I love these glimpses into your studio. The machinery, the colors, everything.
ReplyDeleteYou had mentioned in a prior post not having a place to put your heddle hook, IIRC. I was thinking that you could anchor a pill bottle, one of those amber things in the larger size, into the corner of that basket, and that could hold your heddle hook, and other tall miscellany.
The article is very interesting and nice, I hope you can also visit my website to thank you!
