Some unusual weavings...

There were some comments on Jude's blog this morning that inspired this. The leaves are from bulbs that bloomed several weeks ago. It was easy to stitch through the leaves as they are still pliable but didn't do much stitching. I'm anxious to see what happens to all of these when they dry. The basket shape was made over some twine where it was easy to stick in pins to hold it in place while weaving. I'm going to try leaving it there until it dries.

a velvet heart just for color. wove around the weaving with some linen thread.

did some stitching on this little one--just around the edges

beginnings of a basket

added a couple of strips of cloth for color and to hold it in place

i like the irregularity of the top (bottom here)
