time for a pause

And lots of walking.

So i'll leave you with a very inspiring post i found at Exploring the Surface.
Be back in a couple of weeks to a goodie care package from my fairy godmother .

TIF -where did this month go?

i intended working with this month's concepts, as they were very appealing. But suddenly it's the end of the month and i haven't thought or written anything coherent. The heat and the indigo vats must have really affected me :)
And as i'm doing pretty well in this TIF challenge i don't want to lag behind. The option thus, is the colorway.

i developed this shadow weave from a profile i designed and which i'm unable to locate now.
It's a simple 12 shaft parallel threading. There are a few 3 end floats, but these are design elements. Honestly!

Here are cloth views of different color combos from this month's colorway.
The work was done using Fiberworks PCW, my regular weaving design software. The draft is open source and open to further interpretations. In other words be my guest and enjoy!

aizome show and tell

Some of the work. As the vats are quite healthy i'm getting hold of everything i find and blueing it over :). i'm especially happy with the rust and indigo sibori cottons. More of those to come.
And the wool yarn is not bad either.

i don't care if monday's blue,
tuesday's grey and wednesday too..
i'm in love...
