I’m nearly there!I brought this loom home so I can work on this tapestry DAY AND NIGHT!Well, maybe not every day, but pretty much every night, haha!Though because I’m using the entire height of this loom, the warp is getting pretty tight … but y’know, if my fingers don’t bleed, I’m not working hard enough *I can’t wait to show you this one - it’s the first time I’ve woven on the side since my very first tapestry in 2012 :O

I’m experimenting with a longer warp, which I have avoided in future because I have this idea in my head that my tension will go haywire if my warp is too long … but hey, it’s all good, and I’m on scarf number three! I’m also experimenting with what colours are popular (which is always hard when I’m not into fashion :P), so I just go with what sells - so on this warp are Sage Green, Dusty Pink and you can see here an Emerald Geometric (which I have never made before) - so lush!I think scarf number 4...

Handwoven, by me, here on this loom!Yes, when I say ‘handwoven in South Australia’, I really mean it! Not just ‘designed in Australia’, with no mention of where it was actually made!I mean, what’s the fun in that??Don’t forget that the Bowerbird Design Market starts this Friday - plenty of handmade goods (including mine!) for you to buy! As well as good food, coffee and adult beverages ;)Check out Bowerbird's website for all the details :)
