Resurfacing

[humblebumble]

Hello good people

Some of you may remember me from a few years ago, talking about weaving and suchlike.

College has kept me busy, but now I'm tablet weaving again and feeling mire sociable.

For those who dont know me, I am a weaver of all kinds of cloth, including tablet woven bands of varying levels of complexity, inkle weaving, Kumihimo, spinning, braiding, whatever. I am interested in historical costumes and technical fabrics. I can also machine knit.

If you have any questions about textiles or weaving techniques, whether historical or modern I'm happy to help. If I don't know the answer I can probably find out, and if I can't find out I'll probably be concerned, but I'll let you know.

I also like to sleep outside in front of a pile of burning cellulose and make things with my hands

Hello
Good to hear from you again and it sounds as though you're being busy too

I'm netmaking just now............linen thread's a pain to use but cheap garden twine seems to be excellent for practicing

Largs Viking festival is on just now; they're always interested in tablet braid.

atb,

Hello the self denigrating bee,

I am not sure, although I am rather slow, of what you mean by your reference to burning cellulose. The obvious or the occulted referenced here?

Kindest regards,

RTh

welcome back, would be interested to see some of your work sounds great

Aha!

By burning cellulose I mean wood, as all plant matter is composed of cellulose. I suppose one could attempt to burn ferns or potatoes or other plant life, but I doubt it'd work well.

I suppose I could be sitting in front of a pile of burning books, but that's a little dark, so I'll say its wood.

Aah, largs festival, definitely sounds excellent, I shall make a point of trying to get in as a trader next year. I need to build up stock first, I currently have next to nothing to sell.

dreadhead: I shall post up some pics in the next couple of days on the DIY and crafts section I think. I spent about £25 on cheap-bottom acrylic knitting yarn yesterday for making bands with (it's such easy stuff to use so it ends up being my base-level stock. also, the colours are nice and bright and excellent. if vikings were around today, they'd love acrylic and acid dyes, totally)
