#poppana
Varastoa kaivellessa löytyi tämä kuva, joka esittää parikymppistä opiskelijaa oululaisessa opiskelija-asunnossa. Näköjään sama äidin tekemä poppana pöydällä kun tänäänkin.

Mun pääsiäisastelma. Poppana on 80-luvulta ja rakastan.

Started weaving a new piece last night. I'm experimenting with a tapestry technique known as hatching. I won't be able to see the full effect until it's off the loom.

It's one of those magical days when the colors are coming together on my loom even better than I expected when I selected the fabric for my poppana strips.

Kolme vuotta sitten ostin poppanan kurppikseltä peffan aluseksi. Tallessa on ja satunnaisesti samassa käytössä. #VuodenOstot #Ylikulutus

Neljä vuotta sitten ostin Porin kirppikseltä poppanan peffanaluseksi. Tallessa on edelleen ja toisinaan käytössä. #VuodenOstot #Ylikulutus

Here's a peek at what's currently on the loom. This week I've been weaving a piece called "Growing Seasons". Like most of my work, it's handwoven with poppana (bias-cut fabric strips) hand cut from thrifted bed sheets, curtains and/or tablecloths.

Grandpa used ropes for the front apron of his rug loom, but this system is less than ideal for my style of artistic poppana weaving. A canvas apron would work better.

Out of respect, I'm always hesitant to make major structural changes to Grandpa's loom. 1/2

I am honored to officially announce my first solo art exhibition, The Nature of Rag Rug Weaving, at the Carnegie Visual Arts Center, October 27-December 12, 2026. The collection I wove for this exhibit are examples of traditional floor rugs and contemporary, nature-inspired, poppana tapestries.

As a poppana weaver who favors upcycled fabrics I try to be mindful of the waste generated by my practice. I save a lot of fabric strips that are leftover or too short to work into other projects. Fusing the random little patches of color together on the loom is brightening my day.

As I was weaving, the #One leaf became a sort of forest fairy, or Maple Maiden.

Joku päivä me kudotaan poppana neukkarin seinälle! 😸🤚🏻

Se on rököraanu, rääsäle
Poppana on kangaspuissa kudottu jäykkä kangas. Loimi on 6-säikeistä kalalankaa. Kude on täysvinoon leikattua kangasta, sen ansiosta pinta on samettimainen. Poppana käytetään mm liinoina ja seinävaatteina. Ennen myös patjapussina olkipatjoissa.

Studio life... Finally got my thrift store sheets organized on proper shelving. Now I need to figure out how to keep my bits of leftover poppana strips tidy until I'm ready to weave a rag rug with them. 🤔

Ja hieno poppana.

Mulla on kernisohva, se vasta inha onkin ihoa vasten😁

Mutta mä olen ratkaissut ongelman siten, että mulla on siinä päällä poppana. Kelpaa löhöillä.
