The hologram effect that is produced by the interleaved threadings is most pronounced in the scarf shown below. Both photos are the same piece. Really. I didn't move the scarf at all or the camera more than an inch or so between shots. The main difference between the two pictures is the angle of the light.
In the first shot, without flash, the origin of the light is the windows beyond the fringe end of the scarf.
In the second shot, with flash, the origin of the light is of course the camera, at the near end of the scarf.
Alice wished for shots of the scarf on a model, showing this hologram effect, but things are kinda too busy right now to enlist the next-door-neighbors' teenage daughers for a photo shoot, so this will have to do. Imagine wearing this scarf draped simply over your shoulders. As you move in the light, the cloth will change. Sometimes one design will appear, sometimes the other. Really.
Tomorrow we're packing up the van and driving to Napa for a couple of days. On Thursday, we set up the booth at ACC, and the show is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If there are wonderful things to see (always the case at ACC) that I'm allowed to photograph (not always the case), I'll try to post again before getting home next Monday.
I hope to see a few familiar faces at the show!

Good luck at the show. The photos are very instructive, even without a model! I hope these beautiful scarves find a new home.
I'll be getting to the show at opening time to make sure I can see this. I don't think it'll last an hour on the table...
It's just amazing!
Amazing, and lovely!
Hope you have a successful show and a very fun time at ACC.
Sweet! Stop posting such great thing or I might have to get a bigger loom. This is stunning.
Can you post pictures of people fighting over who gets which scarf at the show? ;-)
Just gorgeous! Kathyinozarks
Well, that is just to freakin' cool!! I love optical illusions and getting something like that in fabric is even better!
