The Small Rutevev, Before Finishing

August 17, 2012 Robbie LaFleur Uncategorized Leave a comment

I meant to post a photo of the small rutevev, before the ends were woven in and it was nicely framed.

Messy!  Finishing and framing definitely makes a difference.

Start them young! My 11-year-old granddaughter Alden wove a beautiful tapestry, a close look at a leaf, based on the style of Georgia O’Keefe’s paintings. She lives in L.A., and has a wonderful art teacher. She is on the left of the second photo, with her friend Kennedy. Look at all of the lovely weavings. #tapestryweaving #kidstapestryweaving
My cousin Gretchen sent me her set of Dansk dinnerware - so great! Plus she added my favorite Norwegian-tapestry-inspired set of placemats. Coffee on the Baldishol tapestry. And just to show how ridiculously Norwegian my home is, I found a rosemaled switch plate in my mother’s wooden ware closet on the farm last week. That’s what rosemalers have - closets full of wood objects to paint (instead of yarn). #baldisholteppet #familytreasures
Borrowed Baby Wolf loom in the dining room, empty then warped to test out the Frida Hansen wool transparency technique on a horizontal loom for my workshops this fall. I fully expect it will work fine! The Baby Wolf is so quick to warp. #weaving #handweaving #scandinavianweaving #tapestryweaving
I forgot about this monksbelt runner for three years, and then rediscovered it in a drawer at the Weavers Guild, while looking for something else. How could I forget it? I wove it on a group warp on February 22, 2020. I think we know what happened soon after! I'm happy to have it again. #monksbelt #scandinavianweaving #handwoven #handwoventextiles #handweaversofinstagram #weavingmn #weaversguildmn #vev
The house I grew up in is empty. Time for ghost photos? Baby Terry has a cowboy hat on 1959. Now the room is empty. In the dining room, one Christmas, stood my Mom, my sister Barbara, me, and my sister Terry. #childhood #ghostphoto
Two things about demonstrating weaving along with Judy Larson at the Weavers Guild of Minnesota last Saturday (part of the Minneapolis "Doors Open" event). Judy, shown at the Glimakra loom weaving a telemarksteppe, is a MASTER at describing how a loom works to interested and puzzled visitors. And she had the best line ever to a visitor who seemed reluctant to try weaving on a simple loom. "I teach this to kindergartners," Judy deadpanned, "You are old enough." I wove a fox tapestry. #weaversguildmn #telemarksteppe #scandinavianweaving #handweaving #weaving
