A creative mess is better than a tidy idleness.
Hope you did not miss out on the fun weekend of ShorelineArts Trail’s Open Studios. Thanks to the many people who dropped in, shopped, chatted and generally made this artist feel appreciated. If you missed the weekend, call the artists and make an appointment….while supplies last:) and the studios are still tidy.
At last I have finished Hannah’s vest. Custom fit for her. Luscious chenille with a hint of glitz. There’s a turquoise one at my Open Studio this weekend , Nov 23,24.
Wrap yourself in velvety chenille. Blues, blue green and elegant black. OPEN STUDIOS NOV 23 & 24. Visit me.
I need to name all my weavings. This photo shows the fabric used (apples on blue background) to weave the rug. So do I call the final piece “Rotten Apples”? It looks like chili peppers or lobsters to me. Your thoughts are welcome.
Opening reception for Shoreline ArtsTrail at Wall Street Gallery in Madison, CT. preview works by many of the artists who will have their studios open November 23-24. Join me from 5-7 and enjoy some wine and nibbles, meet some artists, see some art and have some fun. The exhibit is there all of November.
D’s Harris Tweed Revisited: Shaker style with twisted weft and braided trim
Still seeing red due to lack of sleep, bad world news, crazy politics, powder post beetles and dark mornings. My antidote? Weave that red into some magic carpets. Voila… The seeing red series is laid to rest…for now.
Production mode!
First wind 160 threads, three yards long each.
Then thread the loom with each thread, through the reed, through the heddles.
Wind all onto the loom making sure all is smooth and under even tension
Wind the bobbins.
Start to weave.
