FROM ELISABETH, no. 2.

Received from Elisabeth in USA, May the 21.

My second letter from Elisabeth arrived yesterday. I think it's wonderful to be able to keep on writing with people and to get to know them a little bit better. My first letter from Elisabeth can be seen here.
Elisabeth weaves the most fantastic deflected double weave textiles, also known as cell weaves and I have fallen in love with them a long time ago. This time she send some of her samples to me. I feel so lucky.

Pretty, pretty, pretty!!!

This one is my favorite, as the colors interact in such a beautiful way. Also I think there is a very good contrast in the thick soft wool together with the more fine and shiny cotton.

Elisabeth were so sweet to send me some drafts too of the weaving technique.

Dear Elisabeth, thank you so much for this amazing letter. This time I'm going to make a little book and put your samples in it, so I can take it with me everywhere.

FROM JOY.

Received from Joy in USA, January 21.

A beautiful textile letter have come to me.
Joy lives in Colorado near the beautiful Rocky Mountains with her husband Brian and two children; Ian and Cora. She have been weaving since 2006.

Joy sended me a lot of beautiful items and I have made a little selection here.
The scarf to the left is in silk and Joy have handdyed it with onion skins.

In the fall Joy visited Japan with her husband and the white ribbon flowers is from there. It almost looks like a bracelet together with the two others I wear.

A woven sample from a scarf in Tsumuguto silk by Avril made by Joy in color effect. I really like this kind of weaving.

Beautiful recycled silk yarns. The colors are so fascinating.

The letter from Joy with two small handmade flowers.

Small buttons from Mongolia. These are used to be put on there traditional clothes. When I shake them, they make a beautiful sound.

Dear Joy, thank you so much for your textile letter.
