Began weaving another color way using the same turned twill setup for the previous coral towels. These are probably my favorite colors to weave with. I just love a bright blue (royal blue). These will be made with 22/2 cottolin, from my stash. Alas, there is very little of the purple and turquoise remaining after warping.

Mixed media, structural weaving
Attended “Craft Texas 2014” at the Houston Center For Contemporary Craft, on Saturday. This piece saddened but delighted me that an artistic use was found for some thing I use regularly to create art. The artist used two shafts or harnesses from a loom and numerous heddles which would normally hold the individual warp ends on a shaft to create this work of art.
It’s getting harder and harder to walk at night with the sun beginning to set at 7:15pm central time here in Texas. I’ll have to come up with a different time / place to walk soon.
Love your towels and the way you used your colors and the turned twill!

The art work made from the loom pieces is very evocative–thanks for showing it! Your towels look great–I need to find time to wind some warp so I can get started!

Great looking towels! Will need to see 2014 Craft Texas–always interesting pieces. I love walking early AM, something exciting about dodging school kids on their happy way!

Your colors are great!! The wall art is interesting….. were the heddles woven into place or are they glued?

The heddles were woven into place they themselves were not connected to the harness.
