Rather than become a football slacker (it's playoff time!), I spent the afternoon in the studio. It turned out to be a marathon session. I threw the shuttle about 2,300 times - enough to finish weaving runner #1 on the current blue and green warp. Here's how it looks as it winds onto the cloth storage beam at the back of the loom:
As you can see, the turquoise weft really pops where it bends around the beam. Sure looks like iridescence is guaranteed, a common feature of these interleaved designs. As the cloth moves in the light, one or the other of the three yarn colors will shout for your attention and completely out-compete the others.
So beautiful! Great work!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful design. Yes, you made very good use of your time during playoffs! Remember to be kind to your body.
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome, and so random-appearing. Love your work!
