Terrible storm












A while ago I found some transparent glass pendants in a crafts-supplies-store. My first idea was to cover them with fabric, like I did here. Then I realized I could might as well use big buttons if I wanted to make some fabric-covered pendants. Therefore I decided to do something else of the glass pendants I had. Since I like to paint things with nail polish (and sometimes myself too), I thought nail polish would be the perfect match for my glass pendants. 

The motives are supposed to be trees (not sure if that's perceptible). I felt inspired by this painting that my youngest sister once made for me.

The Brightest Crayon in The Box

Here's my first weaving project. 

I like the  bright and bold colours - including pink, navy blue, turquoise and purple. The white balances the brights.
  
I find weaving to be fun and easy.  
I like to see how the woven fabric grows and grows on the loom.  

Weaving reminds me of knitting. Both knitting and weaving is about producing a two-dimensional fabric made from a one-dimensional yarn or thread.  
I often enter a meditative state while weaving or knitting. It's very relaxing to me, and brings me back into balance.
