| My Taqueté Fiber Slap Bracelets |
These are my taqueté slaps that consumed my life for the first couple of months of this year. They were designed and woven for an article in the May/June 2012 Handwoven magazine that I wrote. These are great bracelets, which slap around the wrist, since they are light, colorful and fit pretty much any size wrist. I designed a simple repetitive pattern for the bracelets which used three shuttles; silver, turquoise and black yet appeared to have three shades of turquoise through an optical illusion. By swapping the positions of the three colors; six different bracelets are possible with the same shuttles. I also did a few from different parts of the color wheel. I felt like a mom sending her kids off to pre-school when I mailed them off to Colorado for their photo shoot. They should be home again soon.
Now, only one more big project and I can get back to tapestry weaving. I have several ideas churning through my brain. Is it time for another addition to my butt series or perhaps a poem in silk or....ah I can feel the excitement increasing...
