on loom breaks

front cover   back cover

i work on the nettle diaries. remember this gifted yarn? well, i finished weaving the pages before the holidays and  this is the first  book.

 pages1-2   pages 3-4

the material is very pliable albeit the stiffness of the yarn and takes colors and all kinds of abuses very well.the stitching is somewhat difficult due to the toughness of the yarn and the openness of the weave.
i want to let the weave with all the small  color nuances speak for itself hence all those empty spaces.
when finished they will  tell a tale of a trip into friendship.
