Two cotton and wool handwoven bandanas

22” x 22”
These two bandanas were woven while thinking about the relationships that I keep in my life, specfically the things that I give to and hope to recieive from others in those relationships. Woven with lots of heavy handed references to the hanky code, as one might imagine, the colors are taken directly from the various bandanas in the code. However, the hand dyed colors do not represent the kinks in the code directly, but the emotional/relational concepts that I associate with those kinks. 

The two bandanas are woven out of primarily 20/2 unmercerized cotton, set at 30epi.

Left bandana  – 8-shaft overshot, “Whig Rose and Lover’s Knot” by Mary Meigs-Atwater

Right bandana – 2/2 twill, custom tartan
