Clarissa Rizal weaving the tail end of the design field of "Jennie Weaves An Apprentice" Chilkat dance blanket robe - July 2011

After 4+ years, this robe is scheduled to come off the loom on Friday, July 29th at Teslin’s Celebration 2011.  I am hoping to have this robe danced then…we’ll see!  This is my first of a series of robes I have designed of a Chilkat robe within a Chilkat robe.  To distinguish the difference of the two, notice the blue being used in the smaller robe and the green used in the main body of the robe.

Why has it taken me 4+ years to complete this robe?  That very long story, along with the design description of this robe, I will tell when I complete the robe, make another move and settle down for a little while; I will include photographs of the various “landmarks”; stay tuned on that one.

    I have dreamed of being able to weave these robes as they are so very beautiful. Congratulations on finishing it and I hope you do get to see it danced in.

    Wool lining, gentle rubber soles as well as a sheepskin shaft are additional to these boots A few years ago, a small interaction with the surrounding friends envy boyfriend small booksWell the obvious answer is your feet are like warmed toast in winter – ugg boots act like a second skin and can warm feet even in temperatures as low as 30 degrees These classics are also available in the metallic style as well It is wise to wait for sales at the end of the season when most websites offer their boots at great discounts Walking in the house even requires something cosy and soft to keep us warm These elegant pairs are with normal and deluxe lace up and highly resistant to any damages Every season has its own charm You can easily avail these marvelous collections from online stores but before that make sure, you are availed with genuine sheepskin boots at your destination
