MY LOOM IS IN THE HOUSE.

finally got my father and boyfriend to bring my loom downstairs, or like they like to call it my (weaving machine) haha, anywayz i am VERY happy that it's in the house,

it looks great in my living room!

So i started a woven scarf at school this week! these are not my colors at all, but i got to say i kinda like it, it's mostly blues with a shoot of pink, very colorful!!! Someone might get it as a Christmas present :)

So this summer my goal was to finish my FIRST project on MY loom! it started going well, but ended not soo well. My loom is second hand, and need some TLC, so right now i am stuck maybe 1quarter of my project started, which is not close to where i wish i was, BUT i mean this is all a learning process and going back to school next week will be VERY helpfull and i know i will someday finish this project :) and all that matters is ..LOVE MY LOOM, LOVE WEAVING, LOVE MY STUDIO. i'm a happy weaver.

INDIGO DYED SCARVES

For my finale history project we had to make a line of indigo dyed scarves, with any material we wanted to use. The Only things we were asked was (to have 3scarves, all dyed in indigo, for all of them to be differents, and also to all be somehow embellished) ..i used wool, and embellished them with wood buttons.

here is the final product.......
