This is the first piece of this 9 1/2 ft long warp.  I decided to take a small piece off to see if I liked the design work.  I had graphed the scrolls myself and I was afraid that it would seem too busy with all of the different color background stripes.  But I think I nailed it!  This will be a cell phone pouch for an i phone.  The rest of the warp is going to be a table scarf for my sister's coffee table in front of her couch for Christmas.

So flattered.

Your compliment flatters me tremendously.  Your works are so much more technical than what I have been able to achieve so far.  But I will keep at it until I too can do some of the more complicated pieces.

Again, Thank you so much.

woo hoo

Boy do I know how hard those scrolls are.  You should see my first attempts.  I don't have it down, but I can at least work it out now.  My first were real wonky scrolls.  I have a warp going onto my Glimakra band loom which would be perfect for practicing scrolls.  Thanks for the inspiration. 

So, kudos to you for a bunch of perfect scrolls.

scrolls are certainly tough

You are soooooo right!  I had to chart them several times over.  Especially hard since one side was 2 warps smaller...I am still struggling with them as I complete this warp.  I am now doing the design in the dark brown scrolls as a table scarf for my sister for Christmas.  Thanks for the encouragement!
