SilverBand

I've been doing some tablet weaving on our terrace deck.

I was interrupted by someone who thinks I am the most shiny baby in the corner. The flirt was so straight that even I understood it. I must confess I was a bit flattered. A woman at my age and still someone thinks I have the most shiny body in the world!

Since being a child I have been admired dragonflies but never before they have been interested about me. Not even I get many of them visiting my garden every summer!

This fellow was really persevering and arrived several times to get me on the flight. I told I am married already but it took quite a long time until the nature called and the dragonfly flew after someone else.

I designed and made silver-golden tablet weave band. The other end is a bit different because I tested another figure first but noticed it doesn't work so well. I could have taken it away but wanted to leave it all there. I decorated the other end with glass beads. On the other side is 12 beads for the protection of 12 months. On the other side is 8 beads for the protection of 8 seasons. In the modern world we live in months. In the traditional Sámi world we live in 8 seasons and nature cycle. I am sure you can spot the golden snake figure there. For the band I used Schoeller & Stahl's Manuela yarn (85% viscose, 15% polyester) (25g = 112m) in golden and silver shades. I have never before tried band weaving with metallic yarns but as long as you are careful with your moves and turns it seems to work just fine.
