As you say. They offer so much.

I'm toying with acquiring a rigid heddle loom for speed but I doubt it will give me the same flexibility and ability to adapt as I weave as my small tapestry loom does - something to discuss with Rebecca who has been helping me. I have so much to learn!Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-31469763389244088312017-01-23T18:33:26.606+00:002017-01-23T18:33:26.606+00:00What delightful explorations with weft & warp!...What delightful explorations with weft & warp! And I love the idea of architecture as weaving inspiration...the repeating vertical & horizontal elements that comprise high rises provide such a great theme.

I also have an Ashford knitting loom which is useful for experimenting with different weave structures.

Rebecca is an excellent teacher who listens to my concerns, discusses options with me and tailors her help accordingly ... lovely, and not always what I've found in textile workshops! I only wish I could find someone of similar mind to help me with the other aspects of my work.Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-53656627724050401282017-01-19T17:47:41.016+00:002017-01-19T17:47:41.016+00:00What a lovely lot of input for you!

I can imagine that your mind is buzzing, and that you are keen to experiment.<br />I taught myself to weave with a Navaho backstrap loom when we lived in the USA. I also attended a great workshop on kilim weaving here several years back. Were I not stitching and printing etc. I would love to spend more time weaving - tapestry weaving. I agree with you about 'difficult'/tedious weaving! although I admire folks who do do it. Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.com
