I am a beginner - fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants weaver. Self taught and no illusions about my lack of technical skills. But I love to play and I love to weave. The Habu Stainless steel is the most amazing tool to weave with. How can it be stainless steel? Wrapped with silk it has the ability to be scrunched and bent into shape whilst still be soft and lovely to touch.
This was a lovely project - I warped up with the white stainless steel and then used a Habu Sampler ball from Dairing. The sampler had a whole bunch of different 'yarns' wound up - some sosenshi paper, tobe moire, all sorts of unusual things.
I wanted to play around with the yarns. I purposely created sections that had larger gaps, undulating sections of not much, just stainless steel.
Wonderful when dunked in hot water, 'thwacked' and then popped it in the dryer for 10 mins.
I wear it so much and always get asked about it.
Very creative. You can do sculptures ( sculpture textil),and a lot of tridimentional things, objects, boxes, and artistic works. Ahead with the experiment! Graciela.
Do you have any more photos to add? I would love to see it on.
