When I painted that black & white warp for scarves that I wove in December, I also painted a warp for shawls. Here it is going on the back beam, with 4 narrow bouts of solid black in between the 5 bouts of handpainted.
No matter the colors, I always respond well to this shot. It’s just a look that does it for me. Gives me a peek at the finished piece.
I spent this morning threading 660 ends. Whew!
Although I check each bout as I tie it, I will be very happily surprised if there are no threading errors. Only time will tell.
Thanks, both Alma & Theresa. I’m hoping it’s great, but you never really know till it’s woven. Actually, till it’s off the loom and wet finished.
What a stunning warp! I think it is my favorite and can hardly wait to see the woven cloth!
It is BEAUTIFUL – hope the woven shawls will be better!!
Thanks, Charlene. It’s always my hope, too.
B/W – always stunning!
