<h3>
Tapestry weave is all the rage now, kids are learning to do it, home decor is showing tapestry wall hangings, and tapestry jewelry is really showing big! Learn how to make your own loom and weave whatever color/size you want or need! </h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
It is very simple to make a loom, and class will include how to do that. The bracelet class, looms will be pre-strung, in the interest of saving time. You will have lots of time to choose and coordinate your own special set of fibers, including recycled fibers. </h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EmOecIXbMkY/Wi2R5w1uGKI/AAAAAAAAEFQ/e3RmI-yrHTMoD3zH-rRFS2FXaZ1MDdpFACEwYBhgL/s1600/bracelets1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1275" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EmOecIXbMkY/Wi2R5w1uGKI/AAAAAAAAEFQ/e3RmI-yrHTMoD3zH-rRFS2FXaZ1MDdpFACEwYBhgL/s320/bracelets1.jpg" width="254" /></a></div>
<h3>
Many, many color combinations are possible...so if you have a special outfit you want to coordinate with, or your teenage granddaughter has a favorite color, you can do that!</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
You also have the chance to choose from my incredible cache of handmade, stoneware pottery charms, to embellish your creation! I also have lots of buttons and beads, or you can bring something special of your own to add in. </h3>

<h3>
Bracelets look great stacked, or worn singly, and will include a variety of closure styles.</h3>

<h3>
Please feel free to bring your own fibers to add in. This is a great way to use that silk tie that your grandfather always wore, or the baby clothes that are just tatters, but you can't stand to toss!</h3>

<h3>
The Tiny Tapestry Necklace includes choice of one of my handmade charms, and choice of beads at the start of the tapestry. In this class, you will make and string your own loom. So if you take both classes, you will reinforce the technique, and have a chance to start it from scratch!</h3>

Things change<br />
I am less able to weave - it used to be fun (almost necessary!) to weave several hours a day - sometimes 10 or more. But i can't do that anymore. So my focus is changing. <br />
I can no longer take one these hundred plus hour projects and expect to execute them.<br />

, presents <a href="https://gwinnettehc.org/event-registration-2/?ee=1298" target="_blank"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Continuous Threads:</strong> </a> An exhibition that chronicles the historical significance of weaving in Georgia and the South for the past two-hundred years. I was invited to participate in this remarkable fiber art exhibition, as a demonstration of how the traditional technique of coiling is carried into the contemporary art realm. Three of my contemporary art works were selected by curator Ariana Yandell.

<span style="font-size: small;">I am honored to have been asked to write a how-to
article for <a href="http://www.bellearmoirejewelry.com/" target="_blank"> Belle Armoire Jewelry magazine</a>. If you have not read this magazine before, I highly recommend it.
There is always lots of technique based information in it, and wonderful
photography.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">My article is a basic looping (knotless netting) technique, and includes a project with step by step photos and tips. The project uses my "faux stone" <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/154690684/clay-heart-heart-shaped-faux-stone" target="_blank">clay hearts</a>, found in my <a href="http://makeabasket.etsy.com/" target="_blank">MakeABasket etsy shop.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://www.bellearmoirejewelry.com/" target="_blank">Belle Armoire Jewelry magazine</a></span> is published by Stampington &

have used this service before, and it's great! I love this! My town does not have a book store, where I can buy these, so I have to drive 30 miles to get one, or have a subscription. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">The magazine is sent the same
time it comes out on news stands, but it is wrapped up (so your neighbor or carrier does not get sucked into reading it) and comes quickly.</span></div>

Random
weave is so much fun! Make a great wall pocket for a plant, or a
handled basket, or use your imagination to make your own shape. These
baskets are fabulous accents in the garden or on a porch, and function
beautifully as planters. Lovely bamboo-like pullet vine is novel and
wonderful to handle! Some people weave more than one basket in this
class.<br />

crafted, wonderfully irregular pottery heart. Results in an exquisitely

This is<a href="http://catchingthemoon.blogspot.com/2011/11/hapy-thanksgiving.html" target="_blank"> not the first time I have posted about cornucopias. </a><br />
<br />
For the <a href="http://catchingthemoon.blogspot.com/2010/11/ready-for-thanksgiving.html" target="_blank">past several years,</a> the approach of Autumn has signaled the weaving of a great number of cone-shaped, wild based forms, and I suppose I will have to admit, it has become something of an obsession with me. Here is a little cross-section of the many takes I have made on the traditional horn of plenty!<br />
<br />
It all started with that <a href="http://basketmakers.org/topics/seasonal/thanksgiving/frprojcornucopia1.htm" target="_blank">free pattern</a> that Susi Nuss posted on <a href="http://basketmakers.org/" target="_blank">her website</a>. Of course the pattern uses reed, and not something I use enough to have just what I need for it laying around. <br />
So I had to take a trek to the woods to find something suitable.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i7H0-X_6zcE/UIFis5y6_RI/AAAAAAAACYg/6RGnpXUiN0c/s1600/gvcorn_6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i7H0-X_6zcE/UIFis5y6_RI/AAAAAAAACYg/6RGnpXUiN0c/s320/gvcorn_6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I quickly realized what a great form this was for experimentation.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7-fnyK5-YMc/UIFixullY1I/AAAAAAAACZA/_t-OAgBFlVI/s1600/long5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7-fnyK5-YMc/UIFixullY1I/AAAAAAAACZA/_t-OAgBFlVI/s320/long5.JPG" width="273" /></a></div>
<br />
Wild gathered materials sometimes do not have the flexibility and easy conformity of reed.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

A cornucopia does not always have to be pointed, they can take a pod shape. <br />

It was a wonderful discovery that cornucopias often make great wild hats.<br />

Walking though the woods every day as I do, looking for stuff to weave, you would think I have seen just about everything I could see back there. But this Autumn, I came upon some amazing little "flowers" that I have never seen before.<br />
<br />
This year has been very wet. Have you ever seen Indian Pipe?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Also called Corpse Flower, it is a fungus, and I was amazed at the
variety of colors, sometimes growing in close proximity to each other. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CuuNWqkt9Lo/UHogICczDrI/AAAAAAAACU0/VCBI-tG62H4/s1600/indianpipe3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CuuNWqkt9Lo/UHogICczDrI/AAAAAAAACU0/VCBI-tG62H4/s320/indianpipe3.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
They range from white to pink to red and even purplish tones!<br />

Here's a great little basket woven by Kim Bradshaw of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/kimstexascreations?ref=pr_shop_more">Kims Texas Creations</a>! It is woven using flat reed, round reed, and twisted seagrass, and Kim thinks it "looks like an armadillo tail!" So fun. The jumping off place for this cornucopia shape was one of the cone shaped potteries from my <a href="http://MakeABasket.etsy.com">MakeABasket etsy shop</a>.
You can see more of Kim's wonderfully fanciful weavings in her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/kimstexascreations?ref=pr_shop_more">Kims Texas Creations etsy shop!</a>Pamela Zimmermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11904926075031478539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470706983797617914.post-41559037497445550782012-05-15T21:18:00.000-04:002012-05-15T21:18:14.731-04:00Tenerife Window by Terry WowkHere is a beautiful wall hanging by Terry Wowk. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Terry has used a wonderful array of techniques in this stunning hanging. It is hard to believe she styles herself a beginner. Way to go, Terry! I am quite impressed.

It uses one of the tenerife window pottery pieces from my <a href="http://MakeABasket.etsy.com">MakeABasket.etsy.com</a> shop as a start.

It blossoms like a flower, and reminds me a great deal of Native American Madela, but with a real pine needle twist :)
Terry, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful piece with all of us.

<p>
<i>"Ijust wanted to say thank you for offering all the ceramic basket starts and thought I'd send you a picture of some of the bowls I made this winter.
<p>
This Fall I had surgery on my thumb to repair torn ligaments with a transplanted tendon harvested from my arm and had holes drilled in my thumb and a screw to secure things.

Needless to say I required physical therapy to regain mobility in my hand so I decided to make bowls.

<p>
I taught myself to coil using the instructions you sent and since I had access to driftwood I incorporated pieces into the bowls.
<p>
I think they turned out pretty good.<br>
Thanks again.<br>

Wow! What a story. Thanks, Deb, for sharing your little bowls with me. I really think they turned out great! Of course she is talking about the little ceramic bases she purchased from my <a href="http://MakeABasket.etsy.com">MakeABasket.etsy.com shop.</a>

You may have guessed that Deb has some fiber experience, she is "primarily a watercolor artist," but likes to try her hand at different things, and has some gourd rims under her belt. This was her first experience using the whole philodendron sheath in coiling, as well. Fabulous!<p>
Deb is on vacation now, but returning very soon, and you can see her other artwork in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lureart">her etsy shop.</a>Pamela Zimmermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11904926075031478539noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470706983797617914.post-78911062749181367452012-04-23T12:06:00.000-04:002012-04-23T12:10:38.565-04:00Ruth's Memory Basket<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<sigh> Another memory. My favorite part about making horsehair baskets is not the coiling...nor the finished basket. It is not the amazement and excitement of people finding a tiny basket dangling from my phone...it is when someone receives their Memory Basket.

Ruth told me last year about her beautiful longtime friend, Lady. They had a wonderful relationship, the kind that comes from love and trust. When I heard that Lady had died, I was very sad. <a href="http://ruthsartwork.wordpress.com/2011/11/05/my-sweet-lady/">Ruth's blogpost about her loss</a> had me sobbing, but smiling, too. What wonderful memories Ruth had of her companion!
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I2wRc6w0nGw/T5V9YcrzbVI/AAAAAAAACRs/UNSnlCbaxlo/s1600/il_fullxfull.310271465.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="180" width="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I2wRc6w0nGw/T5V9YcrzbVI/AAAAAAAACRs/UNSnlCbaxlo/s200/il_fullxfull.310271465.jpg" /></a></div>
I was hoping she would contact me to let me make a memory basket for her in remembrance of Lady, and she did. An artist, Ruth had definite ideas about what she wanted, a great sense of color and style, and I felt so privileged to be entrusted with Lady's tail hair.

Thank you so much, Ruth, for the honor of making a memorial piece with the exquisitely colored tail hair of your cherished friend, and for letting me share your story here. Ruth also <a href="http://ruthsartwork.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/filling-the-memory-basket/">blogged about receiving her basket, her tribute shared even more amazing memories. </a>

As many of us do, she let the basket go without photographing it. But her friend was kind enough to snap a few views and send them back to her, so we get to see it!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xc9nWnsYJhI/TzLQ1VF1b4I/AAAAAAAACIU/jS_anxYpAcQ/s1600/curryworlfethewavebottom.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 282px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xc9nWnsYJhI/TzLQ1VF1b4I/AAAAAAAACIU/jS_anxYpAcQ/s320/curryworlfethewavebottom.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706853292445101954" border="0" /></a><br />Curry took the flamingo base and made a whole little scene out of it, with wrapped rows and strategically placed sparkling beads, she made a whole little ecosystem with shoreline and a big wave coming in...watch out, flamingo!
