Double rainbow for my Dreams that You Dream wrap series. All the wraps are on their way to Mamas!

One of the wraps from my just completed Hummingbird series of wraps. Love the warp dominant vs weft dominant structure of this cloth (image #1). Image #2 shows switching between the two while weaving the cloth.

From my ‘Shimmer’ series of scarves... fine silk warp and a blend of silk/baby camel (dyed indigo blue)

Fringes as a finish to a scarf, cowl or wrap can be so elegant!

All the sister wraps on my recently completed Charmed series had a unique look... what a difference warp dyeing, weft colour and pattern choice can make.

Just finished my ‘Hashtag’ series of scarves. Woven in deflected double weave, a few scarves are woven in black and white and 5 were woven in black, white and a variegated weft. $225 CAD. Posted for sale on my chatter page https://www.facebook.com/groups/1452491391661877 or message me.

My ‘Quarantine’ wrap series. Five sister wraps in the series - 3 wraps folded and stacked and the cloth on my loom for the other 2.

I love seeing the transition of my cloth from being on my loom to when it is wrapping! (Wrapping images posted with permission)

My Quarantine series is off my loom!

This is ‘Quarantine’ the series I’m currently weaving. It makes me smile during these difficult times. (The cloth is all spoken for)

Wearable Art! A couple of cowls from my Orchid River series. The first lined with a complementing silk fabric and the second cowl with a fringe accent that has beads/‘bling’ added.

Love this Orchid River cloth! It is now off to its new home.

My Orchid River series - cloth with crisscrossing pooling weft

Something bright for a dull rainy day! Weaving on ‘Orchid River’ has begun and there is enough warp left on my loom to weave 1 more wrap, so if a semi-custom on this warp is appealing, pm me. The colour design for this cloth combines two seemingly contrasting colour stories: one that is remarkable because of its brightness and full saturation of colour and the other because of its ‘soft’ pastel look. The two colour stories are actually related in that many of the same base c...olours were used in both stories just in very different concentrations or values. The wrap design features a stripe sequence approximately 2/3’s of the way across the wrap width that combines a dark purple solid colour warp alternating with stripes of the two dyed colour stories. As well a solid dark purple warp stripe with pinstripes of the dyed fibre runs along one rail. Threaded in a modified ‘snake skin’ crackle there are 2 pattern options available for the cloth. See more
