Handwoven Shawl

This is my first weaving project that I've finished. It's soy silk (warp) with mercerized cotton (weft). It is somewhat uncommon for a woven item in that the stripes run along the length rather than the width. It's super soft and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!!
It's a twill pattern that used a straight draw threading. It was somewhat simple and a good project to start out with.

Save the Date Cards

Here's what we ultimately designed and printed after taking the screen printing class! We had a lot of fun with the whole process. Our screen printing teacher was such a cool guy and he really helped us out a lot (Chet at the T Factory at the UCSD craft center = amazing!).
