Le thème de celle-ci est « L’arc-en-ciel dans la tempête ». Ça faisait longtemps que j’avais une pelote de la compagnie québécoise Artfil d’une couleur qui s’appelle La rose du tonnerre. Je me demandais comment l’utiliser et de là est venue l’idée de cette ceinture! Je recherchais un effet chaotique, multi-facette qui imite cette idée de l’arc-en-ciel sous l’orage qui s’estompe tout en gardant un aspect très lumineux, donc j’ai utilisé du gris avec des copeaux roses en grande quantité. Plus de perlage que d’habitude aussi, avec une plus grande variation de couleurs dans les perles.
C’était un défi technique surtout pour maîtriser les dégradés. Je n’avais également jamais fait aussi gros que sept têtes de flèche avec de la laine à bas donc je suis vraiment contente d’avoir quand même réussi à finir en un mois!

The theme for this one is ‘The Rainbow in the Storm’. I’d had a ball of yarn from the Québec company Artfil for quite some time, in a colour called ‘Thunder Rose’. I was wondering how to use it, and that’s when the idea for this sash came to me! I was aiming for a chaotic, multi-faceted effect that captures the idea of a rainbow during a storm, fading whilst still retaining a very luminous appearance, so I used grey speckled with pink. I also used more beads than usual, with a wider variety of colours in the beads.
It was a technical challenge particularly when it came to getting the colour gradients right. I had also never made anything as big as seven arrowheads using sock yarn before, so I’m really pleased I managed to finish it still in a month!

Incredible work! I'd expect to see this kind of thing in an art gallery or museum. You should ask around and see if anyone has space and interest in one of your pieces! Start local, there's always an appeal to the 'local artist' angle for galleries especially

Thank you!! I am part of my local fingerweaving guild and we do an exhibition every year so this is definitely a lot of fun. Also Québec is very tight knit when it comes to arts so I think with the years I will make more connections… It’s only been a little over a year that I fingerweave so I am still a baby artist in my community. So, the future is exciting!!

This is insane work. How'd you get the beads on the warp? I'm not familiar with finger weaving.
This is like art gallery worthy.
