Weaving

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.

Absolutely love 💕 your yarn art! And the frame. Did you get the frame locally? You always find the best projects! Do you know if she still offers that class?

Always fun to see what you’re up to.

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

Carol, these weavings helped me remember a time when, as a teacher at National Jewish Hospital, I went with a friend to a conference in Kansas somewhere. During free time, we went to a museum to see the work of an artist whose work was this kind of work. Weavings that hung from the ceiling. Weavings that went round and round. Absolutely fabulous. This weaving is my favorite of the those I see here.
