Last week, I travelled down to the Sjuhärad region to deliver these heddles to Vävkompaniet and visit Åke Erlandsson, who has been making heddles for them for many years. It was awesome to see some of the heddles he's made and his workshop, where he has crafted several hundreds of them.

You can buy these heddles (and my darning mushrooms) on Vävkompaniet's website. Naturally, Åke's fantastic heddles are also available there! 😄

A huge thank you to Maria Stawåsen at Vävkompaniet for coming along and making sure I got to meet Åke.

I have taken up weaving, something I thought I would forever leave to others. I’m collecting all of the craft techniques and weaving just wasn’t my style. To slow, to methodical.

Band weaving, yes! Small scale tapestry, maybe. But like, real big loom action? Nah. But I just finished my first self drafted half fill costume fabric and I’m hooked.

Yes, there’s a mistake in the middle. But I’m going to be making it into a bodice, where the mistake will disappear into the garment piecing. Yes the process was long and slow, but shuttling on a good day is better than deep breathing meditation. I’ve never been so satisfied with the state of things.

I guess I’m a weaver too now. So I am become a creator of fabrics.

Here is the latest folding spoon that i have made for a costumer. its made out of cherry wood. I absolutely love how the chipcarved pattern turned out, i will definetly do a similar pattern in the future. I usually sketch out a small part of the pattern in advance and then the rest of the pattern is allowed to grow out of the sketch when I carve.

This was a commisoned pice. a spoon like this one would cost about 4000 SEK. Its takes about three days of fulltime work to make a spoon like this.
