Teaching my daughters about "living long ago" today. I remembered I had this video saved to watch later and it was a great example of a loom in action, thanks! Ha. I do love your art work. Lovely to see it come to life, in action!
Haa, that's so cool! Yeah, the actual process of making a tapestry is thousands of years old, and hasn't really changed (paintings from ancient Egypt show looms much the same as the ones I use!). It's pretty cool to create contemporary pieces of art using ancient techniques :)
I watched it again. So many questions! I am attempting my first tapestry. What do you do with the fringe at the end. What do you do with the remaining “grass” after mowing the back. I wish you were slower when dealing with roundish weaving and show how you achieve it
Hellooo! I have a lot of videos on my RUclips channel, including how I finish tapestries, how I do the hem, and close up 'weave with me' videos - have a watch, and let me know if you have any questions, or requests for videos 😁
Haa! I think people usually think they are part of the piece in progress pics ... but there's something so satisfying about taking them and the cartoon off at the end 😉
Can you do a series? From start to finish? Simple block or a repetitive pattern. Could you dumb it down?.. like you were teaching an 8 ear old. I think I would reall enjoy this art form, so please consider it.
Hey Elizabeth, have you seen Rebecca Mezoff's channel? She does amazing content for beginners! I'm not a tapestry teacher, I'm a fine artist, I'm just documenting my processes here on RUclips. You may enjoy my recent 'Weave With Me' video, I'll be doing a lot more of these! :)
Haha, it's something that my parents used to say to me as a kid when I always said I wanted to be an artist when I grew up ;) So yeah, it's a social comment on the lack of value put on art in today's society, but also a bit of dark humour ;)
I'm looking forward to filming the process of future tapestries too - let me know if you like seeing the whole process :)
this is incredible!
Thanks so much! 😁
This is fantastic!!! Wonderful skill!
Thanks so much! I thought I'd de-mystify the whole complicated process 😁
Wow I can't believe you did that without any heddle! Such patience.
Haha, thank you! :D
You're such a smart cookie, you're amazing!
Awww, the word you're looking for is 'tenacious' 😂
I just love what you do. You are amazing. The music is good too 😉🥰
Awww, thank you so much - I really appreciate your feedback 😁💜

Wonderful! Would love to see the whole process. I am just starting.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll have to make more of these, but let me know if there is anything in particular you'd like to see! :)

i actually like the magnets as part of this piece

Omg where can I purchase this sized loom?? ❤
Hey! You can find the link here: woolery.com/ashford-tapestry-loom.html?aff=209

@@ThreefoldDesigns woo hoo! I’m gonna look for her now
Thanks! Enjoyed watching! What loom is this?
Thanks so much! It's an Ashford tapestry loom - check out my video review which gives you more information :)
What type of thread do you weave with?
Hey Miranda! I use a combination of wool, cotton and linen. The linen gives my tapestries a stiffness I really like 😉
But wait, what did you do to the warp ends? Do they stay? Do they get clipped? What happened?
Hey, check out my video here: ruclips.net/video/j1SZVLfTQUs/видео.html
What loom are you using in this video? It's not the one in the Ashford Tapestry loom in your My Equipment link.
Yeah, Ashford have stopped making this loom since I posted this video :( It's an Ashford Tapestry loom, you may be able to find it secondhand?
If art is for losers, who are the winners 😊
Who knows? You tell me! 🤣
Is no one going mention that the tapestry says: "ART IS FOR LOSERS", but she does art?💀(edit: no offence intended!)

Gee thanks. I guess I am a looser :(
Haha, you know it's a joke, right?
@@ThreefoldDesigns yeah :) I wasn't being serious either.
@@Falney LOL!
