another bojagi finished
December 11, 2012
I’ve been cutting and piecing this scarf on the dining room table
finished just in time – the table is needed for other things
the weather is dark and grey – not good for picture-taking
other than the shibori, that inspired the piece
there are several different kimono silks, silk dye samples, the border was dyed with logwood
the purple square in the upper right was woven 0n a weave-it loom with silk ribbon
an eco- dyed piece, with stitching added, from the workshop in Japan
and an old camisole with its original inset stitching
thousands of tiny stitches – three separate rows for each seam

This is beyond lovely. I’ve watched it grow, off on and on, and it’s wonderful. I’m inspired.

Aimee – rainy days ( we get lots at this time of year) are an excuse to stay inside and weave, spin or stitch. Considering the weather around the world I give thanks for living on the Wet Coast
