A new year, lots of new ideas

This week the postman brought two large parcels!
 
One from  The handweavers studio    the other from  Rudi Kuenzl.
 
This is the result
 
 
 
I do not know what to start with!

Scarf

This is my latest "work".
 
I have been experimenting with the same structure...changing materials, changing the dimension of the structure. The first scarf I made was with cotton and silk, but it seemed a bit fragile for everyday use. The final scarf is with wool, merino and silk. It feels luxurious, but not too fragile. I am happy with the result!

 
 

It is very difficult to capture the colours. In real it looks a bit like a feather of a peacock.
 
 
 
 
And here is a detail on the loom: unfortunately it changes when it comes of the loom.
 
It also makes me think of the Ennis textile blocks from Frank Lloyd Wright!

New ideas!

During this holidays I thought of painting at least every month a specific place near us.
It is something I want to do from the moment we moved to this place....But wanting is not the same as doing!
So some days ago I went for a walk with all my drawing stuff....looking for a good place to paint.

BUT the rain had another idea about it, and I had to quit with a painting spoiled by the rain .
