  1. My latest tablet-weaving project, woven based on a 15th-century trim from Siksälä in Estonia, is done. And I am trying out some new style of photos to present my woven trims and belts with some driftwood and dried flowers.

  6. Yesterday's threads are today's trim.
    The pattern is that of Hallstatt Textile 123, which dates dack to the Celtic period. It was found in the salt mines of Hallstatt, where it has been reused and was thus preserved. Originally it was most probably sewn onto a sleeve hem.

  9. It ist so satisfying to have a newly threaded project on the loom. Soon it will be a trim with a pattern from the Celtic period of Hallstatt.

  14. This scarf is a gift for my uncle, inspired by quartz clusters we saw together backpacking in Cottonwood Canyon in Death Valley. From what I've been reading I think they were formed by intrusive igneous rock forming around xenoliths, and by cooling very slowly forming the incredible quartz crystals we saw, which looked like rings around the darker xenoliths in the weathered rock face we saw. I'm not trained as a geologist though and would love to find more information about the geology of Cottonwood Canyon from someone with some real expertise!

    The wool is targhee roving I got at the nor cal ren faire. I spun it on my small cross arm spindle and wove it on a loom I've been borrowing from a friend. It's plain weave set at 8epi. It looked very open on the loom, but fulled into a wonderfully bouncy and dense fabric.

    After fulling I scoured the fabric, then used rubber bands to do this shibori inspired dye process. After putting on the rubber bands I gave it a bath in tannins I extracted from an oak gall, then in a bath of cool water with just a tiny bit of dissolved ferrous sulfate. It was so exciting to see the fabric turn grey in a a matter of just a few minutes when I put it in the iron bath!

  20. #tatting has been such a great stim the last several days, i just fkn love how the thread feels, and im growing to love how my mistakes are immortalized in it and the metaphor for life that represents

    It used to be deeply distressing for me but i think that might have been learned, bc the more i tat, the less distressing the mistakes become, and paradoxically, the fewer i make and the faster i progress ✨

  21. Ive been referring to this #tatting piece as my "doily of mistakes"

    Im just letting it be the record of my learning process and passed time that it is

    I enjoy very much how the material and process feel, every knot is a new connection, the point is what it is and how it felt to make it, not what the finished product looks like

    Made with thrifted cotton thread

  22. Kunjina Tesfaye on Growth and Preserving #Artisanal Techniques.

    #Handweaving, #embroidery and #fabric manipulation are design elements that communicate stories about Ethiopia. “If you’ve seen photos of #Ethiopians wearing the traditional white dress, it’s handwoven.”

    Interview with Kunjina Tesfaye.

    When Kunjina Tesfaye talks about UDET, her eponymous #fashion label Kunjina’s collection, growth radiates. #UDET is a Geez word meaning cycle. Inspired by Ms. Tesfaye’s personal experience, this collection explores fear, productivity guilt, and growth. “It’s like a butterfly’s story or growth from the first stage, from the caterpillar stage into becoming a butterfly. I’ve used that metaphor to explain how a person goes through these stages to flourish and become the person they want. It’s a cycle. It’s not a one-time thing.”

    Since her debut as a twentysomething with a degree in construction technology, Ms. Tesfaye’s life and creative approach have evolved. “Every time I make a collection I’ve grown – my designs and the brand and the aesthetics, everything has changed or has grown.” Today, Kunjina has developed into a platform for local #artists. They lobby for growth, preserve traditional #handcrafting methods, and promote #ecofriendly practices.

  27. kann man diese Muster oder was vergleichbares mit Brettchenwebtechnik weben? weiß das irgendwer? ich brauche ein Band mit so nem Muster und würde es an sich gerne selber herstellen... #diy #brettchenweben #weben #weaving #bandweaving #handweaving

  28. My first #weaving project is coming along nicely, although I seem to have messed up the sett, since the reed spreads the warp a fair bit to the left and right of the actual fabric. Still, I'm enjoying it, and the fabric is turning out very well. I chose mercerized cotton for the warp and some cobweb-weight merino that I had no plans for for the weft.

  29. I'm getting close.

    I got myself a table loom a few months ago. The first project was with some cotton-sock-yarn, that had some stretch. I used only 4 of the 8 shafts, the warp was a bit over 2 m (or so).

    And then I got a bit cocky - 8 shafts, cottolin, 24 epi / 96 ends per 10 cm, 7 m warp, block twill. Dish towels.

    Didn't go too well - I had to rebeam the whole warp, but now it works.

  30. This is my #introduction post! I don't have any other social media, and am generally bad at keeping up with them, but I've been seeing a lot about #mastodon and figured I'd give it a go. I love the idea of connecting without algorithms and finding topics that genuinely interest me. To that end, I'll probably be "tooting" about #classicalmusic (I play #frenchhorn ) #fiberarts (I enjoy #handspinning and #handweaving among others) #mydogs and other random thoughts as they come to me.
