Mid-September 2010
Ok, so there are some fast and easy things that I can make in the kitchen, with puppies at my feet- but I'm a weaver! I want to be a fiber artist- what can I weave on a tabletop?
PAPER.
The best part is that I can practice color combinations and weave structures without having to warp a loom.
I've also been having an itch to paint something other than gaming miniatures (my other blog is
1 Crafty Gamer), and my first attempt at multimedia collage excites me A LOT.
 |
I got photo scrapbook paper in a booklet that has three copies of each image.
Here's two of them woven together, with white, red, blue, and yellow acrylic paint used for highlights.
It tickled my fancy so much that I decided to use it as my avatar photo on Etsy! |
Twill seems to be one of the most interesting ways to weave paper- here are my first several framed pieces:
 |
| Basket Weave |
 |
| Basic 4 shaft style Twill, but with color-blocking |
 |
| Houndstooth |
 |
| The center of a large diamond twill- I find it dynamic. |
 |
| Plaid that reminds me of Houndstooth |
 |
| Just for fun- there were these great pages in the book that had splotches and splatters of color that looked like they would make an interesting abstract piece when woven together- and to help balance the result, the last strip is mounted on the right-hand side. I suppose that it could be hung at another orientation, if someone wanted to... |
 |
| Plaid based on a Houndstooth center |
 |
| Plaid that reminds me of those potholders you make with loops... |
 |
| Which inspired this one. |
 |
| Standard twill, as with four shaft 1,2,3,4 thread and tread |
