New Work!

Pamela Whitlock1 Comment

I almost titled this post New Work in the Time of Covid19 (NWITTOC19) but I thought it would be too depressing. Instead it is simply New Work! and the exclamation point is important. To me it signifies that I am moving on. Moving ahead. I fumbled around a bit for several weeks trying new techniques and new yarns but in looking back on that I probably would have been better off sticking to what I knew and loved weaving the most: Shadow Weave. The familiar is what I needed the most and that in turn allows me to weave in an almost Zen-like rhythm. So while I am working up to weaving in brighter colors I am introducing, here, four new pieces, all rather large format, still in bamboo fiber. All in neutrals to accentuate the patterns. Stay tuned: I’ve got some really bright ones on my loom at the moment. If you are interested in purchasing any of these simply email me.
