Starburst snowflake scarves

Late in January I caught the sun awakening on the horizon, interesting because of the smoke haze from the fires in Australia, the other side of the Tasman Ocean.  I can't imagine the horror of being near one of those big blazes.
And now the big reveal of the snowflake twill scarves/ wraps/ table runners.
 Table runner you ask!  I called to see a weaving friend and after our show and tell she insisted on having the black and white piece as a runner for her rather large antique dresser.  Her comment was "Its the most beautiful piece of weaving I've seen".  I have to say it is very striking.
 And the green one.
 Can you tell I'm trying different ways of wearing a scarf?
Last post I showed a piece of shibori when I had just removed the resist threads and said I couldn't show you cause it was put aside for an exhibition in April.  Well a lovely Scot lass saw it and it now has a new home.  I quickly grabbed a photo before it went out the door so excuse the draping.
Note to family:  I need a laptop with a decent photoshop program on it.

  1. Hi Dianne,
    Inspirational work (as usual) The shibori piece is so wonderful. Are the dark borders smart planning or serendipity?
