So I discovered yesterday that one of my garments is on the Etsy gift guide fall fashion pages! Check it out...http://www.etsy.com/gift-guides/fall-fashion/133.

Soooo...I have started making a warp for my new weaving, and I have chosen to use some different materials. The warp will be made out of a mixture of two yarns, irish lace (cotton), and a natural silk that is unscoured. The weft material will be a handspun inca cotton, medium weight. I think the three different materials will combine to create a wonderful texture. I may do a faux ikat surface pattern by painting the warp and leave the majority of the weaving natural. Here are some pictures I thought I would post to share the process of weaving. Step 1) create warp on warping board. Check!

I finished this weaving about a month or two ago.  The weaving was created on a four shaft loom with superfine merino wool, merino wool, and cotton.  All of the material was hand dyed in an immersion bath.  4'x6'

For my second print I chose the migration of geese as my source of inspiration.  Every fall or spring I am reminded that the seasons are going to change when I look up into the sky and see a flock of geese moving through the air in a v-formation.  Their ability to adapt to new surroundings every couple of months and make a new home without hesitation or fear is amazing.  Most people do not pick up and leave unless it's necessary.
