i get the the story
or something of the sort, misquoting The Who in Tommy. Finished the TAST
challenge of this week-button hole.
Things i've learned:
- linen is beautiful,but stretches and the hoop needs to be constantly adjusted.Should have known that by the way linen yarns behave on the loom!
- i feel attraction to the negative spaces more than the positive ones
- i get bored doing an orderly sample
- i like to see "the maker's hand" . Although i really admire those perfectly perfect even stitches, controlled imperfection calls me - the wabi aesthetics and philosophy that attract me.
Now i have the whole weekend to weave and yosakoi
neki desu

I like your sampler. It kind of reminds me of a landscape, with the circle being the sun... anyway, it looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteI, too, admire perfect and even stitches but also feel a draw to a little bit of imperfection. (Maybe this is my way of justifying my uneven stitching!)
There are some exciting things happening! Keep going
ReplyDeleteI find using dyed or patterned fabric helps to loosen up the pattern. Like you I hate the uniformity of straight line and find myself losing interest.
ReplyDeleteI really like your sampler piece. It has a very Japanese feel to me. Almost boats out in the harbor, with a hillside with steps going up and across. I quite like it.
