i stumbled upon totem... and instantly fell in love.... what's not to love about salvaged needlepoints, navajo rugs, textiles and leather all mixed together to make totes, clutches, and other fabulous pieces? artist's statement: (found here) I have always loved hunting for treasures at flea markets and antique shops. I love the thrill of finding some abandoned object like old horse reins that are beautifully crafted but need to be cleaned up and re worked into a strap for one of my bags. Something about giving new life to discarded objects is so satisfying. I am especially in love with vintage needle points , navajo rugs and old saddle blankets. I make them into backpacks shoulder bags and clutch bags. I also hunt for old trade beads and what I call hippie beads ,turquoise wood and other unusual beads that I thread onto the fringe that hangs from the navajo bags creating a unique one of a kind bag full of treasure and history. I make all the bags in my L.A studio.
After seeing the last post, someone asked me to share the pattern for the strap with the rainbow diagonal pickup, so I drew it up to share here. And since the chevron is a very closely related pattern, I thought I'd include it also. It would be great to see how other weavers use these patterns to create their own designs, so send me photos if you do!! The following information assumes that you already know how to do the Baltic style pickup patterns and to read the charts commonly used with them. If you are new to pickup patterns, I recommend that you start with something simpler and have a tutorial over here that you might like: Greek Key Pickup Tutorial The above pattern uses a progression of 5 pattern colors, almost a rainbow, against a black background. The visual effect makes the color bands appear balanced to my eye in spite of the fact that they don't all use the same number of threads. With some of the colors, I used 3 of each and some 4 of each. Below is the threading draft for this pattern. The top row are heddled and the bottom row are open warps. The pickup pattern is below. Background threads are not represented on the pickup chart, only the pattern threads. The strap shown in the picture below was done as a custom camera strap for a very colorful guy. You can read the story about that here: From Oaxaca City to New York City - Sharing My Love of Color With Other Artists. See how the pattern on the front and back sides appears very differently. Below is the threading draft for it. The top row are heddled and the bottom row are open warps. The chart for the pickup pattern is below. The colored squares correspond to the colored pattern threads in the woven design and the background threads are not represented. You can see how I achieved a nice effect by picking up two chevrons and then creating a space in between. When the pattern threads are not picked up, they show as speckles in the design.
If I tell you about a saddler-leather goods shop, located avenue Victor Hugo (so, not far away from the Champs Elysées), you will probably think about a dusty, elitist brand, which plays on its image…
