first, some flowers for the new year. sorry to sound like the herald of doom, but we need to hang in there. the chinese horoscope says it's the year of the dragon and it's a difficult sign. i'm pretty sure we'll work difficulties out if we as a community support each other.
now for the weaving part. the sample slightly qualifies as loom shibori because the ripple is very slight. not too sure whether is the spacing, the warp being wool too or the universe conspiring ^_^ tried 4 wefts to one supplemental and 2 to 1 and the latter works slightly better. i can sample with a heftier merino and see what happens, but i'm afraid to use too much warp and then end up with not enough for the top. although i might live dangerously and do more sampling.
looking forward to an on line stitching workshop with
arlee.
i quote:
"You’ll have to forget some of the rules about embroidery we’ve all strained to achieve when first learning: even stitches, perfectly aligned fabrics and untwisted threads, none of them are welcome in this spontaneous, intuitive and eccentric style! "
sounds like my kind of stitching!
