Grocery shopping
No, this picture has nothing to do with ikat, I just like it. This is the painting on the refrigerated box for a drink that I don’t remember the name of. Judging from the picture, it must’ve been a fruit drink, right?
Left: cartoon, Right: weaving
So, ikat experiments–You can see it all in the above picture. I’ve recorded the info on the cartoon; the cartoon is 6 inches, the woven is 2.5 inches. The yarn was measured in 1/4 inch increments for this experiment, so it makes since that this ratio is more than double the ratio for 1/2 inch measuring. The other cartoon with all its angles is not turning out very well. Maybe those need to be measured in 1/8 inch increments, something that I will have to think long and hard about.
spinning and roving
…and then there’s the spinning. About a pound of Romney roving rests on the floor beside the spinning wheel.
Circular-warped Mirrix
… and the newly warped Mirrix, warped in a circular way without the use of the warp bars. Another experiment.
small pieces
… and the small pieces I wove, oh, maybe a year ago. I trimmed them and dumped them in water. Next I’ll hem and stitch them to a canvas. Another experiment….
