 I took a free online class from Jessica Ybarra . It made me interested in weaving. I have lots of yarns and roving from other experiements I have done in fiber art and the loom was pretty inexpensive so I thought I would give it a try.
I like how it sits on the loom so I'm unsure of what to do next. If I leave it on the loom, as kind of a frame, I can't make any more unless I buy another loom! My brother is a wood worker so maybe he can make me a few similar looms. I don't mind paying since this is like paying for framing of some of my mixed media works. I also think I will add more weavings to cover more of the white string (warp?) at the top. I can say this is very zen. No pressure. No pattern. No idea how it will look in the end. Just my kind of art-making!

OMG! That came out great! I, too, have recently taken up weaving. And Happy Birthday to you…I just turned 77! So weird to say that number. I started with this same frame: it’s a Tapestry loom, which means it is Weft-Faced, rather than Warp-Faced. Take a look at www.SpruceandLinen.com for ideas to take it off the loom. I agree that it is so fun and satisfying to work on. You’re going to love exploring this fiber-based art.

Go to her website. I think she offers this class for free. I bought my looms from Amazon (under $20 and really excellent construction) Here's the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09136Q7ND/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Leave a Reply. |
