And it’s time for audience participation…

I’m warping the loom in preparation for the next project. While I’m doing that, here are 3 cartoons (each is 6 inches by 6 inches) and I’ll let you decide which design goes up on the loom next. I’m warping with the 8 dent coil and will be weaving primarily with the Tahki Cotton Classic in a variety of colors. Just leave a comment and let me know which design you prefer by midnight on Thursday, January 13^th. If I don’t hear from anyone, I’ll just randomly pick one.

Since up to this point I’ve been focused more on various yarns and how they look when incorporated into a weaving and less on technique, I thought I would use this piece to demonstrate some of the various weaving techniques from “Tapestry Weaving” by Kirsten Glasbrook. This will give me a chance to work with techniques that I rarely work with and will hopefully show you how different techniques look when used together in a tapestry. And since the weaving is only 6 inches by 6 inches, I should be able to complete it fairly quickly. I’m trying to avoid larger, more complex projects that will drag on.
