Sulawesi style with hexagonal cards
After 2 tests with hexagonal cards in Sulawesi style, I can conclude that it works, but it’s a pain to weave. Is it worth it to get that extra colour? I will show you and let you decide wether to try it for yourselves. My first attempt, where I used the rest of an old…

Midnight Blue weaving
The silver-blue belt in silk and wool is finished. I really love the feel and look of it. The wool is matte and the silk shiny, which means that the two quite similar shades of dark blue appear quite different and contrasting. Here are some pictures:

2 different designs using one warp.
I wanted to weave with some lovely pinkish-mauve yarns for a while, so I set up a regular 16 cards weave with Oseberg edging using these these colours (even though I don’t really use much pink, but the colours spoke to me). But when I started weaving, I feel that it turned out a bit…

The Fire and water belt.
The belt I talked about in my last blog post is finally finished. I am happy with how the gradient turned out and I had quite some comments on the “fire” aspect. I like how the fire is flanked by “water” from the blue border. I have also been drawing quite a few alternative designs…

Using colour gradients
I have been playing with colour gradients more and more in my weaving projects and I wanted to add a post on the material I use to achieve them. I recently posted on a belt I am currently weaving, where I use 6 shades of yellow/orange. I don’t like making any publicity, but I still…

A new weave – and new designs
I started this weave last week and I do like the colors. A sneak preview below… I will add more photos as I progress.
