slow cloth, slower camera

I really dislike photographing artwork, which explains why these posts are so few & far between. Either I have to find someone with the equipment to do it right -- which usually means having a few pieces ready to photograph! -- or I do it myself with sad results.

But it is Friday, Fridays are for finishing things up! Last Friday I cut Cloud off the loom and today I will finish it for you by posting this little photo by me. Also here is Alders, which I wrote about in the post Slow Cloth a couple of months ago. Both are woven on the same warp, of wool and curly mohair. Alders was woven with wool ground weft and linen floss, along with a gorgeous japanese chenille. Cloud is made with linen ground weft, rayon, and cotton floss.
