  • Welcome Paula

    Welcome Paula

    Paula is the new born daughter of a young colleague. So I decided to weave her name. First time weaving letters, first time finishing a weaving. I’m good at neither of them. But Paula won’t care. Paula est le bébé d’une jeune collègue. C’est la première fois que je tissais des lettres, première fois que

    Baskets

    I love baskets and I have a lot of them. I found this one on a flea market last week. Isn’t it beautiful? Un de mes nombreux paniers, trouvé sur une brocante.

  • Faces done

    Faces done

    The weaving is going slowly, as I have diiferent projects on the go. It won’t be finished before autum comes. Faces are done anyway, and hopefully better done that the first ones. I must admit that I am less disappointed on the first Alice et Anita now. I like them more. However, I wove the

    My tools

    I’m weaving on a table I have used since my teens, and was found by my grandfather from the left over of an hotel. As the Zeus Mirrix is very big, I put my tools on a tray above a box. I like wood, and flea markets, and objects, so I’m using as a container

    About minimalism

    Caucasian kilim

    I am the owner of this kilim because it is damaged and with holes. Otherwise, I couldn’t have afford it, as it seems like a museum piece. The design is simple and powerful, the colors are natural dyed. From books I read, I think it may be more than a hundred years old. Un de

  • Creepy eyes

    Creepy eyes

    As in the first piece, eyes look quite creepy when you weave from the back. These hairy things in the middle of a face make me uncomfortable. But with my little mirror I saw that from the front the eyes of Anita look quite normal. So let’s go on. Another surprise is the twins are

Life is short, we’re getting older” (Fred Astaire), and before it’s too late, I want to reconnect with what I always liked, and wanted to study and share: making textiles, textures and jewels. So here I am, and this blog will be a piece of the sharing part. I will try to post weekly, on what I do, but also on textiles I love, blogs I discover, books I read.

I bet I will struggle with technology, (it’s my first blog) and with English, which is not my mother tongue. I made the choice of English because the online weaving community is mostly English speaking .

Et pour vous, mes amis français, un résumé de tout ça : la vie est courte, et il y a des tas de choses que j’ai envie de faire et de partager, alors je me lance dans ce blog, on verra bien.
