just let me weave

Let’s fuckin GOOOO

Breaking to go eat dinner but hey!

I have some segments to redo, refining to do with a single thread going back thru, and graphite to carefully remove but per request some of the ladies got top surgery

I’m literally so stoked about this piece I’m so mad I keep having to take breaks bc whenever I concentrate for too long my jaw clenched up again and I start getting pain in my faceee

midnightinthemagicmicagarden

*dragging myself across the floor and covered in blood* it is finished…

My bad I’ve been in a mixed episode for almost two months and it’s made me have more episodes of lying in bed unable to move or do anything meaningful

But here we are!

#amazing work!

Yeah, yeah, all the textile and fibre arts lead to each other, we all became trapped here long ago.

The danger zone is when they lead out of textile and fibre arts, into agriculture and woodworking and smithing and beyond.

I've got it!

The danger zone is always one or two steps beyond wherever I am now.

#i wish i could have sheep #will settle for small flax field instead

it's me, boy, the small allotment plot of flax, talking to you from inside your brain

my advice for women is eat more, shave less, and do whatever the fuck you want

test weaving of penelope's tapestry on the chiusi skyphos:

reference:

there are some adjustments I need to make for tension, but I'd like to make the next version into a header band for a warp-weighted loom so I can try weaving the whole pot, including telemachus and penelope.

progress?

the proportions on the header band have improved, but I think I maybe should have doubled the weft threads for the warp.

also if anyone wants to knit the heddles for me, please be my guest. the last time I tied on heddles, I put the bar in the wrong place and had to redo the whole thing.

in true penelope fashion, I may need to unweave and start over, but at least now I've got the loom weights and heddles in place.

I started weaving the spear, penelope, and the right border via double-weave with the intent to leave the remaining warp threads unwoven (as they would be on penelope's loom on the pot), but predictably this is giving me tension problems. I either need to increase the loom weights or just weave the black layer and leave the orange warp threads unwoven, and then switch colors once I get to the heddle bars in the drawing, with the black warp threads floating on top. (I guess weft-faced tapestry would be a third option, if I add a ton more tension.)

either way, this is going to take me the full three years of penelope's stratagem, or perhaps the entire twenty years of odysseus's absence, primarily because clearing the sheds takes a monumental effort each time with this double-weave setup (which I'm not even sure is how it's supposed to be done, I kind of set it up based on vibes and what I thought made sense from floor loom setups).

I have 999 problems and warp tension is 997 of them (the other two are my selvedges).

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!

This textile is TWO THOUSAND YEARS OLD.

It looks like it could have been made last year. It is SO bright and whole. I am staggered.

big news for people who are me

Archaeologists uncovered a 1,000-year-old Viking textile production center near Aarhus, revealing large-scale cloth making and trade.

The site sits near Søften in eastern Jutland, about 10 kilometers north of modern Aarhus. Excavations by the Moesgaard Museum show a planned production area instead of a normal farming village. The settlement covered at least 100,000 square meters. Most of the work focused on making textiles, though other forms of handwork also took place there.

Researchers found an area where flax was prepared before workers turned the plant into linen. They also uncovered 82 pit houses, small sunken buildings linked with Viking workshops. Many held spindle whorls and loom weights, showing cloth production took place on a large scale.

I decided to try out whittling this summer because I am an adult so no-one can tell me to stop playing with knives recently bought a hair stick from a ren faire and found using it much kinder on my fine hair than a regular hairtie.

I made it from an apple tree that grows in front of my great-grandmothers house where I spend my summers. I like the idea of being able to wear my favourite places as self-made items, so maybe I'll make more of these in the future.

Tomorrow I will try to stain it a little darker with tea and iron. I don't necessarily want people to think i'm walking around with a chicken bone in my hair.

The tea worked ok as a woodstain, but I didn't like the color on the iron-infused vinegar treated sample. I think i'm going to oil & roast the wood in an oven tomorrow for a final color & finish!
