I was really thinking about swapping out number 16 from The List (take a textile design class). The class is not exactly cheap, also Britt (who I was hoping to take the class with) and I have a hell of a hard time coordinating our schedules. But after seeing these photos on textile designer Karen Barbe's blog I am having a hard time giving the activity the axe. What I would do with strands of woven fabric? I HAVE NO IDEA. But I WANT TO MAKE THEM.
*I could hang potted plants with them, maybe?
That looks seriously complicated. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteit's probably the crack talking, but those would be excellent armbands, methinks.
ReplyDeletedear j,
ReplyDeleteplease get me for the swap again next year and make me a valentine's scarf, ok?
love love love,
c
Belts!
ReplyDeleteDO IT!
damn, I want to take this class!
ReplyDeleteGuitar straps, camera straps, hippie headbands for Woodstock, hipster kiddie-harness tethers, hipster Etsy dog-collar store you plan to open, rad bookmarkers as gifts for blogging friends...
ReplyDeleteTie them around your noggin, of course.
ReplyDeletelove you guys.
ReplyDeletea class would be so much fun. these look awesome.
ReplyDeleteWell I hope you go for the textile class! I've learned that crafty activities worth more for the time spent in them than the practicality...
ReplyDeleteThose photos made me start drooling a little bit. Where in San Diego can I take such a class? Or any textile class, for that matter?
ReplyDeleteYou just made me add another thing to MY list.
i should clarify- the pictures are not from the class. they were just tugging at the strings of my desire. the class we thought about was through the UCSD crafts center... I assume you could get here from there, eventually
ReplyDeleteOooh, I'll check it out. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteKaren Barbe's blog has a link to info the tablet weaving technique... looks doable.
why do I love your blog so much? oh yeah, cause it's damn good.
