questioning sectional warping

30/2 cotton yarn, three chains . it took me less than 30 mins to warp the table loom.given the many things than can go wonky warping sectional i am begining to seriously question the method. at least in my practice. i've observed that thejapanese almos never warp sectionally. their warps are mainly extremely thin silk kilometers long; for example the standard kimono length is 4 meters give/take.

maybe sectional is a european thing because of the use of wool.this is me speculating,however, ever wondered the lack of dye recipes for wool in japan?yep, no sheep. they were brought in by the spanish and portuguese.

on the other hanf the warp from hell is already reeded.mind you i still had to correct the last two bouts sleyed. the debugging is going to be epic.

i wanted to be in the big girl's league so i converted to sectional without much analysing.maybe it's time to go back to regular before my ego gets resented.

the beat goes on

the cotton warp threading, overshot from the strickler's book with a twist.the top 4 shafts will give me an independent layer to bring up at will and do things with it. as mentioned this is a time warp paradox, it even also works as a pun.  ( ¨¨ ω¨¨ )   

the wefts are from the dyed stash, the warp will be painted.feel enthusiastic abou this particular project.

i've decided not to participate in shows where i have to create work for their concept.i want to work on my own concepts, weird or commonplace.if the work suits their call ,great. especially in these times that works are primarily judged on the artist statement and the ability to sell the work to the jury. life's too short,literally. reminds me of google updating their terms and functioning every couple of months.

saturday's labor

7kgs of fruitcake glory again.second time after the pandemic.it is such a big job , even with a helper,that i  had parked it. every year it's a source of wonder how i did it for 30+ years in my tiny barcelona kitchen.

soaking in rhum until xmas.one of the animated xmas cards already done,one to go.decors are going up next week ,so is the grocery shopping for the festivities.we're just two and it is a production. wonder about the production for a family let's say of five.

and thus begin the long weekend turned into a week here. bcse there are two bank holidays many take the whole week off . consequently europe is flooded with spaniards everywhere. the more pecunious take to south east asia or even japan. 8 days in japan minus two of travel time is something i would never ever do.
