My first rag rug in progress – made with a cotton warp and the weft is one half of a queen size duvet cover bought at the local school gala for $4! It takes longer to make the weaving strips than it does to weave the rug!
And some books just finished – coptic bound with quality heavy weight drawing and painting paper pages :
And four more covers which I have since made in to books but haven’t taken any pictures yet of the finished product
I also have some recycled books under way and will show some pictures soon.
I am enjoying the two branches at the moment – using lovely papers and heavy weight pages to make artists sketch books or small photo albums , guest books etc and recycling old books with a variety of pages to make notebooks , travel diaries or journals.
My weaving also has the two aspects – I have been exploring rag rug weaving using recycled fabrics and on my small loom at the moment I have some new wool weaving with which I am exploring making spaces in the warp and weft.
More pictures to come!
