The summer evening events at Enderle Center in Tustin are really fun. This one will feature Celtic genre music which I adore. I'll be demonstrating weaving at Chemers Gallery which regularly carries my work. The gallery always puts on a nice spread of snacks and drinks for these events. It's a fun party atmosphere.

It's another art faire! South Coast Weavers and Spinners will have a
booth and demonstrations at the Studio Arts Festival at the Irvine Fine
Arts Center. I'll have some of my work there, and I'll be there with a
table loom. With music and food and in a park setting, this festival is
really nice, so come on down!<br />

I'm going to "pop up" at the Bixby Knolls First Fridays Arts Walk tonight, where they close off the street and have a sort of street faire. I thought I'd just go to demonstrate weaving, but I learned I'll have a wall so I'm bringing some wall art to make a little exhibit.

SCHG's
Weaving & Fiber Fest was a blast as usual. So many guild members
chip in and help, it makes a fun fiber-filled day. Here are Karen F. and
Karen L., modeling two tops I had in the fashion show.<br />
<br />
The purple and blues one on Karen F. is in huck and huck lace. The tops have sleeves that are open on top and are secured with a decorative button.<br />

<br />
<br />
They have a side slit below the arm seam, on a diagonal that gives them a handkerchief-hem look. The green one Karen L. is wearing is in leno weave and has a nice drape.<br />

And here's the display of the guild's annual challenge, whose theme was "Fruit". My answer were the towels that are all lined up in 2 rows on the rack. I called them "Fruit for All Seasons Towels", since they were woven in Summer & Winter (haha, get it? - groan!).<br />

I guess with the (finally!!!) cooler weather and Thanksgiving coming up I've wanted to weave some fall colors. What will these lustrous golds and rusts become? I've been working on several new things for upcoming sales.<br />

I had the honor of jurying the West Coast Fiber Arts show held by the Escondido Arts Partnership. This was my first time being a juror for a show. <br />
<br />
Here's a glimpse of just a portion of the exhibit. Come visit this municipal gallery to see all the fabulous works in tapestry, quilting embroidery, basketry, handweaving, knitting, beading and more. Four of my works are featured in this show as well.<br />

Okay, who can tell which of these table napkins was woven using a mechanical dobby, and which the electronic dobby? (Hint: I can't, and I wove them both.) These have a section of huck lace in the center of them, with plain weave in the striped borders. In the middle of a run of napkins, the CompuDobby I ordered arrived from <a href="http://www.avlusa.com/">AVL Looms</a>. So I decided to swap it in.<br />

I had to remove the main roller from the dobby head, and a bunch of parts from the side. Here they are along with some of the dobby chain (wooden bars with pegs) that drives the mechanical system, my box of extra pegs and pegging tool.<br />

The replacement for all that is this black box, magnet, and pair of sensors to tell if I have the dobby bar raised or lowered as I'm weaving. Installation involved drilling one hole, so I had the BF come over and do it -- no way I trust my (lack of) woodworking skills to that! It all went surprisingly smoothly and is working great so far. I like not having to screw in all those little pegs for every project, or swap out chains just to switch from pattern to tabby areas. However it's going to take some getting used to having a loom with an "on" switch!Deanna Deedshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10270335800427624458noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669316316459851394.post-69776876519241858932017-05-31T11:44:00.002-07:002017-05-31T11:44:24.090-07:00Art Show this Weekend - Fiber Art and More<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After reading my <a href="http://fiberartisan.blogspot.com/2016/03/home-again.html">scarf project</a> article in Mar/Apr 2016 Handwoven magazine, rigid-heddle weaver Amanda Cluxton figured out how to do sprang on weaving on a rigid-heddle loom. Check it out in the photo: where it is woven in, her supplementary warp is just "sistering" the ground warp in plain weave. Cool!<br />
<br />

It was a beautiful day to spend at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens for the annual Fiber Arts Day. I was one of the dyers again (our fourth year now!). We had our usual beautiful setting under a nice shade tree beside the herb garden. I had fun sharing about dyeing and the fiber arts with the hundreds of visitors coming through the Gardens.<br />
<br />
My dye results were less than successful, the beauty of the day notwithstanding. Out of my four dyepots I'd planned, only one - the madder - turned out as I'd hoped. One didn't even make it as far as getting the yarn in. The other three are pictured here. From left to right, olive leaves (alum mordant), olive leaves (copper mordant), madder (alum), madder (copper), avocado pits (alum), avocado pits (copper).<br />

After a long day with less-than-desireable results, it was a super pleasant surprise to come home to a package on my doorstep from Colorado. <a href="http://schachtspindle.com/">Schacht Spindle Company</a> gifted me a beautiful shuttle, complete with a note from Barry Schacht. It made my day!Deanna Deedshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10270335800427624458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669316316459851394.post-31229621545515606262017-05-19T15:30:00.000-07:002017-05-19T15:30:50.975-07:00Whoo-hoo!

My scarf with Danish medallions is on the cover of Handwoven magazine this month; how cool is that? This issue covers all different types of finishing techniques, so it's pretty yummy if you're into handwork like me. These techniques can be applied to almost any loom including rigid-heddle looms.
