Jon built a new loom, I don’t have a proper image yet to share with you. He built this loom to weave a big piece, the design of which I won’t reveal, but you will have a glimpse on the colors he dyed himself, with this wonderful Spelsau wool we bought from Norway. I hope…

They are almost done now, off the loom, I still have to make the finitions. As I’m totally behind that blog, I will try something new: very short articles, just a photo and a legend, but more. Alice et Anita sont presque finies, tombées du métier, mais il reste les finitions. Comme je suis vraiment…

I’m behind, I know…. Je sais, je sais, je suis en retard. What happened? Alice et Anita are progressing. The kilim, not so much. Alice et Anita progressent. Le kilim, pas tellement. Françoise is becoming a (almost) professional sewer. Françoise est en train de devenir une couturière professionnelle (presque). Jon has finished his gorgeous Palm…

I did four of them, trying to catch Alice’s sadness. I think the fourth captured it. J’ai fait quatre tapisseries, pour tenter de refléter la tristesse d’Alice. Je pense que la quatrième y arrive.

I was honored to be invited of this Tolkien tapestry at the Cité de la tapisserie in Aubusson. I was invited there by my friend Julie who was one of the weavers. Two studios worked together, Julie’s on Willyarn, and the Just’lissières. It was moving and beautiful, so I’ll just let you watch the photos.…

I didn’t post a lot in January, but a lot of things happened. I began my two big tapestries, the kilim and Alice et Anita 7. I attended my first cuting (unlooming? Cut-off? Whatever) ceremony at the Cité de la tapisserie; and my friends did a lot of things too. I will dedicate a post…
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.
