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.

I don’t want to throw away the yarn leftovers of my tapestries. So, for the second time now, I decided to weave them. The rules : weave most of the what I have, wedge weave, rows of the same height. It’s not really a diary, since it will take me a few days. But it’s…

I spent the day weaving this, thanks to a fellow weaver who sent close up of my inspiration piece from Silvia Heyden. I also learnt that she wove mostly with linen, so did I. ( but I prefer wool for wedge weave) . So here it is. J’ai passé mon dimanche encore avec Silvia Heyden.…

I’m a huge fan of Silvia Heyden, and her tapestries are still for me a mystery. That’s the reason why I decided to try my hand at it. I first begun with a free weaving, being cautious to use like her a very limited range of colors. The warp is wool, as is the weft.…
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.
