#supplementary weft

[calendae-creations]

I finished my latest batch of weaving last night, and have it up in my shop now! Two hand woven bookmarks, and one keychain, all with light blue and dark blue stripes, and a supplementary weft pattern in silvery thread with zigzags and diamond shapes. $10 each, plus shipping.

Holy shit y'all, it's turning out so pretty! Gonna switch to a black primary weft for the next one, but keep the silver for the pattern weft. I think I'll be able to get three bookmarks out of this warp. 2 and a keychain at the very least.

More backstrap weaving! I'm planning for a couple or three bookmarks with this warp, using a supplementary weft pattern in the center stripe. It isn't a technique I've done before, but it's going really well so far, and I'm enjoying it greatly. It's very exciting watching the pattern develop! I'll probably put the bookmarks up for sale when they're done, provided they turn out well.

My string heddle looks a hot mess, but it's not. I just used this rayon embroidery floss for it that's a total nightmare to do basically anything else with, but it moves so smoothly over the warp threads omfg.
