One foggy morn these images came.
Experimenting with ideas in textiles, glass fusing, experimental pieces and thinking, aiming to be alternative in my creating.

Collection of Winter Warmer
The three weavings of throw lengths and trialing out the size tags has come to an end. Yes I am still using the size tags - I measure and put small price tags in at 20cm lengths until I have reach the loom length required. I have woven and sold this weaving which is very encouraging.
To now be on the final section of weaving has meant I will consider all the different ideas that I have trialled - uneven hems/fringes, combining yarns, vibrant colours, slightly different lengths are a few. I like all of them and are very happy with what I have woven.
This shows how the weaving looks before washing.

Trios from a warp
trios weaving - throw under is part of a set to be shown at another time.
These came about from a couple of weaving's exploring combined colours in a warp. I use a finer warp than weft and clasp weaving method that I feel gives interest and difference in pattern.
100% wool warp and weft, red (two different reds) and two- thirds dark green and pink in the left and centre weaving, the combining of clasp-weft and putting in other colours give interest to my weaving. I also tried out a couple of fringing ideas from two threads the same colour to twisting options.
These are what has inspired the trios above.
Two lengths using clasp-weft and is one way I do free form, in which it is done by eye and is very enjoyable.
