Each blanket begins with shades of blue with whitecaps, then into grey granite with that bright orange lichen, then the evergreens - clumps of cedar and those beautiful solo windswept white pines, and then blue skies with puffy cumulus clouds. That's the sequence from one end of each blanket to the other.
One blanket is pure Shetland wool:
And the other is mixed with handspun mohair - I did the handspinning over the last long while and found lots of suitable colours from my archives:
(Both photos show the water, rock and tree sequence and miss all the sky.)
The blankets arrived in North Vancouver today and here's what the buyer emailed to me:
I confess to high expectations, but must say that the finished product has exceeded them - I am thrilled beyond measure. The online photos do no justice to the colour saturation, nor to the texture of your work.
I will give you some respite, but you have not heard the last of me as a customer.
I was so thrilled to read her wonderful response!
I know I need to post better photos and I'm working on that, believe me. And, I have a new policy that anyone ordering from me can receive a full refund if what they receive is not to their expectations and they contact me right away and return the item quickly and in good condition. That means they can take the risk and only pay the shipping to and from their location.
Anyway, feedback like that means a ton to me! Thank you so much!! :-)))
