Finally art starts again, tapestry artist books

I spent the evening thinking about spinning, and spinning up some nice silk and other bits of roving while I planned tomorrow's weaving.



Miniature book, covers 4"×2.5", golden rectangle. The pages will be my handmade paper. Not sure what thread to bind with yet.

I'll warp the loom tomorrow, once I decide which one and which warp thread. At this scale I can work on front and back covers in one warping on a small loom.

They will be tapestries, meaning the weft will completely cover the warp. What I spun tonight will be weft yarn.  The dark yarn is shot through with sparkle, lovely. The light isn't good for pix right now but I'm too excited to wait for daylight.

It's so good to be making again.

And I'm planning on having another try at spinning handmade paper. And other things.
