The whole month in bulk
You could say I've taken a pretty long break from blogging. But time and space are getting messed up again. So much has happened to me lately that I feel like my last post was half a year ago, and it's only been a month.
Seweryn didn't discover the surprise too early - only in Łekno while putting on his shirt. But unfortunately we didn't see his face, because his tent was too small and he went to change in a civilized, but remote place. The most important thing is that the hem was approved.
After Łekno I was in Biskupin several times as a weaver and haberdasher, I bought a wonderful weaving loom and bought myself a very expensive French three-dimensional puzzle.
I haven't weaved much, but I still have something to be proud of.
First, a selvedge, which I call a copy of my own work. I decided to botch the job badly – that is, not put any effort into it at all, and see how much I could speed up the weaving to meet the needs of customers who want cheap selvedges. Unfortunately, I didn't botch it completely and it's even decently compact. There will probably be more cheap selvedges for the "commoners" 😉
Length 7.5 m, width 2 cm, composition 75% acrylic, 25% wool.
Because I liked the pattern… so simple and even obvious. Although not very groundbreaking and probably someone has already used it in weaving, I accept it as “mine”.
Length 7.5 m, width 2 cm, composition 100% wool.
Most of my selvedges represent patterns of my own invention, and I only copy my ancestors… although not very often, which I regret. As an exception, I copied someone else's work to weave a selvedge to order. Although there are some differences anyway.
