it’s off the loom, it measures approximately 90″x30″ (so, around 2.5 yards in length).

When Shadows Meet the Shadow of an Idea

The weaving has begun! I wove around seven inches today, a few inches of natural bamboo just to get started and then the entry for my first poem using a bamboo/wool blend. I love seeing the way the color takes form when it meets the warp; on it’s own, the grey is indeed rather charcoal-like [...]

I think underneath my skin I must be some kind of other creature
