Tendonitis (2)

Here is the 'official' photograph taken under less pressure this morning. Outside with an overcast sky as recommended by Stacey Harvey-Brown. It works too. The colour balance comes out right. The only weakness is the folds. The fabric is so light that the only way to get a plane surface would be to pin it to a board. This one and the one  with the fabric crumpled up have been printed out  using the Inkjet on Photo Glossy Paper II. Forms are filled up and envelopes addressed. That's it - for now.

Last night my shoulders were really sore. This morning, they have gone away!! Aren't osteopaths wonderful? 

Michael's hospital bed arrived this morning. It was not as large as I expected but still there is not much space left over. The District Nurses have to come and put the finishing touches to it. So we are (nearly) all set for tomorrow.

My sister, Dorothy,  has arrived from Scotland to help out with Michael for a week. As she was a GP, that help is more than welcome. She has brought all her Procion dyes. My immediate (textile) task is  wind the Tencel skeins ready for dyeing.

About Me

I am weaver and - -. I dye my yarns with acid dyes, I paint my warps, put fabric collages and stencils on my weaving. I have three looms, a 12 inch wide, 12 shaft Meyer for demos and courses, a 30 inch Louet Kombo which is nominally portable but has a stand, two extra beams and a home-made device containing a fan reed. And last a 32 shaft Louet Megado which is computer controlled, has a sectional warp and a second warp beam and I am the proud owner of an AVL warping wheel which I love to bits and started by drilling holes in. I inserted a device for putting a cross in. I have just acquired an inkle loom and had a lesson from an expert so I can watch TV and weave at the same time. I am interested in weaving with silk mostly 60/2 although I do quite a bit with 90/2 silk. I also count myself as a bookbinder with a special interest in Coptic binding.
