My next wall hanging on the bobbin. Measuring and washing up next. #Handwoven #handcrafted #handspun

This scarf is a gift for my uncle, inspired by quartz clusters we saw together backpacking in Cottonwood Canyon in Death Valley. From what I've been reading I think they were formed by intrusive igneous rock forming around xenoliths, and by cooling very slowly forming the incredible quartz crystals we saw, which looked like rings around the darker xenoliths in the weathered rock face we saw. I'm not trained as a geologist though and would love to find more information about the geology of Cottonwood Canyon from someone with some real expertise!

The wool is targhee roving I got at the nor cal ren faire. I spun it on my small cross arm spindle and wove it on a loom I've been borrowing from a friend. It's plain weave set at 8epi. It looked very open on the loom, but fulled into a wonderfully bouncy and dense fabric.

After fulling I scoured the fabric, then used rubber bands to do this shibori inspired dye process. After putting on the rubber bands I gave it a bath in tannins I extracted from an oak gall, then in a bath of cool water with just a tiny bit of dissolved ferrous sulfate. It was so exciting to see the fabric turn grey in a a matter of just a few minutes when I put it in the iron bath!

I wove this studio rug many years ago when I owned my AVL 40", 8 harness Home Loom. I used cotton rug yarn for the warp and white mop cord for the weft. After 20+ years it is still holding up.

Here's a new weaving experiment I started today.

I finished the experimental handwoven piece using cotton yarn and strips of plastic shopping bag. 100% 10/2 cotton yarn, 100% 1/4-inch strips of shopping bag. It was hand washed in the bathtub with some patchouli detergent and warm water. After it dried completely I pressed it front and back between two sheets of baking parchment with an iron set to polyester setting. White, brown, and two shades of gray bags were used with a variety of red, green, blue, and black printing on the bags.

"On the northern edge of Los Altos, Mexico, is the municipality of Pantelhó. With cities and villages situated in the valleys of tropical, mountainous terrain, Pantelhó is also home to communities of Tzotzil-speaking Mayan artisans who weave distinctive, backstrap-loomed textiles. Their traditional huipil design features narrow, alternating stripes of red and white, decorated by multicolored bands of embroidery around the neckline and embroidered chevrons at the sleeves. Toads, stars, and other symbols are either woven or embroidered onto the stripes in vertical columns. Weavers of contemporary Pantelhó blusas incorporate vibrant pinks, greens, purples, and other colors made possible by modern threads, creating some of the most distinctive textiles in Chiapas.
