Samples of the pea project

At last the first samples of the pea warp.
A mono and silk mix that when washed create a seersucker type of fabric, which makes the thick silk jump off the fabric.

Now I've got these off the loom I can plan the next samples.

pea warp

an unexpected break in my paid work means that this week I will hopefully have my next pea inspired warp on the loom. Its different from the last one in that it is a single cloth, and I have dip dyed the warp in lovely shades of pea green. So in a few days all being well I shall have some photos.
Now I just have to go and work out the peg plans ............

Drawing

I'm on a snow day today as the yarn I was expecting today has not arrived due to the bad weather. Bad news as I'm on a tight deadline for this piece of work so it'll mean catch up over the weekend.
But to fill the time I've gone back to my sketch books and started to do a bit of drawing to try and get inspired for the next time I have a bit of time for my own work. Which will hopefully be in a couple of months, as there is a spring art fair I want to put some work in.
I'm drawing beads, cups and saucers and glasses, trying to create the look of the antique/charity shop. I want to do big ish drawings of all the nicknaks on the shelves at Oxfam where I volunteer. Then some how tie those in with the old fashioned look fabrics I wove a few months ago.
