What's new? In no particular order. No pix this time.
- Sheep to Shawl! I was a spinner with Three Sheeps to the Wind in the Dixon Lambtown Sheep to Shawl Competition and we took 2nd!!! And I bought some zwartbles, and some alpaca.
- Working through the color gamp, and a little bored of it. I'm on napkin 6.
- At school, I did some woven shibori samples with tencel warp and tencel or polyester yarn. Then steamed the polyester, which takes the shape permanently. So awesome. I got great result painting one side one color and the other side another color. Love. Love. Love. I need to do more of this.
- Started on two deflected double weave samples on the school loom.
- Finished the hybrid vigour shawl? Poncho? Anyways, it's adorable, and the perfect weight for summer; good thing we have a few more weeks of warm weather!
- I made 2 T shirts in my sewing class and have cut out the next project, pants, and a 3rd t shirt. TShirt 1 is hand dyed but too big, but looks well made (Size 42 with FBA and a lot of tailoring). TShirt 2 was a miserable color of grey before I shibori'ed it and slightly tight at the bust (Size 40 with no mods); it's now indigo with grey lines; I did a super cute mock turtle and 3/4 length sleeves. Tshirt 3 will be size 40 with the FBA, wish me luck.
- Attended a wearable art show and bought an amazing vest and an awesome jacket.
What's next? Hard to tell. I'm operating on my Bonita shirt, planning on making into my Bonita skirt. Someday I'll finish my napkins. I also need to figure out a class project for the weaving class. I'll try to get some pictures to post...
