one of those big postcards

This was the original plan for March postcard for Calendar Girls, it was taking way too long and i had to design something else with the photo for the month. As you may recognize it was, yes, part of the NEW- aka never ending warp :).

Easter holiday gave me some time to finish projects and start others. And here is what happened to the weaving.

The iridescent blue is somewhat subtler, one can never photograph iridescence right.
And there's a lot of acting on on the weaving. i'm the decider right? WINK!

Which coincidentally brings me to some debate that's going around about the durability of Tyvek.
i think that if you're giving your work to friends, well poor friends will see their collection disintegrate, but friends are friends are friends.
But if you're charging for it there are other considerations.
i'm interested in your views.How do you feel about the issue?

BTW there's no Tyvek in the big postcard so Pat you'll have to burn it :)

the never ending warp-the end

This is like a Mozart symphony.You think it's ending, getting ready to applaud and there is a turn, a coda of a coda and it goes on.But it finally comes to an end .

This is the original project for the never ending warp, a double weave stripped scarf aka the first woven :) It didn't turn bad at all although it has not been wet finished yet.It's been raining a lot over here and i wanted to conclude the saga. As you may guess i am into sustainability and depend on sunshine to dry the laundry.

Here is the original tie up and it was woven tromp as writ. Lovely old fashioned term!

Now back to the warping board to finish the new warp.This one has been more judiciously planned and there will not be much remaining warp after finishing the project .Famous last words.

we interrupt the weaving briefings..

To do a bit of serious eating.Yesterday we hopped on a train and after a pleasant one hour ride we were in Tarragona one of our favorite day trip spots. Passion Thursday if you may.
Lovely weather, excellent food ,great wine and a walk around the countless Roman ruins, as it was at times the second most important city of the empire, right after Rome itself.

While having lunch in a lovely restaurant terrace in a plaza surrounded by the ruins i couldn't help thinking about my friend Passionate Eater and how she would have enjoyed this. She gave me an award last week and i wanted to do something special for her, as it really rocks when someone outside the weaving-textile world enjoys your blog.
Therefore photos here for your vicarious enjoyment :) :) And for everyone else!

More weaving tomorrow.
