I am working on a large series of woven and mixed fiber media pieces that I am calling: Woven Women.
I am almost done a fairly large piece, called: Mermaid’s Song:

She’s large- 6 ft by 2ft, and hard to photograph in my studio, so I figured that I would show a video of her.
I used small looms, knitting, crochet, tatting, spoolknitting and flower looms to make her, along with copper foil work.
Some of the looms were: 2 inch square vintage weave it loom, potholder loom, pinboard looms, Martha Stewart loom and flower looms.

Remember: The size of your loom doesn’t limit the size of your finished piece!
Happy weaving! 🙂

Hey there Noreen:
These creations are all quite beautiful. I smell a book coming around. LOL At least I am hoping that something of this sort or even a guidance pattern will be coming up soon.
They are all quite beautiful.

Hi Debbie
Oh! I hadn’t even thought about a book…. that’s an idea, for sure! At this point, they are part of a large series that I am working on for a one woman show. But a book does make sense… thanks so much for the inspiration 😀

Thank you so much, Margaret. I took a slew of photos of the process of building the mermaid, and also of ‘Dreaming the Well’ https://tottietalkscrafts.com/2012/03/09/peg-loom-tapestry-dreaming-the-well/, but not quite as many. I am thinking that I should probably photograph the process of building the Woven Women more thoroughly so I can do a book…. Thank you so much for the encouragement to do this!!!! 😀
