Udstilling -- Exhibition

Fra lørdag til onsdag i den forgangne uge var Uglemor et lillebitte tandhjul i Holbo Herreds Væverforenings hvertandetårsudstilling. "Væverforening" er lettere misvisende, da der foregår så meget andet,. men nu hedder foreningen altså sådan og det har en ualmindelig god klang.
Her er nogle billeder fra mangfoldigheden. Uglemor har naturligvis lyst til at prøve det alt sammen.

Last Saturday through Wednesday MotherOwl was a very small part of the biannual exhibition of our local weavers' guild. The name is quite misleading, as so much else but weaving is happening, but we're used to the name, and it sounds good.
Now for some pictures. Of course MotherOwl would like to try all the activities.

• Uglemor viste theposefoldning - med aviser, så man kunne se hvad der foregik.

MotherOwl showed how to do candy wrappers,
but used newspaper, so that the process was really visible. 

• Vådfiltning ved en af vore virkelig garvede rotter. Bemærk den ægte marseillesæbe.
• Wet felting done by an old hand. Notice the soap - real Marseilles soap. 

• Nålefiltning i lange baner. Det blev til et billede. 
• Needle felting turned into picture making. 

• Så bliver der kniplet, også i stor størrelse. Det bliver til et sjal. 
•  Lace making. Also oversized, it'll end up as a scarf.

Trædrejning. De skønne agern her var til salg, på udstillingen var der også 
adskillige skåle og andre flotte ting. 
Wood-turning. These pretty acorns were for sale. Also exhibited were several bowls, 
bobbins  and yarn holders.

• Spinding. Se hvor flot og tyndt garnet her er. Det var fascinerende at se på. 
• Spinning. Just look at this! So fascinating.

• Brikvævning. Det er imponerende hvad man kan frembringe af mønstre. 
• Tablet weaving. I never stop wondering how many patterns come from this fairly simple technique. 

Og selvfølgelig blev der også vævet. Det store billede viser en spreder, 
den sørger for at man holder bredden medens man væver. 
and of course weaving happened as well. The big picture shows a temple 
- a practical thing for keeping the width in the woven piece.
