View of a weaving in progress. Several inches of pale blue silk filling on an ecru cottolin warp. Small diamonds, dots, and crosses suggest a pattern being developed. A low-profile damask shuttle and several bobbins of the pale blue silk yarn are laying on the weaving.
A detail view of the weaving, shuttle, and bobbins.
A photo of the extension on a drawloom, stained blue and painted with Norwegian Rosemaling in shades odblue, green, red, and white.
Front view of a rather narrow warp-weighted loom, with decorative painting on the uprights.
Dropped a random skein of vintage silk yarn into the indigo over the weekend. Tried it on the drawloom last night, and holy moly - rustic silk damask? Yes, please. Also finished painting the looms (I think).
