Lapis Loom — Silk Moth Weavers Character Sheet

The story of Lapis Loom

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

The weavers of Lapis Loom work on a street where the morning light reaches the windows before it reaches the ground. They hang pale threads in those windows to see which strands have thick places or knots. A visitor can tell how busy the workshop is by the number of empty hooks beneath the racks. On festival weeks, every hook has a spool.

The spinner carries a long tool topped with wrapped fibers. An apprentice takes new spools to the loom, leaving their ends loose enough to find by touch. The seated weaver passes a shuttle across the taut threads and checks the pattern against the hanging cloth. The lamp beside the frame gives enough light to see where navy turns into gold.

The dyer watches a length of thread run into a bright basin and keeps short samples on a nearby rack. The guild's sash bearer looks for small faults in the finished cloth by holding it at arm's length. A traveling weaver carries a rolled piece and a large shuttle so work can continue on short visits to outlying farms.

The sheet groups six pale winged moth figures with delicate antennae, gold fasteners, cream layers, and dark blue wraps. Embroidered hems echo the patterns visible on the loom and sash. The poses move from standing with a tool to walking with supplies, sitting at the loom, and raising finished cloth to inspect it.
