I've got some special pictures in my meeting folders that need sharing. So this post is a little gallery of recent projects from the Not 2 Square weavers
Here is Betsy's shadow weave shawl; she made two and traded a loom for one of them! The directions are in Handwoven, Issue 158. I believe that Betsy used bamboo for her shawls and added a border that wasn't in the original directions. The one she brought to the meeting was gorgeous.
Here is a pairing of tick-tack-tow placemats and napkins from Diana's loom. The placemats are double weave pick up from Jean Scorgie's Weaver's Craft #21. Diana and I were totally baffled by the instructions for the pick up, but finally e-mailed Jean to get an explanation. Once explained , Diana finished weaving the four mats and then designed a huck lace pick up design for the napkins.
Ingrid is working her way through the twelve months of a colorful calender, using the colors for each month for a series of towels. These are April towels and sitting next to them is a pine needle basket that Gus is working on. She is just zooming along with baskets these days and they are looking really nice.
To end up our gallery showing we have an homage - or could it be un hommage? Dee bought one of Ingrid's towels (the middle piece) and was so taken with the color combination that she wove a scarf (on the far right) and a shawl (on the left) using the same color combination. Dee refers to her inspiration as an homage to Ingrid's original piece. Dee was correct in thinking that color combination was worth repeating, don't you think?
