stages

weave grunge

right now everything around me is in stages. i am even in stages. going through the early spring famished stage. does that happen to you too? i get so incredibly hungry in early spring and fall.

the work above was a weaving sample in the early stages of its life. after lots of painting some machine stitching and collages of sorts all it needs to be finished is that mythical little something that will make it sing  (._.)   sigh!

 this one on the left is at its very early stages.
knit grungea sketch of a work.
a machine knitted linen sample that is in the process of finding its identity. so far it has been swathed in paint while the other layers are under construction.

the weaving is mid stage while the 24 sha loom has finally finished the warping stage. now on to error checking and correcting. curious that i weave much faster on the table loom albeit it being totally manual.
it  most certainly has to do with its bigger shed.

dyeing is also proceeding in stages, the brazilwood silk is already finished, the indigo will start soon and there's also a screenprinting project on the back burner.

even my plants are going through stages.two clematis went down  the president and the viticella minuet but the multi blue came back to life after the bug attack .it's complicated growing clematis here and i'm really looking forward to moving up north and being able to grow them there.

 weave


chugging along. the weave is open, but it will -hopefully- collapse as it's an unmercerised cotton weft on a high twist cotton warp.it's a 2/2 twill and the real thang will be achieved, again hopefully, in the dyeing.
spring is a season of hope and promises!

draft
the draft. no rocket science because i'm weaving it on my table loom hence doing the lifts by hand.
i am being taxed more than enough with the other warp which is as mentioned yesterday still in the beaming process. i'm sure you do not want to know why.  if the warp yarn behaves as expected the longish floats where the diamonds flip will create some cool texture.


answered prayers




berries

this yarn finally became the one above.after just two days of sun dyeing. very hot sun and the final trick: more dye liquor :D

spring is indeed a season of hope and promises!
