Hello. The background for the new weaving is finished, it's 8.5 inches by 12 inches. Shades of green for the land, shades of blue for the sky. I can't remember where the dowel came from. A piece of junk I picked up somewhere and took it apart giving me several pieces of varying lengths. I had to saw a bit off this one. I searched everywhere for something to put on the ends and lucky me, I found some small plastic cotton reels inherited from Joyce's house clearance. Perfect, they fit snug and tight without having to glue them.
I might go out this afternoon, it's sunny. I've just been to the Post Office, seen someone with short shirt sleeves, I didn't think it was that warm. I had a jacket on.
Tattybyes for now. Toodle pip. ilona
That looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteI tried to go out to the net tunnel with just a t-shirt on but it's much too chilly I was straight back in for my fleece.
Your ingenuity is amazing Ilona, love the use of the Robbins! Heather x
ReplyDeleteI am loving the thought of weaving. If I could only find/make some extra hours in the day Tony and I are currently hooked on watching Bob Ross on channel 9. His painting technique is wonderful
ReplyDeleteI like the look of your weaving and a good use of the bobbins. I did a bit of gardening and started sewing up my crochet squares.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as thou it going to be a warm day.

Oh well done. I can't get to grips with weaving, it seems too slow. I did a similar landscape with fabric using the stitch and flip method. Machine and hand embroidered on top with some batting behind. Look forward to how yours turns out. deb
ReplyDeleteHi Ilona. I love your little loom. I seem to remember you did a video ages ago on how to make one or did I imagine it? Id like to have a go at weaving! Your finished piece is very colourful x
