And here's another look at #1, down under the loom. I'm always amazed at how different the cloth looks from different angles. From the back of the loom looking along the length of the cloth, I see long swoopy curves; from the side, I see egg-shaped ovals.
Yesterday, while weaving the last few inches of #1 and starting on #2, I had a humidifier running right next to the loom. No static making the weft misbehave. Hooray! However, it's quite hot - mid-90s (F) outside - and the extra humidity made the studio feel like a sauna! Oh well, I guess I'd rather sweat a little than deal with static electricity.

Oh well, sweating for your art is better than bleeding? :^)
The scarves are absolutely gorgeous. You're tempting me to try more moire effects - something I've avoided up until now. :}
Cheers,

I've got the dehumidifier running almost constantly in the studio these days. Something that I never thought would happen living in the Sierra foothills -- it is usually so dry. But I agree -- the humidity is preferable to the static electicity!
