Weaving New Combinations

Something we like about our work is that we are always creating new designs, using new colors, or using our same palette of colors in new ways. We brainstorm a bit about what we want to do next, each of us thinking of different color combinations. Then we have to weave a sample to see how it actually looks. Lots of times it looks as beautiful when it comes off the loom as we imagined it might. But other times it isn’t quite right and we have to make a few changes or try something different. We are weaving several of these combinations of one fabric in diamonds of two colors and the other complementary stripes in four colors. Sometimes combining unlikely colors creates something very interesting (and sometimes not so interesting!)

Here are our latest diamonds and stripes…in lime green and rose pink. And just wait until you see how they look made into table linens!
