i've been nearly obsessed with all the woven wall hangings that have recently appeared in the DIY world. i first fell in love with the one above, by alchemy. belinda's creations are so organic and peaceful, don't you think? after researching for weeks, i think i'm finally ready to start practicing on my own. i hope to make a small wall hanging for our little girl's room. she'll be here in just 17 weeks!
i've started gathering yarn and utensils and am currently trying to decide between making my own small loom or purchasing one. erica has written a wonderful DIY tutorial here, but i also love how simple and beautiful all the handmade looms are (like this one and this one).
i'm probably a couple of weeks out from having anything to show, but i'll be sure to share my progress with you! how about you.. have you ever every work with tapestry or weaving? what advice do you have for me? i would love to see your projects, too! xo, bonnie
Weaving is very fun and relaxing! I’ve made a couple small wall hangings/ornaments, a large one incorporating a tree branch and just now I’m attempting wash cloths!
I so want to give a try too! I just wrote a post about this very thing. :) There are so many possibilities… I want to try them all!
Hi Bonnie! I love your post on weaving :) I found your blog the other day through your SkillShare class and saw your link to our shop today! You are a doll – thank you! :) Love your beautiful work!
Yesss! Weaving is totally on my to-do list for near future :)
Ahhh, weaving is a love of mine!! The creativity that can be released in Saori weavings drew me to the craft..that and my love of textural yarns! :) My number one tip, is just let go and create! There are no mistakes, only opportunities!
