Here it is 2012 and I am so excited, I just know its going to be the best ever. I have started a new warp on my loom, making some very textured art work from Alpaca, leather, semi precious stones and some of my wool hand-spun yarns. I am having so much fun creating each [...]

Whats Weaving Now

I have been working every chance I get on new art scarfs for my upcoming shows. I have to say, every time I finish one, it becomes my “favorite”! Color and texture are such a big part of why I love to weave and spin fiber. It is just too fun creating the color combinations [...]

New Off the Loom

By Karen ⋅ August 28, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I just finished a table scarf or bed scarf (it works for both) on my loom. It is made from recycled remnants of silk cut into ribbon yarn. The colors are so bold. It would look fantastic on a long wooden dinner table! I am working on two scarfs and a belt right now, both [...]

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 [...]

Felting Creation

By Karen ⋅ June 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I decided the other day to try my hand at felt making. I have read some about making it and seen so many really creative things made from it so, being always up for trying something new, away I go… I used some hand died roving to start my process. I laid four alternating layers [...]
