I was a good girl today and started off by cleaning bathrooms and grocery shopping, and then I got home...
Yes, I am loving learning about band weaving! Mom got me started on it. I haven't done nearly as much as she has, but she's been weaving for a lot longer than I have. I am fascinated!
My new fascination has not kept me from tatting Ice Drops. I am drawn to them, like a moth to a flame.
I don't think I've duplicated any one I've made, although some have been similar to others. I feel a little guilty that I haven't tried out all the variations that other tatters have shared, but I like the fact that I can tat the original pattern with variations and never look at a pattern. 😊
I was very excited to open them mail today! Aren't these shuttles from Rita Richmond adorable? They may be my new favorite Moonlit shuttles!
More great Ice Drops!! :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous looking shuttles!!! :)
Is band weaving the same as card weaving? I got a book out of the library once about card weaving, but didn't actually try it. I shall watch your learning journey with interest!
ReplyDeleteCard weaving is a bit different. I read up about it and even bought all of the supplies several years ago. However, it was way too complicated for me, so I gave it all away to another person who showed interest.
DeleteFrom what I understand, the band weaving pattern is formed by the warp threads, and designs can be added by picking up warp threads and creating floats on the top. I may be able to explain it better some day!
Oh the weaving is so tempting to want to try, but for now just like to look at it!
ReplyDeleteOne day I would like to try a weaving project. Your shuttles are always so lovely!
