about finishing

right off the loom and it sprung, but waiting for the wet finish to see the outcome. i've learned a lot here; about tension, about crepe yarns, about weaving a long warp on a table loom. who would have told me it was possible to develop rhythm weaving on a table loom!

still need to think about the overdyeing whether to use logwood or a red dye,whether to overdye it straight up or do the funks.

but without ray davies

those of you who came of age in the sixties will immediately recognize the pun.if younger you came across a venerable old man singing waterloo sunset during the closing ceremony of the london olympics.

pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone working with new to me materials. crepe wool presents challenges in warp and weft as well.

the crepe wool beamed relatively well with lots of patience. the fine wool had a different tension and was weaving loose, so i re-beamed( the ancients recommend 2 warp beams-but this was a no-go on this loom) and weighted the sections separately.

elections are over and life goes on.

and of life matters here. fancy a blue wooden floor?
