free scarves from wubet

they seem to be so free, right?

beautiful, beautiful handwoven scarves

(or shawls? i don't even know the difference)

from wubet autumn/winter 2011 and autumn/winter 2010.

designed by arnold haas.

found on abigail doan's blog,

that i found on susan's sugar diaries.

also, talking about freebies...
i didn't forget about the promise
i made here.
i swear i've been thinking about
what it sould be, ever since...
by now i decided that it should
be some nice tote bag that i make...
i kinda have the design already.
never really made a nice tote bag before
(well, i made a few simple ones
for family as christmas presents),
but that shouldn't be a problem,
of course i'll manage it.
i can still sew, i hope. :P
but i need to buy some fabric and stuff first.
please bear with me.
:)

a little this and that

i love both of these.

1 _ from the latest collection of sollis. via ecco eco.

2 _ from tutankhamun's embalming cache (it's made of flowers and seeds, things like that)

(i think it's small wonder that it did stay with us)... even more here at abigail dolan's blog.
