Hand Woven Door Panels

Description

Made for my friend Lynn in Tucson.
Handwoven French door panels. Had to be cat proof, colorful and block the light.

:spin: Not quite what I planned lol. I couldn't do as many color blocks as I wanted on the 4 harness loom that was available. So I was going to make white blocks that would have made a window pattern and I intended to dye paint them the colors I wanted. I forgot to make a series of horizontal stripes so I got 5 vertical b/w stripes.

I took the two panels to my freind Mary's house in Louisiana in Dec. We got some icy cold beverages and had a go at painting designs with thickened fabric dye after viewing some painting (60's child) Lynn did some years ago. Mary did floweres and I did the filling in around them with dots, swirls and blobs. Groovy and funkalicious happened. lol.
I brought it back home and made a CD of all the pictures I took while making it including a bunch of Mary and I painting.
A few weeks ago we went to AZ and gave it to Lynn in person. Here they are hanging on the bedroom doors to the screen porch.
