Hand Loom Weaving

Weaving using a small loom:

I was looking for my loom and when I dug it out, along with my tools I found this; my first hand woven sampler. I took a fiber arts class in college and it was quite fun. This was our first project, hand loom weaving.

There are no mistakes, only different techniques and trials. My tension tended to pull in as I worked downwards, and varied with different fibers. Not bad for the first try though.

Pictures are in order from the top to the bottom of the weaving.

Two rows of texture, or raised work are shown here on the right.

All three of the most textured, or raised work are shown here, at left.

I like the top blue and white area with the wrap best. The green and brown area, at the bottom right, isn't as pretty.

Counted Cross Stitch

Yes, friends, welcome to my blog! I can't believe how long it's been since I posted anything. This is a little cross stitch sampler I made 20 something years ago. I know, right?  Yes, I just wrote that. It's what happens when a lot of teenagers hang out at your house and when you work with high school and middle school kids all day. I wouldn't have it any other way though. **grins** 

Back to my sampler...It is stitched in linen, which means you skip a 'hole' and stitch into the next. Good thing I made it when I was 20 something, I need a magnifying glass and Ott-Lite now.  Speaking of which, I do have an Ott-Lite, True Color, full spectrum , floor lamp that I love. I just need the one with the pattern clip and magnifying glass now. I haven't cross stitched in forever!!! I do have a few needle point projects going now.

The paper-craft project that I just completed is not photographing well. I made a little book using a Cosmo Cricket packet of paper, called Earth Love. I'll tell all about it when I can get some good pics.

Thanks for visiting me and I do apologize for not commenting as much as I normally would. Just know that I have been looking and admiring everything. I have also been visiting the parties. Please let me know that you haven't forgotten about my little blog and leave me a little love!!
Cheers!
