A new blouse!

Well, today I was busy! I have been thinking for some time about a design for a blouse. I wove some beautiful cloth a while a go, but I have not been able to figure out the design for quite a while. I have made about three or four different designs, but I have not been happy until this morning. Today it came to me so easily. I took half of one design and half of a different one and together the appearance works. I used the arms of one and the front and back of another. Together the appearance is perfect.So today I cut the cloth and put together the blouse.


Now I can start thinking about the next project. I have some wonderful white cotton that I think will make great things to but on when going to the swimming pool.
Now I have to go to work on the design.

A new Tallis!

Oh my gosh, it is surely summer!! School is out and now that I am not working on the schools it is fun to be back to putting all my time on weaving and making clothing. I just finished making a new tallis today.


It is made of blended wool and silk. The color is blueberry.
The atturah has the complete blessing.

In the second picture is a close picture of the cloth so that the pattern in visible.
The pattern is a cloth weaving pattern that looks like woven threads.

It is good to be back on this work. After working so much on scarves, it is nice to be back working on a tallis again.

List of available scarves!


I am taking the break to update my web and bring the webpage up to date.
It is hard to believe how much time it takes to get everything up to date. I shot pictures of all the scarves that I have available and added them to the web page.
However, I'm on vacation!! Now I get to spend the time walking on the beach and enjoying the warm temperature.

Yes, I'm still making a tallis.


I just finished a new tallis design! I started with hand dyed silk and organized the warp with colors matching. The matched coloring gives me a better color structure for the tallis.
Then I went to work on getting a better atturah so that the blessing is better readable. The stripes are make of jewish stars. It is one of the best I have made so far. It has a very gentle color appearance. I think I will have to make a few more of this design.

Learning how to make a basket!


What a great class! We learned how to make small baskets. The class went very well and really was a lot of fun. These baskets were done by the group that was working together. We all had fun and learned together. We were making "garlic" baskets. It was nice that every basket was a little different.

Now I am looking forward to the other basket classes that I will be taking in the future.
