Trying out some new designs with only 12 motif cards.

October 17, 2022 / Cissi_555

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 cards), and below are some of them.

I plan to upload some of these designs on my design page in the near future. Stay tuned…

These are the classical tablet woven bands found in Hallstatt.

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 cards +6 border cards. Some of the designs are uploaded in my designs page and I plan to add some more, since I have tested some new variants and also how doubling up on some 16-card motivs can look like.

Kalle the Cat agreed to do some modeling…

I cannot stop weaving my beloved “creatures in squares” whenever I have a 32 card weave on the loom. To the left, octopus and swan and to the right a collection of dogs.

Various pictures of the belt. The light makes a big difference on the colors though.

I will upload some new designs on my designs page, or you can download them directly below.

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 to check it out and please ask me if you would like some other that are not there. I am also drawing some new ideas, but I need time to test weave them.
