Speaking of envelopes, note to self: Next time, measure the envelopes before planning the size of the bookmarks! The envelopes are 8.25 inches long (plus a little sticky flap that is supposed to fold over and seal), and the bookmarks are about the same, so the flap can't fold over. Obviously, there was a reason I wove 6.5-inch bookmarks last year.
As for the next project, I'm still fiddling with drafts, and haven't made any decisions. It could be more in the Fire series, but I have an idea for a bark-like design that would fit into the Wood series nicely. Or maybe more feathers - a customer (well, a potential customer) asked if I could do a feather design in very fine wool. I've got buttery soft 40/2 merino from the UK in a range of colors that would make lovely feathers, a sort of mallard colorway. Those would be faster to do because with the merino wool, it isn't necessary to take the time to make a twisted fringe. The wool fulls enough to stick together at the fell with no need for twisted fringe.
Decisions, decisions!

Lovely bookmarks! It looks like you had a lot of fun weaving them also.

Those bookmarks are so incredibly detailed! How did you finish the edges? I'm always curious - I feel like there's limited choices for finishing weaving.
