The white and red tapes were made
with a pickup technique. The blue and gold series were derived from an
Indonesian fabric. The red and black series were derived from Persian
carpets. |
 |
Inspirations
also come from abalone shells and Christmas motifs. |
 |
Kumihimo
cords made on the Maru Dai. |
 |
I
revisited
one of the first weavings I did to make these "Blooming Leaf" motif
pockets so Craig would have something to put his guitar picks in. The
center one uses hand spun silk for the weft. 4 shaft overshot on linen
warp. |

Another
4
shaft overshot miniture purse with kumihimo cord handles. This is one
of my favorite motifs of "Pine Tree and Snowball". Linen and cotton. |

Fancy
twill purse on painted rayon warp with kumihimo cord & beaded
closure. |
