Here's what's OFF my loom

In my previous video I showed how to warp a rigid heddle loom.

Here is a photo showing what I DID with the loom I warped in the video.

What is it??? It is a 'sampler' of weft floats from the book, "Textures and Patterns for the Rigid Heddle Loom" by Betty Linn Davenport.

In this photo you can see examples of Weft Float Experiments #1 - 4.

These weft float experiments were created using a pattern stick which created a 'pattern stick shed'.

I've been FELTING

I decided to make some felt balls -- just for fun....





Then I decided to make some of those felt balls into beads -- just for fun...









And THEN I decided to make some flowers -- just for the heck of it ;) .....




I'll tell ya what.... Making the felt balls is ADDICTIVE. I really like the way they feel and sound when I scoop up a handful of the warm fuzzy things and then let them drop into a wooden bowl.... kind of reminds me of what the lottery balls on TV sound like. Ahhhhhh...... !?

Oh yeah... I felted some soap too...

How to warp a rigid heddle loom

Ok, I'm certainly NO expert... afterall, I've only had my loom about a week!! But, you know me... l guess I just love making videos. There are a few "flaws" in this one. I'm trying to add mor annotations but youtube isn't cooperating!

Well, here it is..... :) Hope it helps!
