Take a look at some wonderful weavings from Saori Santa Cruz students this past week and my new bag and yarn sets….
Busy weavers ………………………………………………………………………...
Christal winds a cone with her choices of yarns to create a individual unique yarn.
Wind your own cone of yarns right on the Saori loom. Create them by winding 3,4,5 or more separate yarns.

….and then weave with your own special yarns like Christal did.

Eileen weaving her beautiful long wool warp she will sew clothing with it.
Saori kai's (sharing) are fun and inspiring...
Silvia is a psychologist and here she showed her newest piece. On this is a wall hanging she gathered all the natural add ins from a nature walk and wove with them in her weft.
Lichen moss, driftwood,leaves , bark, shells...
We loved this one silvia called it "my resumé " . She said " I use this When I propose my healing retreats , in which I explain that part of the days activity is setting aside time for the participants to express themselves in dance , saori weaving and drawing.
This is one of her weavings mounted on a file folder." This way amoung the words and figures proposed there is a real tactical weaving to touch that brings home everything I want to say immediately . It is very well recieved."
Silvia wove this cool pouch for her client sessions. They reach in and pull out colored markers . She uses drawing in her work to bring out new channels of emotions and communication.
She Gifted me a tiny canvas painted and a small piece of her weaving attached with a magnet .
I made and designed a new saori woven Bag!
I gathered up some of my wool scraps and a couple of left overs from students projects and sewed and created my new shape "hassock " bag. lined and zipped. big eonough for a week end bag, or my lap top, or yarns and knitting projects. all lined inside. The straps i used I sell in my Etsy shop
