Do you see the water?

This morning I got up early and instead of getting ready for some serious gardening, I sorted my plastic bags to use as weft in my "water weaving". Since it is suppose to be the Gulf of Mexico, I need murky looking water / grayish blue. So let us see how this will do. Will have to put up a picture of my beautiful, mostly hand dyed blue warp.

Yellow roses

I am quiet pleased how well my yellow roses dried. I gave them time to fully bloom open before I put them in little clusters to dry. Of course they shrank again but still they have a nice cluster of yellow pedals.  

Now I have to make decisions what to use as warp and weft.

Finished weaving 2 more pieces.......

I finished the pussy willow piece. I was surprised that it was more fragile then the rose piece. The little fuzzy things are coming off like crazy. Have to think about what to do to stabilize it. Right now it is neatly rolled up in a towel.

I used the leftover warp for another stick piece with hand dyed colorful weft. I love how it came out. The color got subdued thru the beige warp and the neutral sticks. Very nice.

Hopefully next week I will start finishing the pieces and put pictures up on my website.
