Weaving Butterfly Wings

Built while still recovering, one of the final props for the main set. This, for the porch next to the wisteria vine chair, a rustic tapestry-style loom sits in the sun. Rana, the film's main character, weaves butterfly wings as her art. Art within art. My art makes her own art.

 

A friend donated an old blouse to the project--no, she meant for me to wear it--but I cut it up into several sort of lace butterflies to use as the weft for the tapestry style 1/2L butterflies. One, half-done on the loom Rana keeps on her front porch (seen being made top images) and standing on her porch in the middle. The little one, finished in wool yarns with roving body and wool blanket yarn antenna, shown on the bottom will be featured in one of the opening title sequences for the series.
