red clay table runner

halloween morning at my house

this is one of the views from the front porch...the Fall leaf colors with the past-prime green of the grass framed by the unsettled sky just struck me as amazing...

this was one of the five pictures i took of the sky...it was about 8:45am and was so gorgeous and fascinating that i couldn't resist...

WIP is finished!

my finished table runner!

WIP (work in progress)

the weft for the WIP

the warp colors of the WIP

the current WIP on the loom

the WIP currently on the loom is a set of Fall-themed table runners. the warp yarn is a mix of pistachio and a blue-green that i hand-dyed, making for an interesting stripe effect.

i sleyed (well, actually i tied on to the previous warp) so that the warp pattern is two pistachio followed by one blue-green, giving the effect of a watermelon rind. the weft is a series of four to five colors (dull gold, garnet, burnt orange, olive green and pistachio between each new color).

i'm not sure how these table runners will end up looking; i find that once i've got the piece(s) off the loom, washed, ironed and fringe attended to, there's a very different look from when it was just a WIP.
