Recently got back into crocheting and decided to make a textile craft alignment chart. Idk if anyone else will get this but it makes me giggle.

Time flies and it’s a while ago now, but thanks a lot for those who visited our degree show last summer. Fortunately I could exhibit my handspun yarns and woven scarves next to the windows from which visitors could see the beautiful hills of Bath - inspiration source of the works. There also on the show were a book of watercolour drawings of seasonal hill views and a book of the back story introducing different breeds of wool, plant dyes, and how they were processed. And some vintage tools I love. I hope you enjoyed my work and other fabulous works by my friend designers! 

もう随分時が経ってしまいましたが、作夏の卒業制作展へお越し頂いた皆様、ありがとうございました。幸運にも窓のあるスペースでの展示となり、作品のテーマであるBathの丘の風景と共にご覧頂くことができました。季節ごとの丘の風景を描いた水彩画と、制作過程の本も展示し、実際に使用した羊毛や染料が糸や織物になるまでの過程をご紹介しました。日本とイギリスの古道具もいくつか。たくさんの方にお越し頂き、たいへん嬉しく思います。またどこかでお会いしましょう。

Now it’s open to public! You have a week to see everyone’s fabulous works at Bath Spa University.

Bath Spa大学卒業制作展の一般公開が始まりました。今月18日までです。

I am exhibiting Oka. Hills. project - natural dyed handspun yarns and handwoven scarves. Books of watercolour drawing and making process will take you through the journey of the project from the inspiration to weaving…

草木染め手紡ぎ羊毛糸と手織りの布作品、「Oka. Hills.」を展示しています。創作のインスピレーションとなった丘の風景の水彩画をまとめた本と、原材料・制作過程についてまとめた本もご覧いただけます。

Those are experimental fabric samples and show space drawing I made in March. Please come and see what the actual space looks like. I’m very glad that I received some positive feedbacks so far - including a sweet compliment from 9 year old girl - but I would love to hear your voices, too!

これは3月の私の作業机の様子です。まだ実験的な段階のサンプルの奥に見えるのが、展示空間のデザイン画です。実際の展示の様子は、ぜひお越しになってご覧ください。既に(9歳の女の子を含む)数名の方からご感想を頂戴しておりますが、残り一週間、皆様のお声を楽しみに致しております。

Hello friends :) Thanks to all of your kind likes and reblogs, I’m now motivated to update my Tumblr! Here’s a piece from last summer.

Cloth woven on a traditional loom with 100% ethically and environmental-friendly sourced yak yarn from Mongolia

Tengri is a UK-based company manufacturing sustainable, ethical and fair trade (supporting herders) Mongolian yak yarn, knitwear, tailored clothing and much more.

They are recently featured by Selfridges as one of the brands participating in Material World campaign which ‘invite you to unravel the stories behind your clothes and their effect on the world’. I went to look at the range a couple of weeks ago and it was really nice to see such a big store encouraging consumers to question about the materials and impacts of products.  Visit their website for more info :) http://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/content/material-world/?rd=materialworld

i don’t think violence, or greed are the roots of human nature. i think warping looms and making soups are.

everyone is zeroing on the soup part which is nice but weaving has been around for at least 12,000 years (more like 30,000 years but yee). weaving is one of the first technologies that human beings developed and perfected and i think that’s neat.

two fundamental needs are warm (soup) and soft (fabric)

do I have a loom? no. do i know how to weave? no. and yet I felt the urge. i had no rug. i had lots of scrap fabric and a couple sticks and no rug.

it was not a fine weave. i’m not even sure it counts as weaving, though it was done in the same spirit. the urge was there, expressed crudely with no knowledge guiding it.

it is not a pretty rug and i love it.

本日夏休み消化の巻。まずJさんのバナナベッドを洗いまして。

知人がFBにクサギの件を上げていたので、いや早くないかと思いつつ出かけてみると、確かにある。なんだか早いけど。

ちょっと控えめに、本日のところ155g。来週あたり再度ですかね。いやワクチン二度目だっけか。

でも冷凍保存分で計1キロくらいある。ということは、濃い濃いに染めても2綛染められる。万一のときは良しとしていいかも。いやそれとも、週末もう一回行っとこうか…まだ蜂がいますんでね。こんな早くは嫌なんですけど。

そして片身頃終了。いい休みだったかも!

涼しくなって参りましたし、ちょっとカンも戻って来て、週末50じゃなくて70cmのノルマを…と思ったり、いやあかん、できひんかったら萎えるしあかんと思ったり。

しかし思うのは腕の力が無くなっているということ。使ってない間に弱まったのか、やっぱり頸から来てるのかは不明ですが、二の腕に力がないので疲れます。私の場合元々左が強くて、織の打ち込みも左でしっかりという感じだったので、しばらく織っていると腕が辛いという。ま、続けてたらある程度復活するでしょ、と楽観的に。

今月中に片身頃上がりそう…前は本気でやったら二日あったら上がってんけどな。ちょっと悲しいな。

え、何、とうとう 猫の恩返しとかしてくれるの

週50cm、ようやく1m50cm。

年内完了の見込み。

やっぱり織りたい。

もういい、悪化したら手術するんだ(悪化しないように今後も頑張るけど)

やっと新しい着尺を織り始めました。

コロナが始まって、首を悪くして、その前からかかっていたものが進まなくて進まなくて、なんとか帯の長さまで織って、気持ちが入らないので糸をよけました。

それからGW頃に整経して、巻いて、経継ぎをして、緯の試しをして、ようやくです。

ペースはガタ落ち。あんまり下向きたくないし、姿勢に気をつけて丁寧に。

緯を入れたらちょっとデザインと違う感じでむむむと思っていますが…それでもやっぱり、私の縞です。

Everything you know about the Kente fabric might not be true—listen to the true story of Kente told from the source by designer Akwesi kwarteng of Bonwire. Akwesi Kwarteng is also a direct descendant of the artist who first added patterns to this famous cloth.

4 grams of cotton done! I estimate around 2500 yards. I’m not sure if I want to ply it. I might experiment with gelatin or cornstarch sizing and try to weave with it as singles. We shall see.

A little weaving this afternoon. Crafting hasn’t come easy for me through this quarantine, but sometimes forcing it pays off. I’m in a rhythm and enjoying it.

I finally finished my Harrisville Designs Shetland blanket. It has been off the loom for a while so I took the last few days to seam it up and twist the fringe. Now I think I’ll go hide underneath it for a while.
