A few more favorite photos! 🙃 #weaving
A pastel plaid fabric in a shadow box frame with lights. On the front glass is attached the prose that inspired the design. The prose by Parker J. Palmer says we must collect the threads of hope, meaning, purpose, energy, and will to re-weave our lives after tragedy and loss, using the red thread of love. A floating rigid heddle threaded for a pickup pattern on an inkle loom. The pattern is a Pride rainbow on a white background. A houndstooth weaving project on a 4-shaft floor loom. An LED light strip attached under the top shelf illuminates the weaving below. Additional examples of inkle woven bands, including plain weave, horizontal bar pickup, 3-color pickup, and a threaded in American flag design.

These are some of my inkle projects. #inkle #tabletweaving #weaving
A collection of 6 Pride-flag inspired bands. Variations on Pride rainbows, Bi Pride, Ace Pride, and Trans Pride. A custom ocean-themed tablet woven band on the loom using two combined patterns. One is a Ram’s Horn pattern in blue and white that looks like waves. The other is a vine pattern using a variegated blue fading in and out of view on a medium blue background to imitate ocean currents. A tablet woven Celtic braid pattern in lavender, and dark purple with a black outline black on the loom. A blue inkle band on the loom. This band uses white and 4 different shades of blue to create a glowing effect around a dark center stripe.

Adding some of my weaving projects here. These were 4-shaft floor loom projects. #weaving #4shaft
A pastel plaid on the loom during weaving, with light blue, yellow, purple, green and orange interlaced with a dark red grid. A closeup of a handwoven houndstooth pattern, alternating cream with dark red and a greenish grey. A symmetrical plaid on the loom with a weaving shuttle. The plaid is camouflage inspired, with light brown, dark brown, green and grey colors. A closeup of a log cabin pattern in light pink and dark green, which gives the 3D illusion of larger woven strips.
