A little Weaving

The last weekend in August I headed to North Georgia - Toccoa to be precise- for a weaving retreat. I had made a warp and put it on my loom just for the event.
As you can see it is mostly black and white with just a pop of color. 
I didn't finish it at the retreat, but I finished it this week and it is now wet finished also. 
Here is a photo of it hanging on the deck railing at a friend's house. 
It now has lots of color and is a lovely piece of cloth. 
I then added a narrow "scarf warp" to my loom and did a very "airy weave" to make these scarves. 
Even though these were made using the same warp, the threads used for the weaving were different.  As you can see, they are quiet different.  Other than that, I have been working on learning the music and my cues for the musical 'Anything Goes" which I am in.  It starts this week.  Yikes!  A few more rehearsals and we go live for a paying audience. 

Comments are welcomed. I will reply when possible unless otherwise stated. Of course if you are a "No Reply Blogger" - I can not reply.

I love the open airiness of the scarves.

You are going to do great in the production..."break a leg" as they say.

Beautiful cloth from your retreat. I love the airy scarves. The play will be great, and with a name like "Anything Goes", it can't go wrong!

You are good at planning the warp. It all looks like a mystery to me.
