All Wound Up

This could be the most cheerful warp I ever made, which is interesting considering the seeds for this project came from such places as illnesses, death and prayers. But I like what I see, and I'm glad I made an 8-meter warp. I think it reflects my attitude to life. 

I was hoping to start threading today, but I dithered and dithered and vacuumed the stash room, among other things.  No excuses, just procrastinating, in the same way I used to eat my veggies first because I disliked veggies as a child.

Is there a psychologist in the room?

Two in one day! Cally's handspun, Navajo-plied tussah silk, and Mette's lovely autumnal silk.

Beautiful colours!, and I like that it is not symmetrical!

Symmetry? What's that? :-P

Wonderful colors :)

Thank you.

That warp is gorgeous, can't wait to see what it turns into!

Meg said...

Thanks, Sonya. I am actually looking forward to this; the structure is going to be super simple, so I can concentrate on weft colors as I weave.

At least that's the plan for now.

I must say that the picture of the weft makes me very, very happy. It is cheerful and as you say, that's interesting considering the source of the inspiration!

Ummm... My warped mind? :-)
