After the white on white soumak bag I see to have the weaving   bug again.  I am hoping this one turns out to be a bag also.
I have a gecko design that a   friend of my stepdaughter's, Tara, did for me years ago.  We were   having a bon fine and a cook out while all of us ladies worked on our   craft projects.  This teenage boy sat down and graphed it out for me so I   could bead weave it...somehow I never got around to it.  I have had   this piece of paper, with all of its stains and such, for over ten years   trying to figure out how to do something with it.
Long story short I was   going to weave it into this piece, but the graph calls for more warp   threads to the inch (up and down threads) than I can use on this loom   with this thicker cotton yarn.  
Sooooooo, it is one of my   "  wing it, design it as I go"   things once again.  It happens that's   what I'm best at anyway.  
So here is the beginning.    Let me know what you think.  
Marci, I thought it was blue...but it is more purple than blue......periwinkle????
 Oh yeah, the weft (horizontal threads), I spun that cotton   myself!  How cool is that?
