- Description
- An off-white card with an oval-shaped cutout window that displays a piece of green and white cotton weaving using an advanced twill multi-harness. The designs are woven with white thread and resemble elongated diamond shapes, or because it’s a Christmas card, it could be evergreens right side up and upside down. The paper is folded in three parts. The first piece is folded over and glued; it encases the rectangular piece of woven fabric that appears as an oval shape on the front. There is a light sand/beige ring around the opening (0.20cm) 0.50cm from the cutout area. When the card is opened, on viewer’s right, there is a calligraphic printed greeting of “Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year”, and underneath it is signed in longhand, with a ball-point pen “Eileen and Bob Hett”. On the viewer’s left, written in longhand with a ball-point pen: “Hello Mary, The card is an advancing twill, the result of a study our More than 4 group did last year. This year we chose one profile, and we are all weaving samples using different weave structures. I’m doing a 8 shaft boulevard. Hope you are well.”
