Johanna G – Various Tunics with handwoven fabrics
Gail B donated the material for this black and white tunic, per Simplicity pattern1461
The Advancing Twill tunic, per Simplicity pattern 1461, is using a 16/2 Borg’s cotton warp and weft. I did take Janet Dawson’s Advancing Twill class and made this after completing most of the class.
The jacket is my third Koji jacket using previous weavings from my stash, including the Huck lace collar/lapel. The body of the jacket has various weavings, mostly cotton.
The Koji jacket is a basic pattern that is fun to make and fits well.
Barbara Shapiro – Maquette of Twisted Tower 2 – work in progress
10 x 2.5 x. 2.5″. Plaited painted watercolor paper.
I splashed blood-red acrylic paint and India Ink on the paper, wrote phrases that expressed my reaction to current events in black ink, and then “whitewashed” the 4.5 x 30 ” pieces obscuring some, but not all of the design.
The paper was then sliced with a pasta cutter into 1/4″ strips and plaited in an extended twisted cube. pattern.
I learned the twisted cube from a pattern on Annetta Kraayeveld’s website. I am working on the full-scale version now.
