using green & purple pearl cotton, & 2-ply grey-wool warp yarns for the wefts....
bottom of piece has row of greek-soumak (in the grey), 2 rows of oriental single-soumak (black cotton) & then i began the pattern with the colored yarns....
all of the pattern being woven in "egyptian tapestry" soumak because i dig the ribbing effect :) ... seems to be 162(ish) knots per sq. inch... (i didn't know it would be this "dense" when i started it,& i am fighting urge to whimper now haha) ;)
had initially thought i'd tack a couple dangly-blue-eyes to the belt (possibly fringe) but changed mind, i'm just "hiding" one (ha!) in the belt itself, center/back of belt...
still have plans to bead the belt, just with wooden/metal beads though, no spooky eyes ;)
UPDATE: Apr. 5th, not finished yet, darning in ends, & want to bead it after i am able to get beads eventually, but its off the loom.. no more soumak craziness! (for now) haha ;)
