Meanwhile I am so inspired lately. There is a story behind these colors. I was watching the cooking channel. Giada was on. She was on her way to the LA Philharmonic and I have no idea what she was cooking but her dress!!!!! OMG! It was a dark dramatic eggplant with a V-neck down to here and trimmed with a sapphire blue banding at least 1 1/2 inches wide. That was it. It was perfect. I couldn't stop looking at it. Then I searched my storeroom and grabbed anything that was close. Now I'm warping and while it isn't exactly the colors she was wearing, it would totally go with it! I'm in love!

Luckily, new ribbons from Webs. See previous blog!
Building my warp...
Adding a big of green and some red purple...
Finishing with some deeper eggplant...
Warp going on the loom...Tomorrow maybe after finishing the threading I can photograph the weaving!

ReplyDeleteCait, your work is so beautiful and inspiring. I look forward to your posts and pictures every morning. I have a barn frame loom that I'm restoring, and I was told that it originally was found in a barn in Potsdam. I don't have any other information about it. ~Doreen

ReplyDeleteI think the summer, early fall is such a hard time for blogging - I know I've not had a spare minute to visit blogs, and have barely blogged myself. Soon we'll all be squirrelled away for the winter though. : -) Your weaving is GAWGEOUS! I hope I can get something going on the loom this winter!
ReplyDeleteOh Jayme, I was just feeling a little lost and whinning...but you guys are the best!! And I didn't know you were a weaver! Can't wait to see!! xo
