Color challenge completed

Purple Onions Runner

Here is my answer to the guild challenge for 2009: "Weave something in the color(s) you dislike most." The color best qualified for that choice in my case is purple. This workshop piece is done in overshot structure based on an old traditional pattern called The Wandering Vine. The white ground is 10/2 perle cotton, and the colored pattern yarns are raw silk in purple (shown) and a deep maroon. Title: Purple Onions Make Me Cry.

Finished, but not removed from the loom because there's more warp and I'm going to do a second piece on it.
