Some time ago my mum gave me this piece of fabric with a very unusual toile - hills and houses!- that my grandma had bought ages ago. It's so ugly it could be truly beautiful, so I decided to have a go with it and weave some matching fabric - something stripey to contrast/complement the pattern.So here you go, I selected my colours: cotton and viscose yarn (shiny enough but not too much)
I am really pleased with the result, can't wait to see the cushions on my sofa!
My other projects are going ok, I managed to set up the loom with some other silk miniscarves: after the blue ones inspired to the Antarctic Ice, the next natural step was to try some other colourways - so this time I used some silk dyed with onion skins and cochineal.Will post some pics soon before the scarves disappear!

I was startled by this beautfiul photograph of your scarves in the corridor.
