I wanted to weave another
sample.
This is rather generous
as a swatch.
Perhaps it is a
tiny blanket?
The "loom" is strung. I used the clean lid of a pizza box. I cut slits 1/4 inch apart on opposite sides. Then, using a yarn with which I have been dissatisfied, I warped my loom. |
Almost done. |
Beginning to remove the piece from my humble loom. The yarn stretches enough so it pulls loosely back into my fabric. |
I tied the end of my weft to the warp |
and finished removing it from the cardboard. |
Using my Fiskars mat as a reference |
I took "before" pictures. |
Then I washed it in my washer. I used a zippered cloth bag to keep the fibers that came loose from clogging up my washer and dryer. Here is the result. |
And once more, against my "loom," which is re-warped with a weft barely begun. |
Another "reference" shot. |
Oh I think it is sooo Beautiful, having visited the Navaho I have always been fascinated by weavings, and your little blanket could be wonderful for a dol, or a doll living room, or over a chair, or on the wall warming a space and making it cozy and beautiful - This is really so Very Beautiful! I dont see the edges as uneven, just a handmade touch that adds even more character - its just Lovely <3
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tiggy. :) I kinda like it, myself.
DeleteI think those are good suggestions. Just looking for
practical ways to use my work, too.
