I was intrigued by Dawn Hummer’s presentation about SAORI weaving. And so, I decided to give it a try using a Cricket loom.  Used 3/2 pearl cotton for the warp and then experimented with assorted fibers:  cotton, linen, silk, nylon mesh – then tried adding beads, knots, loops, etc.  The process was exhilarating and the end product makes me smile. ​

For the “loopy blue” piece I used 3/2 pearl cotton for warp, assorted fibers for weft loops and an additional linen thread that was worked close to the selvedge.  While it’s not quite as expressive as the green piece, I do love the randomness of the loops.

My life, my work, my world – a little randomness keeps it interesting.
