Tapestry Weaving...Views of cardboard weaving and some inspiration from Kate

Done on a cardboard loom

Here is a "loom" purchased from amazon.  You could make this yourself but the precut slots are convenient.

Some inspiration:

Here  are some weavings done by my friend Kate, she is on instagram as #kates_cottage_weaves. These show how Kates uses the vertical aspect of her weaving to create the appearance of a landscape. These were NOT done on a cardboard loom but could have been! Kate uses square or rectangular frame loom without a heddle, so she is picking out each shed. As Kate points out even horizontal sections of her weavings can be viewed as mini-landscapes.  Kate uses embroidery and fabric strips for warp. She also uses visible warp as a design element. 

Here is a small purse that Kate created from a weaving

One thing that I like about tapestry is that I am constantly making creative decisions. I'm not following a pattern...this is part of my definition of art. 

Here's an in-process weaving on a cardboard loom. This one is going around the loom to make a small purse. 

Here's one done on a purchased copper pipe loom. I later made my own (without soldering, but using expensive attachable joints.  I love the "mountains beyond mountains" look. I have the landscape bug too.

 This was done on a frame loom given to me by a friend.  I chose to sew tabs on it and back it with fabric. This is called "Virgo Rising"
