Miączynek żąda dostępu do morza

Miączynek demands access to the sea

The idea for such unusual selvedges was born in the winter while watching an evening series set in the Caribbean. Between scenes, there were often views with the seashore in the background and palm trees in the foreground. As much as the colors of the yarns and my imagination allowed me to, I conveyed the impression. This is one of the most enjoyable experiments. I am very glad that…

What the eyes don’t see…

On the day of the publication of the previous post, I was optimistic and full of energy. We enthusiastically started planting the fruit trees we had bought earlier. Unfortunately, our orchard-growing ambitions turned into pseudo-archaeological excavations. What had previously looked like an idyllic, weedy meadow turned out to be an old garbage dump.

I chose two fragments from two finds and added a connector of my own to fill the background. I wove using a yoke loom, because the pattern required the use of a large number of warp threads. The width came out quite large –…
