I'm deciding what fabric to mount it on for framing, and it might be a piece of silk from Cynthia. There's one warm color that might work. Or I might think about a piece of linen, or something with texture.
Meanwhile, see the beautiful shuttles I received today, the smallest for the Hokett loom, the others for the rhl.
And the heddle blocks arrived, seen here in action, supporting the heddle while I warp it. Once warped, the blocks are retired.
But here's the start of the next adventure, in saori weaving, on the heddle loom, yarns courtesy of Kamala, and including the threads I dyed recently, all of which will work well together.
My friends in art are the best!
this is just marvelous. Makes me want to fire up my own loom...and I love the colors of the threads
ReplyDeleteIsn't it cool that her donation works with my naturally dyed threads? Serendipity.
ReplyDeleteA friend was over this morning playing with the newly arrived shuttles identifying the wood for me, and generally liking it all. Wouldn't surprise me if he got into weaving.
I love the wonderful colours of those shuttles - I assume they're wood? Wonder if those are the natural colours of the wood itself or if they have been dyed.
ReplyDeleteThe shuttles are woods in their natural colors. Walnut, possibly ebony or some other dense wood and mahogany, I think. Aren't they lovely?
