12 x 14.5 inches, 8 epi. Undyed wool, 4 strands.
Even tho’ all one colour, at one stage 10 bobbins were dangling!
Clearly only an apprentice piece with lots of egregious errors – but a hell of a learning experience with sumac, chaining, twining and pseudo-twill all jumbled up together. But, ah, the texture!!!
A person of uncertain age who has lived in Melbourne, Australia for 50 years or so after a little intercontinental wandering, and while collecting the usual life baggage, has NOT been a barrista, desert explorer or bus driver, but HAS been a proofreader-editor, computer programmer and psychiatric social worker, has outlived several cats and accumulated daughters, great-nephews, a soulmate and piles of books, many unread, and now listens to classical, jazz and folk, potters around on looms and cameras, sketches and doodles, occasionally writes words with a pen (or keyboard), and records some of the various results here (pause for breath).
Great start on soumack and twining! they are some of my favourite techniques. It’s really effective for draawing lines and directional lines!
