This is my favorite scarf from the most recent warp. Bright, summery colors that remind me of beach umbrellas.
Not much is new here- planning on putting weaving aside this week to work on Hungry Mother (possible website coming soon?)- Albert and my film-in-progress.
Today's scarf was inspired by china plates with painted coi swimming about on a pale yellow hutch. I've used these plates before with more pumpkin-y rich autumn tones- here's the spring version.
Found this on my desktop I had been meaning to share.. fuzzy little ice blue hat I knit for my pal, Rachel, for her birthday earlier this month.
Finally! It seems I've been waiting for ages for these scarves to be ready. I've spent all afternoon (say it with a British accent- I did) photographing and editing, all while happily listening to episodes of This American Life. This scarf was inspired by a photo of beautiful and expensive ($100 a yard?!) floral curtains on a sun porch I have pasted in my journal. I'm imagining somewhere in Atlanta - probably because I saw Gone with the Wind for the first time last night at the Dryden Theater. Such gorgeous costumes.. I want a hoop skirt and wonder when they will come back to fashion?
In other news, Albert and Jon have put up a website for their film in progress. Check it out for a trailer, bios and information about how to get your hands on a copy of the DVD and soundtrack when the film is finished!
The sky is getting darker and it's only 2:30. Rain is soon to come (feed those Magnolias- can't wait to see them blooming) which will make me postpone the photo shoot for the next batch of scarves. Six of them! There is still plenty to do with my afternoon though- tying fringe and writing descriptions for etsy can be done rain or shine.
Shavingkitsupplies was nice enough to include me in a treasury on etsy. Check out her shop for unique embroidered brooches above and vintage paper colleges here.
