This fantastic photo on Flickr triggered the idea to turn the pattern into a fabric. Et voilà...
I wanted the "leaves" to be a little more spaced than in the original design - and the good thing about sampling is that you can "adjust" your weaving by changing to a suitable thicker weft or even stray from the original idea and use a different treadling without being worried of "ruining" your fabric. The honeycomb effect really comes out after the fabric has been washed, so trying out different yarns in the weft is always a good idea!

That's great! I love that you had that idea, and that your cloth is so interesting!!
I'll have to look in my dish cupboards to see if there's something I would like to complement. (I really like weaving things for my house for some reason.)
As always, your photos are beautiful!

How neat to see the whole progression, from inspiration to finished product. It really does go well with the pattern on the ceramics! Great job.
Doni, that is amaaaaaaazing. Absolutely fantasmagorical.

Thank you Sue, Kalli, Anne, Amanda and Margreet!
It's incredible how simple things can be really inspiring - Scandinavian designers are great!
Thank-you for sharing this project. I'm always very impressed by the way you achieve an idea via your weaving.
Inspired!
