Today I had a crafting video call with a friend and tried to finish things Id started ages ago for

Ive mentioned my neighbor who recently passed away. Well, one day about a year ago (after his diagnosis) he came to the door and told me to follow him to his house. He did this regularly: Come see. That day, he decided to show me his Southwest rug collection that hed built over years of travel. I had recently returned from a trip to Taos, NM and he knew I would appreciate them. His wife is in the process of getting rid of his things and gave these to me todaya truly special gift.

Pisa Dress, 16th Century Italian court dress, c. 1540-1580 (from the collection at Museo di Palazzo Reale, Pisa, Italy)

This scarf is a gift for my uncle, inspired by quartz clusters we saw together backpacking in Cottonwood Canyon in Death Valley. From what I've been reading I think they were formed by intrusive igneous rock forming around xenoliths, and by cooling very slowly forming the incredible quartz crystals we saw, which looked like rings around the darker xenoliths in the weathered rock face we saw. I'm not trained as a geologist though and would love to find more information about the geology of Cottonwood Canyon from someone with some real expertise!

The wool is targhee roving I got at the nor cal ren faire. I spun it on my small cross arm spindle and wove it on a loom I've been borrowing from a friend. It's plain weave set at 8epi. It looked very open on the loom, but fulled into a wonderfully bouncy and dense fabric.

After fulling I scoured the fabric, then used rubber bands to do this shibori inspired dye process. After putting on the rubber bands I gave it a bath in tannins I extracted from an oak gall, then in a bath of cool water with just a tiny bit of dissolved ferrous sulfate. It was so exciting to see the fabric turn grey in a a matter of just a few minutes when I put it in the iron bath!

Hiki-baku is a breathtaking Japanese weaving technique that turns mother-of-pearl shells into luminous fabric. Artisans slice the shells into strands as thin as 0.6 mm and weave them by hand. The iridescent glow shifts with even the tiniest movement.

A friend loved my heart bag so much she wanted one so I sent her all the fabrics I had in her fav colours and she picks this combo. The blues greens and creams with purple faux velvet frill, that really didnt want to be a frill.

I've posted these before but I was appreciating them again in the early morning sunlight today. Hand made by two of my great grandmas.
I don't want to use them on a bed and risk wearing them out, but I also don't want to keep them hidden away in storage.

Found two fab books at Oxfam in Huddersfield.

The first, published in 1947, is a history of textile production in our local area, including some illustrations & a great map. I pretty much bought it for the map alone

The second - I love Native/First Nation/indigenous design & art. While this is also pretty dated, a quick flick through it in the shop revealed it includes information about fibre preparation & dyes as well as the actual weaving, so it should still be interesting.
