I’ve really been on a crackle weave kick lately. This particular crackle weave pattern reminds me of fans, or fish scales, or sometimes little round faces. I’m always looking for new ways to sneak curves in to the very square shapes that the warp and weft often make. It can be harder to get elegant…

On making something I’ll never make again
I think it’s the nature of handmade work to create finished pieces that are all slightly different from each other.

Pretty finished towels! Sent these out to Wisconsin in February. Just posting now because… Time? what is it?
