I don't know the brand, I bought it used many years ago, but it is similar to the Glimakra, Gobelin style loom. It has rollers top and bottom but not treadles. One shed is always open, the other has string leashes that you pull on to make the other shed.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912129071129770715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829312867584191579.post-31320542314233084182011-08-11T07:16:27.376-04:002011-08-11T07:16:27.376-04:00What an awesome idea!

I will be interested to read your documentation. <br /><br />The tapestry diary was an amazing experience, one with so many lessons. I will be looking back to it for years to come.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912129071129770715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829312867584191579.post-68988528413775831302011-06-11T00:45:27.601-04:002011-06-11T00:45:27.601-04:00Well it was precisely this idea of the diary that ...Well it was precisely this idea of the diary that I came to think about the woven tapestry journal for the Birch Tree project being woven at the Attic at Joshua Creek on Oakville. It is finally finished, but the work of documenting the everyday progress, which I have in pictures is just about to start. I am a weaver more than a writer, especially not being my first language the English. I will try to do my best to follow up on your ideas and suggestions. They are fabulous and inspiring!

I'm glad it's inspiring for you, it is for me too!<br /><br />The idea is just to make a plan that you know you can handle. If that means you only weave for 5 minutes a day, then fine. Part of the point is getting into the habit of doing something every day.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912129071129770715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829312867584191579.post-70647922461622181202011-04-12T14:45:28.589-04:002011-04-12T14:45:28.589-04:00I love your tapestry diary so much Jan.

Somehow your method of dividing each of your chosen methods of work (tapestry and sketching)renders them more approachable for a beginner like me. Time to re=awaken my old, malnourished blog! :-)Edithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720104214537603483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829312867584191579.post-44445491712078244812011-01-05T22:22:14.965-05:002011-01-05T22:22:14.965-05:00It's been quite a learning experience and lots...It's been quite a learning experience and lots of fun too. Honestly, in the first month I was having a really bad day and suddenly realized I had not woven my entry yet. It really cheered me up and made my day to have that to look forward to.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912129071129770715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829312867584191579.post-80205550968447629672011-01-05T14:56:06.907-05:002011-01-05T14:56:06.907-05:00Love the parallelograms and the colors.
