November 18, 2016
Those scarves came to me with no colour. Just pure white silk. I used them to test acid dyes for a baby wrap, the results of which you can still see – the blue, yellow, purple, and magenta are from that era.

A while ago I added a second loom, a beautiful Leclerc Weavebird, to my studio. And started a new project on it, Lindavia collection, while working on the Stone Plum on the old loom.
