Notes: 

This is the last of my first sample batch of handspun alpaca yarn and the second project I have made with it on my backstrap loom. I saved all the left over warp from the first project and used it as supplementary weft for this one. I had just enough yarn left to make this cell phone pouch and decorated it with supplementary wefts. The motif is a scroll that I saw on an Indonesian textile at Conevrgence last year. The scroll was repeated across the width of the textile. I stacked the scrolls and went alternating and inverting them and in doing so created this new design. I made a drawstring closure for the pouch

Absolutely beautiful! Your

Absolutely beautiful! Your arrangement of the scrolls created a spectacular design. I just got a new cell phone that needs a new case and have been contemplating making one. It will probably be an old phon e by the time I get it done!
