I love these super thin wool yarns. They are perfect for tablet-woven earrings 🧶❤️

The pattern is based on an Finnish Iron Age grave finds from Kaarina Kirkkomäki.

I visited the beautiful beach at Hailuoto and took a few photos of custom made tablet woven band in this stunning setting.
Hailuoto is the largest island in the Gulf of Bothnia and the third largest island in Finland.

New custom made belt. I really like this pattern. For me they look like dragons.

When I get an idea I usually have to test it in practice straight away.

Now my old holster has a new look.

Custom work.
The symbol designed by the customer which I translated into a weaving pattern.
Love this comission and it taught me a lot!
This is also the widest belt I have ever weaved. More width in the world! 🤎💛

The old leather factory in Aura.
The factory was built in the 1920s and in the 1930s it was Finland's largest manufacturer of sole leather. The factory has been empty since the 1970s.
I think it is the finest attraction in Aura.
There is something special in abandoned houses. The past is present.

I'm an artesan of ancient techniques by training. Every now and then it's nice to be able to use the skills I learnt at school and now I'm working on a deer skin into a hide. I've been making a fat-tanning and there's just one last thing to do, the softening.

Making of bag straps.
Pattern is from the book Applesies and Fox Noses - Finnish Tabletwoven Bands and it's called Corners of fox nose gardens.
I love these names that the patterns have in this book.

Thank you for the authors Mervi Pasanen and Maikki Karisto.
