How do you like my weave?

Since I've graduated from school I haven't touched a loom.  The piece above is the second project I did in my intro weaving class.  I am really itching to get back to some weaving basics and start weaving again.  I think I'm going to actually to make a simple one from a shoebox or some other simple frame.  As much as I love hand weaving (I don't) I think a project like this will really tie me over.  Here is a website showing you how to make a basic loom.

Thank you for being a friend

These are part of a series of portraits I did to commemorate my favorite television show, the golden girls.  These were done Novemberish last year and they are hand woven and machine embroidered using free motion stitch.  I did these as a project for the intermediate weaving class at NSCAD.  I tried to match colours and weave structures for each girl.  I like the Dorothy one the best, but I'm bias since she was my favorite.  I've also included sophia in this post and later I'll show Rose and Blanche

Finally I jumped on board

So here is my first entry of many about my perspective on the Textile Arts
