First, I started working on a new jacket.
As you can see, it is still in work, but I have gotten to work on a Chuppah that is soon needed. The arms will have look like the one on the left. The clip or pin will be on the upper right. I wove the red lines to give it an interesting appearance. Also, the material is a blend of rayon and wool so it is warm, but it also has a shiny synthetic so the jacket gives a great appearance. I also have to finish the neck. I decided that the current appearance will be a little bit more coarse that I want it to be. I also have decided that it needs to be lined. So... Lining is just as soon as I have time.
The other project that
is taking my time is the chuppah on which I am working. I have started weaving the chuppah. It is wide enough that I have decided to double weave it. The pictures added here only show half of the final appearance. It is going to be like an orange sum at the center and the darker red/orange color fading into the appearance all the way around.and above and below. I took these pictures as I started weaving. I have also added pictures of the detailed areas so that the pattern is more visible.
The pattern will give the appearance have a thickness to make the material warm if used on a bed or as a throw that keeps one warm in the winter. As I have been weaving, I have decided that it will also need an added edge for strength and color. I will have to weave the edge separately once I have completed the chuppah. I have decided that that should be woven after the banner that I am working on.
More pictures will be coming once I have made more completion.
