Julie Bowyer Handwoven Textiles: P2P2 - In Progress
http://juliebowyerhandwoventextiles.blogspot.com/2011/08/p2p2-in-progress.html
Monday, 29 August 2011. P2P2 - In Progress. I made several yarn wraps yesterday and have decided on making a warp similar to the wrapping below. I may reduce the width of the turquoise to get the proportion a little better. Bullfrog with yarn wraping. This section is my focus as the whole image has such a lot of green. My initial thought was to weave a double cloth but I have changed my mind. My multi-shaft loom is occupied with another warp so I have decided to scale down to just eight shafts.

Mostly about weaving, a bit about this and that. Monday, July 1, 2013. Small Piece exhibtion: Amy O'Brien. From New Zealand has organised a virtual 'Small Piece' exhibition and I am hosting Amy's woven piece on my blog. Amy is 10 years old and this is only her third time weaving at a loom. Amy wove on a Saori loom, 2 shaft with a pre-threaded black cotton warp. She brought all the weft yarn with her from home. She wove this last Saturday and it took her about 3 hours. By Amy O’Brien". All things I make w...

sampling: August 2013
http://sampling-sampling.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Mostly about weaving, a bit about this and that. Sunday, August 4, 2013. Such a lot can change in a week. A bit of sunshine midweek, a bit/lots of chocolate ( cupcakes. A bit of encouragement from friends, a bit of perseverance, and ignoring dishes, laundry and housework in general, I got the warp onto the loom. This is the widest I have woven on the table loom, almost the full width. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). All things I make with that long thin line. View my complete profile. Likewise, if I have ref...

sampling: March 2013
http://sampling-sampling.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Mostly about weaving, a bit about this and that. Saturday, March 16, 2013. It has been hard to focus this year but craft camp at the end of February restored some faith and inspiration. It has taken nearly another month for me to get my act together and finally got a warp on the loom. It makes me feel restless when my looms are empty, without warps. It makes me feel like I am neglecting them. Do they have feelings? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). All things I make with that long thin line.

Mostly about weaving, a bit about this and that. Sunday, February 15, 2015. Weaver to weaver 2015. Each year, Meg organises several online events that allows more contact between weavers than the normal reading and commenting on each other's blogs. One of these events is called Weaver to Weaver. Where we send a small envelope of weaving-related items that mean something to ourselves and/or may inspire the receiver. I sent my envelop to Donni of loomandarty. From Utah in the United States. Yes, we are goi...

Mostly about weaving, a bit about this and that. Wednesday, April 2, 2014. I have been hanging out here. Of late so this blog is a bit neglected. These are the bobbins and thrums left over from my last 2 pieces of weaving for Meg's April Spool's day. Join us and show what is on your spools/bobbins/quills/pirns.

sampling: February 2013
http://sampling-sampling.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Mostly about weaving, a bit about this and that. Tuesday, February 12, 2013. 矢羽 ya (arrow) hane- bane (feather) (jap.) - “fletchings, feathers of the arrow”. Quoted from Olga Buraya-Kefelian. On Skype through Sooz. I love the three-dimensional aspect of the structure and the simplicity of the design. There was also the folded shibori/origami pattern that I came across at the workshop with Yoshiko Wada. Hat's more, it also reminded me of the 2-dimensional woven pattern that we saw at the. I am lucky to ge...
