Cool Waters table runner

摘要

Fiber always inspires my projects. The soft blue-gray-violet-brown colors of this hand-dyed bamboo tape remind me of cool waters. Holding the skein in my hand, I am transported to the edge of a rocky-bottomed pond peppered with cattails. The Pompeii yarn picks up some of the brown tones in the bamboo to imitate the cattails in my memory pond. To achieve my waterlike image, I decide to float the weft over some areas. I'm on a roll! Several thumbnail sketches later, I am ready to weave.
