Apple Cider Tendel

Another productive morning! Ms. B was at preschool again (for two hours this time, wowzers), and I managed to photograph and post another scarf in my etsy shop:

And here's a close up of the structure (it's a turned twill, I used six colors of Tencel, ranging from deep brown to lemongrass green, olive and purple - a lot of fun to weave!):


(And, no, my selvedges aren't uneven - that's just a fold in the scarf near the bottom.)

I listed this one as part of the EtsyFAST September challenge - looks like apple cider to me!

Buttons

I've been casting around trying to think of a good way to create samples of my work. The idea being to make something small but generally representative of what I do - hard to do when you're a weaver!

One idea is to make some buttons - and I finally did! I found some little buttons from a sewing supply store and used some old fabric that I wove a while ago, before I got pregnant - it's a turned twill woven from tencel that I dyed myself. Most of the fabric became covers for a couple of journals for myself, but I thought this would be a good use for the remainder...



I really liked the fabric as I wove it, nice to think it will have a second life of sorts.
