  Functional and fun things made at Solitude by Gretchen Frederick. I bring my love of color and a background in art and design to create hand wovens, photo cards and accessories. Most items are one of a kind or one in a related series; not everything can be shown, call for descriptions or additional email photos.  
          
        
  
Shoulder bag

Hand woven, multi-color side panel/shoulder strap paired with re-purposed denim. Asymmetrical triangle shape with buckle, magnetic closure and pocket. Very comfortable and just the right size to pack a wallet, bottle of water, sun glasses and small essentials.

Five available, all unique.

$65.00
 
Hand woven scarf

Solitude natural dyed yarns; salmon colors from madder root and the dark and light blues are dyed with logwood. Scarf is 7.5" wide by 60" long plus a 4 inch twisted fringe (twisted fringes will hold up to wear and washing without fraying). The scarf will be very warm, but is better over collar, it is a little scratchy for bare skin.
$109.00
 

Detail shows the twill weaving structure and the color and weave pattern to create a scarf that is different on both sides. One side has vertical blue stripes, and the other side has horizontal stripes.
