I spent the last weeks weaving little squares. They are meant as gifts for those of my friends who helped me settle and feel good in my new home. The weft is lichen dyed wool, except for some lines of each person prefered colors. You won’t see them here, except for this one which didn’t

I can’t show what I’m working on now because it’s a surprise for some of my readers. So meet my new looms. I wanted to give a try to copper and pipe loom, Quite happy with them. Je ne peux pas montrer ce que je fais en ce moment, car ce sont des cadeaux pour

This tapestry comes from a vision I had in my rearview a few months ago, while driving back home. I realize that this title may also illustrate my current situation, newly retired and looking back at my achievements. Anyway, this moment was weird and beautiful in the sunset, and I decided to weave a tapestry

What did I do this week? Many things, but some of them were a failure. But I did spend time with them, so I will give them a little place here. Qu’est ce que j’ai fait cette semaine ? Pas mal de choses, même si plusieurs sont ratées. Mais comme j’y ai passé du temps,

This week, we (Celina, Olivier and I) were busy dyeing with lichens. I had the idea in mind, don’t remember why, and I found a dead branch on the ground. That was the beginning, we began to look, and to see lichens everywhere. We mainly collected dead branches, and were surprised to discover that one

I want to give a rendition of a vision I had some time ago in my rearview, with beautiful blacks, beautiful night sky and red No entry signs. Here are two samples, one woven on the side, both from the front, at 12 epi. I’m going to make another simple, at a bigger sett, and

These two last weeks were very busy, as I was unpacking after my move. I have not finished yet, but things are slowly getting into order. Here is my new studio (it will have to share the room with the movie place) , less space and light than the previous one, but very quiet and

I don’t have time for weaving or anything these two weeks, I can just look at my pencils and wish I am two weeks older. Je n’ai de temps pour rien en ce moment, et je ne peux que souhaiter être à dans deux semaines.
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.
