Weaving with friends
I met up with some friends this weekend to do some weaving. It was nice, but I realised that I need to add more instructions to my page. I thought I had shared how to thread the loom for Sulawesi, but we encountered several problems. The threading seemed correct, but in some cases the motif…

Trying out some new designs with only 12 motif cards.
As you may know, I mainly draw my designs for 16, 24 or 32 cards. However, I have been tempted to weave something smaller, with simpler motifs. I also like the classical designs found in Hallstatt, and I wanted to do something similar. So, I drafted some new designs for 12 motif cards (+4 border…

Silk, silk, silk
I just finished a new belt, woven in Sulawesi (as usual), but in 100% silk. The photos doesn’t give justice to the subtile shiny surface and the very soft feeling, but the feel of it is nice. I am a big fan of wool, but occasionally, silk is great too. I have used 32 motif…

More weaving, but not by me…(again).
I got a very nice mail from Nele a few days ago, who has done some weaving with my designs. I really like her choise of colors, especially the green and purple belt. It is so nice! I feel quite inspired, so I decided to upload some more designs on my page. Please feel free…

Silk weaving again
I have been lazy on the weaving during the summer, but now I feel inspired again. I have started a weave with silk. Well, the yellow is technically a mix of wool and silk, but still, the green and red are pure silk. Current weave: 32 motif cards + 6 border cards. I plan to…

Some weaving, but not by me!
I got happily surprised when I got some pictures of Sulawesi weaving using my patterns. It was from Marieke Kranenburg who organized a weaving get together. It looks great! I feel really honored and somehow more motivated to draw new images and to add more of my existing designs to my blog. Thank you Marieke…

A new viking bag
I like to use my “belts” for other things (except belts), so I made again a bag for a viking friend. I am happy with the bag, except the bag handels which I bought (and dont like all that much). I am thinking about how to make my own handels in the future. The woven…

A new weave and a new jacket…
I have finished yet another jacket (the 5th in 4 months) and a new Sulawesi weave, which I aim to make another bag out of. I will start with the Sulawesi belt. It is in wool, 24+6 tablets. My own designs , as usual. I modified my elk design and I belive they look better…

Weaving and sewing
I have advanced slowly on the weaving lately since I have been doing some sewing. I have added a page dedicated to sewing on the blog. Please feel free to check it out here. Here is a preview of my current weaving project though, which is a mix of various animals.

A new viking bag.
I like the viking style bags with wooden handles, and it is a good place to use some of my woven straps/belts. So I made a belt with the leftovers from my coat and then I did a Sulawesi style strap in thin wool in colors to match (green, white and brown). So here it…
