How can a weaver see these fabulous colors and patterns and not be inspired?
I love my yard this time of year!
This Saturday, May 8th I will be sitting in an Iris garden with my weaving as part of the Aromas Country Garden Tour. You will have the opportunity to tour 9 gardens and visit with artists in some of them. The event is a fundraiser for the Aromas Hills Artisans. Hope you will stop by if you are near.

Have you ever made flowers with your woven inkle bands?
ReplyDeleteDo you mean woven a flower pattern into it, or constructed a flower from a woven band?
ReplyDeleteI love your yard too! Gorgeous photos. My roses have little tiny leaf buds waiting for warmer temps.
ReplyDeleteconstructed a flower from a woven band. the petals in the photographs remind me of the delicate loops one can create with very fine yarn 10/2 or 16/2 perle cotton inkle bands.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I can't quite picture this. Well, I did just learn a Japanese way of folding fabric into a flower and maybe it could be adapted. I wish I could see what is in your mind.
ReplyDeleteThat second picture down--do you know what those flowers are? They appeared in my garden underneath my roses.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors!
Yes, Melissa. It's a nasturtium. They come in a range of colors from rust to orange to pale yellow. They are annuals, but tend to re-seed themselves very capably here. They are wonderful and require little attention, which is what works best in my yard.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Now I know what to look for, and where they will do well in the garden. I'll keep my eyes open for seeds, next. :)
