Contrast

My loom is empty now. I made these stripes today and i enjoyed about colours.

The weaving is relaxing

My pattern right now, green is starting stripes for other side. The green is like waiting for spring. There is still snow in northen Finland. But many birds are singing already and days are long and sunny.

Weaving today

Last night i had a dream about the red. There was many red mice somewhere trying hide each other. Colours really comes to my dreams. But today i am feeling much better with red! I am using 20 years old yarns. They are originally my grandma's.

Long fringes

What i am going to do with these pieces, you are probably wondering. What you think?

I like long fringes and shape like a cushion. I will fill them. I want to do something that looks like woven but it is ín different use than usually. Somethink that is like traditional but not. These are piece of textile art. The process is still going on.

I like also idea of mobile.

The red

I tried again.

The red is difficult and makes me slow

How it is possible that i can't use red very easily. I would like to weave piece of red but maybe i have to wait still. I don't know what i have against it. I want to find it. Maybe it is just too strong for me. Or should i just change to weave red lines to lila.

Weaving painting

These will be my next colours - red, brown, lila, light green. I will paint something with them - two different side again.

Colours today

Two different pattern. I felt i need colours today, felt so fun to do this last one.

Play with piece and camera

I had a nice play with this piece. This is my first piece of my new textile art work serie. Tomorrow i will have new colours and patterns but same size to weave. I love it.

Two different

I am thinking idea of two different sides. I have woven yellow side and stripe side. Will see how i play with them.

Weaving yellow and grey

It is quite slow to weave. Couple centimeters in hour.

Thinking

Making my loom ready

There is 59 yarns in my warp. It was nice to make loom ready again. There is many part of process that makes me enjoy so much. And i tried to weave little bit, it is always so exciting.

Stripes on my way

The sun was shining this morning. I enjoyed stripe shadows. I am going to make my new warp today.

Colour variations

Unravelled yarns, old yarns, find yarns and the sunday morning light. I am surprised that i like also yellow. It has been sometimes in my work but often i have much difficulties to use it.
