Samples

I'm in the process of putting together photographs of my work for a graduate show catalogue. There is something to be said for getting a friend to take the photographs, especially when they have great digital camera and don't mind cake as payment. Thanks Gus!

Luna jacquard. Cotton and viscose.

Handwoven scarf in paper. Silk and cotton.

Small brooch samples in twill and rya knot techniques. Silk and cotton.

A cushion of sorts

I thought I might start with my latest stuff. I bought some beautiful spec dyed cotton from Avril in a few colours and decided the grey would be perfect combined with a great greenish yellow mercerised cotton I found at Dairing. I had wanted to finish this (not so) little project by Wednesday but ran out of yarn as I was just over half way through warping up. So my warp is pictured left along with the 2" wide ribbon I wove for the piping. I loved weaving this. Inky navy with white Habu paper yarn as weft. Will keep you posted once I've woven the panels and sewn it together. Also in the works is a moon cushion. Kinda excited about that one.

I couldn't help but post a photograph of the yarns themselves. The white/black skein is a beautiful viscose yarn from Habu.
