wip: wednesday

 Hello there ☺ Today I'm sharing my finished weaving project (so technically not a 'work-in'progress anymore ☺)
It proudly hangs on the wall in our entry, which has just had a make-over!

 I love how it's turned out - it's bright, it's full of texture and it makes me happy ☺
Here are a few close-up's:

 Played around with a bit of fringing in this one, using different fibers and yarn.

 I always love the roving - reminds me of fluffy clouds!

And another view of the bottom fringe that finishes off the weaving.

So this is officially my third weave that I've finished.  I wonder if I can find another spot in my house, for another weave ♥

Thanks for coming by ♥♥

wip: wednesday

Hello there and happy Wednesday.
It's been a few weeks since I've shared some 'work-in-progress' !  Over the past month, we've been re-doing our entry area and making it a bit more fresh.  I don't have before photo's, but we painted the face brick wall.
I love how it's turned out!  I've been adding some colourful touches with pictures and home decor - it's been fun.
We have quite a big entry, so this is just one section!

 

If you are a K-Mart fan, you will recognise some of the pieces ☺

 These pictures frames which I had previously painted held some photographs. 
I've changed it up a bit and created some 'word art' pieces.
The top one is using my Silhouette - I've cut it out on white cardstock and backed with some Heidi Swapp paper.
The 'in this house' frame .................. was inspired by Pinterest - love that place ☺
I've downloaded a chalkboard background and used my Word program to add in the text.
This piece will provide some good reminders for me and my family ♥

 And this one here is simply some Heidi Swapp pattern paper, with a glittery frame and wood veneer word - scrapbooking style in a frame. (all Heidi Swapp products)

 Last year, I completed a couple of weaves - they were so much fun and I've been wanting to do some more.
Procrastinating aside, I finally am making another!  There is a bit of a colour theme happening and when it 's done, it will sit nicely on the painted wall near the galah ☺

I love the texture that the roving makes ................

I will share the finished weave soon ☺
Thanks for coming by ♥♥

 Hello - it's officially the start of Summer school holidays - yay for that.  I love the relaxed feel of no particular routine ....................... 
I won't have too much more to share before the end of the year, but I did want to pop in and show you the latest weaving I've made!!
I ♥♥♥ it!!

 If you follow me on instagram you would have seen some progress pictures and also the hand loom that we made.  The loom was about the size of A3 - so it has made a decent size weave.  I had no set pattern in mind.  I just picked out some colours that I loved and was inspired by instagram accounts that share their weaving ..............
I even managed to source some wool roving from a local farm in Western Australia.

 Here are a few close-up's:

I'm sure this won't be my last piece of weaving art.  I hope to do some more in the New Year.  It's a great way to use up my yarn stash!!

Thanks for coming by ♥

 My first ever weave .............. and here it is!!  I loved doing this so much.  I previously posted about this project HERE - so you can read all the details about where I purchased the kit ☺

 I didn't follow any particular pattern - just had a bit of fun!  I love the rustic feel the jute twine has given.  Here are a few close-up's:

 I love how this bunting design came about and the addition of wooden buttons.

 Some fringing and a couple of different patterns of weaving for texture.

I've left the bottom of the weave as a fringe rather than finishing off at the last row of weaving.

So this is my first ....................... and it won't be my last.  I'm making my own loom at the moment and hope to be doing a new weaving project very soon.

Creating with love + happiness ♥

 Weaving ............................ an old-age craft which is definitely making a come back with a modern twist.  I've been seeing lots of gorgeous weaves, popping up on Instagram☺

 Recently, I purchased this simple hand loom kit from Typo Shop, so I could have a little play around .......................  I can see it being addictive.

 For my first piece, I'm using what was supplied in the kit ............. though I'm thinking I might add in some buttons.  I'm not following any particular design; just having a bit of fun and seeing where it takes me.

 The kit included three balls of yarn - two very bright colours - and some jute === which is used as the warp thread but I'm also incorporating it into my weave to give it a very rustic look.

 Because the jute is quite a thick thread, some of the warp is visible.  For my next one, I think I will try a white cotton thread and possibly thicker yarn.

It's quite a slow process, but I'm finding it very relaxing and great therapy at the end of a busy day .................................  a great little project to have around the place ☺

I'm linking this post with 'Currently Creative' by Give a Girl a blog.

I will be sure to share some more as I go along.
Thanks for popping by.
