Sock Tops or Sculpture?

My friend, Kristi Holt, an avid weaver, showed me her latest creations. I was so intrigued by the textural "ball". Actually, it's the main "ingredient" for her rugs. They are sock tops and that is how they are shipped to her.

I can see this on a table top as a lovely piece of art. I'm sure my cat would enjoy it, also.

The picture above shows the lovely rug and the ball of sock tops. Makes sense when you see them pictured together.

I think this is such a fun photo. It shows place mats very close to being finished.

We took advantage of the great weather and displayed her scarves and table runners outside. Her work is lovely.  It takes a long time just getting her loom set up and ready for her weaving. I'll admit I don't have nearly that amount of patience.

 

Along with sock tops she showed me a bag of sock bottoms or is it sock toes? Well, you get the idea. I remember doing these as a kid, but my materials weren't as lush as these. Thanks, Kristi, for sharing the results of your talents with us!

Stay tuned, as they say, for further fabric dyeing adventures from the "Fabulous Fiber Women"!
