winding my supplementary warp
I thought up and tried something totally cool . I beamed my warp onto the piccolo loom then piggy backing it behind my saori 60 loom....
THAT IS HOW I wove my latest weaving, it worked really well
all done off the loom...
twist fringes
wash and dry
cut and drape and sew

You are so inspiring! I'm so glad that you share your love of weaving and are teaching and helping so many of us to explore our creative side through Saori weaving.
ReplyDeleteThank you wonderwhygal. YES sharing and showing how we can dig out creativity that is hidden in each and every one of us it is just so RIGHT!
Delete"if you are not having fun weaving then something is very wrong", i tell my students. so stop and change direction till you are !
peace through weaving

Jill, these are so beautiful. Each new jacket is even more beautiful than the ones before. How do you do it?! Re 'piggy-backing' looms- Mary Snyder did this to create some of her pieces; I worked on one of those at Banff in fact. I LOVE that you are so artistic and creative with your weaving, and even creative with your thinking in how to use the equipment! chana
ReplyDeletethank you channa
ReplyDeletei do not know of mary snyder? i know she was your mentor i believe? she sounds very talented. i also did not know if this type of supplementary warping with another loom had been done before. i actually call this tecnique "caboose warping " now .
i immerse my self and i keep remembering to let go and and visualize colors while at the loom . i never know what will emerge .....
