A SURPRISE SCARF AND SUMMER






Summer had started and it's not a good season for my weaving practice:
when it's sunny I just want to be outside,
and then the weaving gets neglected.
This surprise scarf needs to be ready soon.
So it's spending some time outside and then back inside again.

The first picture is about her.
One year goes so fast, but some things still feel like yesterday...

SCARF WAITING FOR SUMMER








Here he is! A summerscarf longing for summer!
Finally some green, not a colour I use much...
The leftover warp I'm using to prepare a surprise scarf,
first it was planned to be one for my boyfriend,
but he has to wait a little longer! :-)

Also proud of a cooperation between us (my colleagues and me at my dayjob)
and Mattia Van Severen, a graduate of the Antwerp Fashion Departement.
Do check his beautiful collection PLAYTIME,
featuring garments covered in angular patches of colourful flock.
We wove a fabric for him (if you look good on the pictures,
it's the fabric with the gradient in it!),
he used in combination with his flocked pieces.
How I would like to have one of the trousers... :-)

Ah, and some event-news:
in september once again I will participate in OEVERTURE (Ghent),
like a few years ago in this post!


PS: Tuesday we are taking down HOME. 
If anyone is still interested in buying one or more of the panels,
you can check them all on my Flickr:

Each panel costs 100 euro. Do send me an email with questions, or orders, if you are interested! :-)
We are not keeping the money to ourselves,
but more about that later...

TAKING MY TIME


Just finished weaving this summerscarf!
It's strange to notice my weaving has changed since I made the installation HOME.
Hard to say in what way,
it has become even more graphical I think.

Weaving summerscarves always takes more time,
now the scarf is loomstate,
washing it will give it another feel and look.
More pictures when it's completely finished
and I hope the person I made it for will be happy...
