Two Times Creativity

By Karen ⋅ August 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I currently have both my looms warped and am working back and forth between the two. It certainly adds even more variety to the process! I have been making fiber art purses. After taking the body of the purse off the loom, I sew the lining in, and sew it all together. I then warp [...]

Hot off the Loom!

There is no doubt about it, It is hot, 21 days straight of over 100 degrees here in Texas. For me, that means staying inside in the studio, with the AC on, weaving and creating! I just got a new loom, it is a baby wolf by Schacht. I bought it from a member of [...]

Whats Happening in the Studio

By Karen ⋅ March 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I have four or five different projects going on in my studio. I am in the process of tying the fringe on a bed scarf to finish it off. When I have done that for an hour or so, I move to the spinning wheel where I am spinning some really cool yarn for necklaces [...]
