I kept coming across all sorts of woven art (see a hefty sample on my pinterest weaving board), and I love the retro 70s handmade vibe this art has going, so I built my first lap loom from a piece of wood and nails. It slots in between two pieces of wood tied together with elastic, which serve as my stand, so I can work on it upright at my desk.
My second loom is bigger. I made it with 3 longer pieces of wood, nailed together, with evenly spaced nails along the top and bottom. Here it is all strung up and ready for weaving!
And here's what I've woven, so far:
The weaving above was done on the big loom. It's about 1.4m in length.
This weaving was done on the branch, with macrame knot fringing. I love that this branch looks like antlers.
All my weavings are available at my Etsy shop Orsino Nation WOVEN, along with more pictures if you feel so inclined.
Tschuss for now!
