More from the Itchiku Kubota Museum gift shop are these expertly woven scarves from Koma, made entirely from silk and chiffon. I just had to grab one from the brand for myself so I can admire the beauty within the fine weave when I return home.

Arachne approved 👍

This little friend was sitting on my loom supervising my weaving for over an hour today! There's a lot of pressure with that many eyes watching you, but it was fun to have them as my little supervisor.

Anna Wintour in bespoke LOEWE at the Met Gala 2024

'Inspired by a circa 1944 evening cape by 20th century designer Charles James and tailoring from the LOEWE Fall Winter 2024 women’s collection, Anna’s tuxedo in wool with a silk satin shawl collar is decorated with floral motifs using hand-dyed feathers, tonal beading, and pearl embroidery. The jacket is paired with a long sleeve dress in bias-cut silk satin.'

'Awakening Flower Bouquet' embroidery inspired by Tulipes Hollandaise fabric by Charles Frederick Worth, 1889, from the Met's archives.

I made this tapestry on a saori loom, freestyle weaving :)

first attempt at weaving! (not counting little practice swatch pieces)

it’s all cotton, mostly lily’s sugar n’ cream. my tension is really off, i can tell- even after wet finishing, it ended up kind of a trapezoid. it definitely settled, though.

next experiment is probably going to be a hand towel with more complicated weaving patterns- i’ve practiced a few, but wanted to use plain weave on this so the colors showed more.

overall, i’m obsessed- this loom is borrowed from my boyfriend’s aunt, i’m definitely going to look into getting my own rigid heddle loom :o)

Richly illustrated volume exploring the inseparable histories of modernist abstraction and twentieth-century textiles.   Published on the occasion of an exhibition curated by Lynne Cooke, Woven Histories offers a fresh and authoritative look at textiles—particularly weaving—as a major force in the evolution of abstraction. This richly illustrated volume features more than fifty creators whose work crosses divisions and hierarchies formerly segregating the fine arts from the applied arts and handicrafts.   Woven Histories begins in the early twentieth century, rooting the abstract art of Sophie Taeuber-Arp in the applied arts and handicrafts, then features the interdisciplinary practices of Anni Albers, Sonia Delaunay, Liubov Popova, Varvara Stepanova, and others who sought to effect social change through fabrics for furnishings and apparel. Over the century, the intersection of textiles and abstraction engaged artists from Ed Rossbach, Kay Sekimachi, Ruth Asawa, Lenore Tawney, and Sheila Hicks to Rosemarie Trockel, Ellen Lesperance, Jeffrey Gibson, Igshaan Adams, and Liz Collins, whose textile-based works continue to shape this discourse. Including essays by distinguished art historians as well as reflections from contemporary artists, this ambitious project traces the intertwined histories of textiles and abstraction as vehicles through which artists probe urgent issues of our time.
