Textural Woven Eye Candy

I was looking through the new Crate & Barrel catalog and found some very interesting textural and woven items. The first is a really beautiful table runner which can easily be made on an RH and is currently at the top of my to do list for Christmas Presents I thought the colors on this one were very complimentary. The rug is made of felted wool strips, an that was something I have not seen. In this set I loved the texture of the rugs, although I don't think I can do rag rugs on my loom, I like the colors and structures of these.
Then there are these pillows, WOW!! talk about a pop of color, very entertaining to the eye. I checked my weaving files and notes and I have something close to this warp in the Mary Atwater booklet for the inkle loom. Yet another item that can be achieve on my RH and on the to do list.

It's not that I don't get enough inspiration from all the weaving blogs, and believe me there are a bunch that I absolutely love, but few can be accomplished on my loom, so when I do find pictures of recognizable weave structures I can accomplish I get kinda giddy so bare with me.

I love looking at catalogs for the same reason. Plus, with a catalog, I can cut out and save the pictures. It's harder to keep track of things on blogs and the internet in general.

That's exactly what I did, cut, kept it, and scanned it for the blog. I do it all the time then after the file gets really large I weed out what I don't want. Hubby always wonders why, but then again he's not the creative type that gift is mine all mine hehe.

Woo-hoo! The humble rag rug gets some exposure through crate & barrel.

Loved the felted strips one--I have some felt around here somewhere...
