VERY NICE, SOPHIE! :heart:

Happy Anniversary!

#226

What he said. :point_up: :slight_smile: Happy Anniversary.

Thanks @dlc96_darren and @Digital_Dave. It was a really nice, low key celebration and hubby loves his new camera strap. He put it on his camera today for a whirlwind trip down to FL tomorrow and back on Sat. (picking up an antique new-to-me loom!!!). I also designed a freestyle band today for my UberCoolNeighbor who is the city’s consummate cameraman and going to be celebrating his 70th Bday in a couple of weeks. There’s no stoppin me now! :wink:

Janelle, your work is absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had the patience!

Meant to post earlier but got involved in dinner prep…here’s my first Tapestry and it’s a tiny one. I threw everything I could think of at this piece…cotton, wool, metallic, silk, chenille, wool roving…stuff was flying all over the studio and I can’t remember when I had so much Fun! :smile:

And you say you have no patience. :smirk:

(Sophie) #231

Touche! :clap: :blush:

(Hyperbole- best thing in the universe!) #232

I love this so so so much!

I may need to do some loom shopping.

(Janelle) #233

Do you live anywhere near an IKEA? This can be used as a tapestry loom.

(Hyperbole- best thing in the universe!) #234

I haven’t seen that at my ikea, I’ll have to take a look. Thanks for the tip!

I think what I want is something I can do narrow scarves or other small items.

(Running from stupidity) #235

With a name like Lustig, it’s perfect for Keto people.

(Tiffani Dutridge) #236

This is awesome!

(Hyperbole- best thing in the universe!) #237

ha! I did take a second glance at the name, but didn’t realize why it seemed so familiar out of context!

#238

Oh sure, you start off with a small one, but then another, and another!

And they get Bigger, and BIGGER!

It’s a trap @Ruina! Run away! RUN AWAY!

(Hyperbole- best thing in the universe!) #239

This is a likely scenario, but I also have to be mindful that things need to be either packable, or something I’m willing to leave behind.

#240

I’m sure this is true in your situation, but you’ve heard of the word “addiction”, right?

I’ve seen this take over too many people…dear ones, I love.

I just don’t want you to fall into the same fate!

You notice the weavers on this thread aren’t commenting. They’re too busy weaving! It takes a objective person to make these warnings. :slight_smile:

(Hyperbole- best thing in the universe!) #241

You don’t know how well you are selling me on weaving.

It all starts with a simple lap loom.

I’m sure I could fit a little loom and some fibers in here somewhere.

#244

Ooh, a Ukulele!

You need to make a video of you playing, and post it! Maybe a lullaby?

Before you know it, you’ll have raw fiber stuck in corners and crevices, you never knew existed.

From the picture you posted above, you have NO IDEA the opportunities there. :slight_smile:
