I started to weave this Raanu with the intent of having each bar of colour the same length. 10 cm. But of course some colours are running out Time to improvise...green turns to blue... orange to orange. Use what you’ve got & carry on...Much like my life really. #päivätär #raanu #handweaversofinstagram #usewhatyougot https://www.instagram.com/p/CMcwTF3pqZZ/?igshid=epdzs4csirp

My first project with newly tanned salmon skin - spice jar wrapped in salmon leather sleeve. The salmon leather is translucent so it would make lovely candle holders or lampshades I think. #päivätär #paivataryarns #fishleather #salmonskin #salmonleather #spicejar #zerowaste #naturaldyes #barktanning #birchbark (at Chichester, West Sussex)
