Catching Up

Starting out today with a special treat.  Meet Fragrant Cloud, aptly named, and a new addition to my collection ~

Almost there ~

and full blown ~

Then, a fond farewell to one of the Sunshower towels, now happily living in Big Bend country in southwest Texas ~

Returning to current work, the All That Glitters series of scarves is now finished.  Washed today, and hanging as I write on the old wooden drying rack outside in the breeze.  Ironing and fringe-trimming are all that’s left to be done before they’re ready for new homes.  Vibrant, deep colors and interesting patterning give them a compelling presence.  I’m showing more than one view of each, as the shifting colors in the warp cause the patterns to appear and disappear.

#2, woven with a fine hand-dyed gold silk noil ~

#3, woven with a deep rust tencel ~

Coming next, working in layers, long imagined.
