Our household has gone crazy with yarn knitting and weaving over the past few weeks. It must be all of this cold weather! Painted Paper Weaving (6 year old) Our class theme this week was WEAVING. We started with paper weaving to master the basics. After searching the web, I decided to base the lesson on this pin as I loved the colour and simplicity of this paper weaving. After the paper weaving we moved onto yarn weaving which I will post about next. What you need: painted paper (I used up all of the extra paint from the previous two weeks to make this paper) Black markers Scissors Glue sticks Oil pastels Sheet of A3 black paper How to: Ask the children to draw lines on their painted paper with a black marker. I said they didn't have to be exactly straight and they could make them interesting if they wanted. Ask the children to cut out the strips of paper Once they have at least 5 strips of paper they can glue one end down onto a black piece of paper They then wove the other strips through Once the weaving was complete they glued down all the loose ends The final step was to decorate with oil pastels The Results: Paper Weaving (5 to 9 years) Our artist of the week is Murray Walker. Murray was the artist responsible for planning, designing and coordinating the "The Federation Tapestry" which was commissioned to mark the centenary of Australia's Federation in 2001. It is displayed at the Melbourne Museum. It took over 2 years to produce (20,000 hours) and 22 artist-weavers were involved. Its is 41 metres in length. Part of the Federation Tapestry Cheers Fiona

Lately I have two main weaving goals forefront in my mind when planning a new project. *The first is the ever demanding stash reducer ~ what I weave MUST use something out of the stash. *The second is that what I weave should be something that I can sell. After all these years of weaving I have more table linens and scarves than one person can reasonably use, and since for some reason I continue to make mistakes; (what is with that?) I’m constantly adding to them! This project filled both criteria quite nicely and with some panache too! Digging deeply into the 2/8 unmercerized cotton I found 12 ounces of marine blue and 8 ounces of lime ~ the perfect amount for 4 tea towels ~ just. I must admit that it is getting harder and harder to make sense of the bits and bobs I have left, but I'm determined to hold off buying more as long as possible! I pulled a warp of 5 yards in length and 24 inches wide which will make just 4 tea towels. I wanted to make a graphically strong statement and I think I’ve succeeded with this pattern of curly stars which appear in all four corners of the towel. To ensure that I had enough marine for all 4 towels I’ve made 6 stripes of lime on either side which really makes a bold statement. I wove 4 pattern repeats, then added a cotton sewing thread to mark my hem turn under. I find that this really helps when you are finishing the towels. Then I wove 7 pattern repeats before starting the six alternating lime and navy stripes . I love how bold the stars appear! So far I have woven two of these tea towels, but a bout of surgery has slowed me down somewhat. A couple of weeks ago I had laser surgery on my kidneys to nuke a few stones and although it went well; the stent they left behind is giving me lots of grief right now. Hopefully, it won’t be with me long and I can get on with weaving. The garden photo this time is of Magnolia soulangeana 'Little Girl ~ Susan' commonly called a Saucer Magnolia. This is a dwarf variety of the cultivar and the flowers look far to big for the wee tree!

Kids can weave with this DIY cardboard loom.
So many "W" words! We Weave our Warp with a Weft or a Woof! Weaving is Wonderful! Second graders folded paper in half, and used rulers to mark off 5 or 6 lines to cut. Then they "decorated" the warp with a pattern, gluing on colorful or patterned paper strips between the cuts in the paper. When the glue was dry, they chose ANOTHER pattern to weave with. Some kids repeated the same pattern, others chose something totally different. When weaving was complete, ends were glued down, and the weaving was glued to a larger sheet of construction paper. Many kids who finished quickly chose to decorate their weaving with black Sharpies and/or white colored pencils. Other quick finishers became teacher helpers, assisting kids who found the pattern of weaving to be a little challenging.

After 2 days of working, some of the kids were far behind, so then I brought out thicker ribbon, tissue paper and raffia to fill in the gaps. Some … Read more... →
