High Point Market.. part three

Today we ventured to where the true craftsmen were.  We saw a lot of innovative processes, techniques and materials being usd in unique ways. Lots of reclaimed and recycled materials.  Cutting materials up and reassembling them together creating new textures and patterns.

Weaving.. The Rug

And it begins again..

For my next project I am going bigger.  I will be creating an ikat wool rug.  I will be hand dying the wool yarns by hand in an ikat pattern.  To start off I've calculated all the warp yarns I need and now to measure and cut.  Stay tuned for the dyeing of the warp and then the fun part.. weaving. 

Be bold in your Designs.

peace&love
