works in progress

it doesn’t look like much considering how long it took to weave

the warp was 4 yards and I wove to the very end

fabric for a journal cover, woven with handspun ramie dyed with kakishibu

six signature covers with different wefts

handspun silk, indigo dyed ramie, paper thread dyed with onion skins, handspun silk, Habu textile’s paper moire plyed with cotton and cotton thrums

I finished them with hemstitching while under tension on the loom

an accordion book with pockets. The “pages” woven with a 2 ply paper/ramie thread

two shifuku bags, the wefts are natural dyed, handspun silk. They’re made from two fabrics, the striped pattern is on the top of one and the bottom of the other. I’ve made a circular bottom so they will hold a tea bowl.

They need silk linings and kumihimo cords

finishing should keep me busy for a few hours.
