another birthday

Happy days, Carrie
looking forward to a very exciting rest of the year
sweet 16!
book pages for May are finished
Japanese designs frequently use curving lines to represent water
they unite the design elements and suggest coolness in Summer patterns
now what is next?
another warp ready for the loom
black and natural silk from Sanjo Silk
the tiny ball , top right, was all that is left of the natural
living dangerously!
winding 4 threads at a time
it helps to have a horizontal warping reel
holding them between my fingers
once you get going it is quick and fairly tangle free
taking the picture with my left hand was more of a challenge.

I love using a warping mill and need to buy a new one, since the one I have was homemade and rickety. Do you recommend the horizontal over the vertical? Mine is vertical . . . Is there a brand you love?

Kerry – the horizontal one I use all the time is homemade, I bought it in a garage sale 15 years ago. It is rickety and I have mended it a couple times, it is big but folds up for storage. I prefer it over anything I have ever used. I do have a table top, vertical one made by a well know co. – which my students sometimes use but I don’t like. When the rickety one gives up so do I!
