One more repeat at the bottom would make the proportion better. But this seems like a good design to me, and the flowery edge is an effective way to use a variegated thread, I think. The thread I used is size 20, white on shuttle 2 and my own hand dyed "Lola" on shuttle 1. The finished size measures about 3x4 inches (almost 8x10 cm) The written pattern is still in the works...I have quite a few in the "works".
Bag #4 has been started on the loom. I used a little of the "Spicy Hot" hand dyed pearl cotton in the border of the bright rusty orange oval motif on the right. As with the previous bags, a polymer clay button and tatted loop is planned for a closure.
Your cross is very pretty! I like Lola with the white center!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this cross and will have to have the pattern for my Lola thread! The weaving is lovely as well.
ReplyDeleteThe flowery edge of the cross really does a nice job of displaying your HDT. Very pretty indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I will either get the pattern into my "book" or share it on my website. But I think tattycat will have her book finished first :-)
ReplyDeleteA book? Me? Whatever gave you that idea? Maybe one day!
ReplyDeletethe weaving is beautiful! I can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathleen. Exuberant praise does give me incentive to keep going!
