My Looms






So seized by this new form of expression, I've been in search of tools and possibilities. No one responded to my requests for an old bicycle wheel, hula hoop, CDs or embroidery hoops, but between Amazon and eBay, I'm now resourced.
Not to mention that my specs were wonderfully well met by this made for me wood loom.

Shown are 
8.25" cardboard looms
10.25" painted cardboard looms and embroidery hoop with pink warp
12" custom made wood loom with yellow weaving in progress
14" wood embroidery hoop
18" floral frame (green)
19" metal macrame ring
23" wood quilting hoop

The 8.25 yielded a 5" piece

Hip Projects

While I search for sources of loom materials -- my wok ring is a leading contender --I paused to let my fingers do the walking and found a project where  loom, weaving and object are one.

It's deliciously inventive. The creator wove the top of an Ikea table, using the small hole in the center as anchor and threader, she circle wove the top using jute.
