I love color. I love the surprises when mixing colors. I paint warps. I like weave structures using parallel threadings. I have created several scarves using one painted warp to alternate with a solid color warp. But what if…? Could I interleave two painted warps? Why not?
Reflections, or A Tale of Two Warps
A painted warp lay on the dye room shelf
Beside a warp quite like himself
Said he,”I am a handsome bout
So bright and vibrant all throughout”
The second warp said, “Why, why,
You are no handsomer than I
No brighter either, I’ll be sure
No more vibrant and no more pure”
The weaver came and saw these two
“I cannot choose between you and you”
She scooped them up, and side by side
They wove together showing each in pride
A reflection of each other’s hue
Richer, than separately would do
