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!
My sister finally moved into her new flat with her partner and this morning we enjoyed a coffee in her kitchen! The photo above this is yesterday's coffee in my studio - I need to balance the dullness of the sky outside with bright colours - these are the yarns for the next warp!
And this is my silk mini-scarf still on the loom.
