Silk weaving again
I like to weave in silk, but I also feel limited with the colours I have (since it does cost a bit more). Well, I am slowly advancing on this one. A lot of see creatures and some horses. It looks better in real life, since the yellow looks really golden, but on the photo…

The autumn belt is finally off the loom
It took some time to complete, but now it is done. I like it, but not my favourite. Maybe it is a bit to complicated with all the colour changes going on. It is nearly hypnotising when you look at it. Well, here it is: The Beginning….and the end!

Some more sewing, and some weaving experiments.
I made this Viking style bag. It the outside is blue wool and the inside red/purple linen. I used an old belt I have woven for the strap and a piece for decoration. I used some wood from my garden for the bag handles. I like how it turned out. And then I have experimented…
