I recently finished my Saori piece on the Artisat , and still marvel at the orange burnt colour. In working with one colour of a single yarn, I wanted to explore density by grouping the weft and by playing with different amount of spaces between threads. The contrast is fascinating - especially when the fabric is held in the light. It was challenging to capture the true essence of the fabric, but for an "aperçu" - here's a few pictures.
A few months ago, I became the proud owner of a floor loom: the Artisat. Though new to me, my Artisat is nearly 30 years old, but in superb condition. The loom has aged so gracefully in the hands and care of its original owner that weaving on it has been a delight. My first Saori project on the loom: a scarf in one gorgeous colour ~ burnt orange!
Today, while gathering lavender, I sat in the garden and watched the bumblebees dance between flowers. The vibrant yellow of their bodies was such a beautiful contrast to the dark purple of the lavender flowers. And as I bunched up the sprigs of lavender to dry in the sun, a multitude of greys and purples suddenly revealed themselves.
