And so I give you "The Quiet Japanese Couple", a textile series I've been working on in the studio. (SEE, there is still the sewing! And you thought it was going to be all that touchy-feely stuff all the time.)
They are chambray fabric backed by some kind of freaky starched poplin I had in the studio and then thin batting in between. Follow by sewing for ten thousand hours each and here you go. They're really just placemats, and I planned to make a set of six, but they are so lovely as a pair, I am torn! (As I usually do you the courtesy, I will note here that I refrained from more than one joke about "looming decisions", etc.)
I want to offer you the chance to admit that you too *swoon* when faced with chambray selvedge. When marrying the selvedge of nice chambray becomes legal in the eyes of the federal government, I will be there. Marrying the selvedge of nice chambray.
The Quiet Japanese Couple is a set of two panels that are inspired by Japanese boro textiles, which I just cannot get enough of. You feel the same way, no doubt. I mean, look at these muvs!:
