Here's a few pics of some of my woven items. Pillows from sock loopers, place mats from plastic gracery bags, and me at a recent show. I will get more up later.
looks great! have you thought of sewing hats or clothing with your woven fabric? i worked for a lady who did this and made some nice sales. think of beautiful rustic cloaks, skirts and tunics! i weave a bit too, but not much at the moment, i have a 13 month old baby so it's a bit tricky right now, i think my loom is a similiar size as yours, but its a 'jack' type frame so it folds right up. it's a great idea bringing your loom to festivals. people love to watch how things like that are done. i do the same thing with my spinning. your work and your booth looks great, good luck to you!! kathy
Thanks for the positive feed back. I own a sewing machine and have never plugged it in. I keep telling my self I will get to that next. I think I will let the other more nimble handed mamas sew and I'll stick to the loom. Although I do weave fabric for some of my girlfriends that make clothes.
Very nice! I know missy May's first love is weaving but she sews like a dream too. She posts her sewing but I don't think she has ever posted her weaving. I feel very fortunate to have some things she has woven and cherish my scarf the most probably because I use it constantly.
You do beautiful work!!! I really wish that I could go back to weaving full time Your loom is a really nice size
Thank you. If you ever are in the area and wanna pass the shuttle a few times feel free-haha. I was blessed enough to come from a family were this is a part of our heritage. I was given all 3 looms we own and I have a studio that houses a 12 foot wide loom that is over 200 years old and belonged to my great-great Aunt. I feel that when I weave I am in the presence of those greater female figures who have come before me and give me strength and inspiration. I am glad to share this with others who are so positive. Peace and get warped!
NICE!!! I'm soo freaking jealous... I REALLY wanted to get into woven stuff when I got my sewing machine... one day I promise....
oh, sister, you're stuff looks great! my aunt used to weave & i still have the scarves she made me as a little girl. it's such an incredible artform & you really don't see many young people picking it up well, i wish we lived near one another...i would teach you to sew in exchange for some weaving lessons!!!
thank you for sharing your story....i think it's beautiful that you are helping to keep the weaving tradition alive (& also the powerful energy of the women before you)!!!! makes me smile
