My own thoughts about the design have now started, so I discarded the image.
And I happened to discover that Noreen Crone-Findlay, as well as having a really entertaining YouTube weaving channel, and being a true DIYer, has written books. The only one in my library system is this,
and it's an eBook. No use for real study, but great for the gist. So I have ordered a used copy, because I just had to.
She has ideas for working on all sorts of small looms, and that reminded me of my potholder loom.
Searching for that, I unearthed a collection of equipment I've made or adapted, for weaving. Including a little cardboard Family Circle one; I have no idea where I got it. I noticed a couple of experiments under way there, too.
Some fiber artists have looms like beautiful antique furniture, and they often are handed down.
Mine are donated saw blades, frames, and random cardboard pieces. The weaving sticks are there, too, in case you were wondering what weaving sticks look like. These really are lovely, artisan-made, friendly to hold. Aside from them, my weaving life is mainly DIY.
Interesting collection of equipment! Wonder how many men would be confounded by your use of a saw blade.
ReplyDeleteTrue! The man who gave me them is my across the street friend, contractor and artist. He's tickled with the circular works I've made in them. Women are scared of them, cracks me up.
