I developoed this design to reflect my thoughts on a Garden at night. I have been working on a Garden series for several years, and this is yet another piece in the series. Woven in 60/2 silk, it has an amazing drape and feel! (Click on photo to enlarge) Copyright 2002 Su Butler

Garden Series, this is similar to Garden Path at Night, only with the colorations I see in my garden at sunrise. Woven in 60/2 silk. (Click on photo to enlarge) Copyright 2002 Su Butler

This is another version of my yellow Golden Haired SuziQ scarf pictured in the Tied Weaves Gallery. This was woven on a 30/2 Tencel warp with a 60/2 silk weft. The idea was to create a logo for myself….can you see the capital letter’s “S” and “Q” in the design? Copyright Su Butler, 2001 (Click on photo to enlarge)

This piece was woven of 50/2 soy protein yarn, with silk as the pattern weft. Sett at 45 epi and woven at 110 ppi. I really like the way the leaf design flows with each permutation. The finished fabric is soft and wonderful! (Click on photo to enlarge) Copyright 2002 Su Butler

I recently participated in the CW Fine Threads sample exchange. For my samples, I truly wove samples, trying many different yarns sizes and fibers to achieve a fabric that was interesting, had a nice hand, and showed the deisgn I had created based on the thrums strewn across my studio floor. This piece was woven on a 60/2 silk warp with 30/2 Tencel and 140/2 silk wefts. Copyright Su Butler, 2002 (Click on photo to enlarge.)

Woven on the same warp as the piece above, this piece utilizes 10/2 Tencel and 60/2 wefts. The difference in the size of the fibers had a big impact on the way the fabric wove. The piece was heavier than I originally hoped. Copyright Su Butler, 2002 (Click on photo to enlarge)

Still using the same warp, this sample uses 30/2 Tencel and 60/2 silk as weft. This piece is the most satisfactory in hand, design and overall finishied weight for the purpose I had in mind. Copyright Su Butler 2002 (Click on photo to enlarge)

Another in my Garden series, I developed this pattern while reflecting on the shape of a rose. Woven in 60/2 silk. (click on photo to enlarge) Copyright 2002 Su Butler
